Brotherhood of Tatun Sakhti Ongoing Projects

The goal of the Brotherhood of Tatun Sakhti book series (BOTS6book) is to not only keep readers in suspense but also challenge their perception of reality, to bring up many questions about nature of life, our acceptance of each other, about our differences, reasons behind our choices, and our constant search for the ultimate truth.

In previous versions of the book description, I wrote a little story about its origin. I have decided to remove it. One thing I can say: in 2007, during a medication, I had a vision about the book and had been obsessed about it ever since.

Initially, I planned to write one book but ended up with ideas for six.

  1. The Blue Child
  2. Entering the Silence
  3. Dyn
  4. Brotherhood of Tatun Sakhti
  5. The World
  6. Arieh

Here is a secret for you: each chapter of the book relates to a Tarot card from the Tarot of The Fool deck, which was a part of a project back in college. I felt each card from the Tarot of The Fool could be a perfect symbol for a corresponding main character’s life situation described in each chapter. Brotherhood of Tatun Sakhti consists of 6 parts. Each part contains 13 chapters: 6 x 13 = 78 Tarot cards. I want to assure you though: it is NOT a story with Tarot cards in focus. (Like that movie. What was the name? I think Jonny Depp was in it… Ninth Gate.) They merely used as guides – markers to identify different parts of a journey.

Once I finish the 1st part of the series, I may publish it here. I may also decide to upload The Blue Child to Wattpad and then, after being destroyed by critics, erase everything and never write again. *googly eyed smiley face*

If the book is well-received, I may also publish a paper version through Amazon and provide readers with an opportunity to share their hard-earned money with their beloved artist through donations and purchase of many (BOTS6book-related or not) exciting products. If the book is ill-received, I may still do everything I have planned but with a blushing face.
