Paul Foster Case
Paul Foster Case was born in Fairport NY in 1884. At the age of 16 he became interested in the theater, he also worked in comedy & vaudeville. He died in 1954.
His interest in the Tarot began around 1901, which led to his interest in occultism and study of both Magick & stage magic. He was a student of Theosophy, member of the Golden Dawn, in its hey-day, and several other groups.
Case was a prolific writer on the Tarot, Qabalah, Rosicrucianism, Spiritual Alchemy, Esoteric Astrology, Magick, the correlation of color & sound in healing and & other occult subjects. His articles appeared in the popular occult press of his day including "The World," "Azoth," "The Occult Review" etc.
Case advanced the theory that the Tarot deck was invented around 1200 A.D. in Fez Morocco as a means of preserving the ageless wisdom in pictorial format, a true universal language.

SOME INTERESTING GEOGRAPHY:
The area where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers come closest together -- allegedly the place of the earliest human "civilization" -- lies virtually at the 33°30'N latitude, in what is now modern Iraq. The ancient pre-India city, Harappa, once lay along this latitude, as well as did Babylon.
"The longest continually inhabited city in the world" is Damascus, Syria, at 33°30'N latitude.
The 33°30'N parallel runs through the disputed Kashmir region along with the capital of Pakistan, Islamabad; also, the Northern Himalayas, and Lungdo, Tibet.

Berber Symbols
The Berber people are the inhabitants of North Africa. Nowadays there are Berber groups from Mauritania to Egypt. They inhabit the mountain regions and parts of the Sahara Desert. Berbers refer themselves as the Imazighan meaning "The Free People". The Berber symbols, designs, motifs and tattoos originated from pre-Islamic beliefs influenced later by Islamic geometric patterns and ornamentation.
Textiles and other objects are created as an act for worship and tribute to Allah. Many objects may contain a baraka. The baraka does not exist only in amulets or talismans but in any kind of objects in order to deal with darker forces and curing illnesses. In North Africa there is still some symbols to be found such as, magic squares and geometric figures (triangles, spirals, crosses, eight pointed stars, circles, diamonds).
