The enigmatic and richly illustrative tarot deck reveals a host of
strange and iconic mages, such as The Tower, The Wheel of Fortune,
The Hanged Man and The Fool: over which loom the terrifying figures
of Death and The Devil. The 21 numbered playing cards of tarot have
always exerted strong fascination, way beyond their original
purpose, and the multiple resonances of the deck are ubiquitous.
From T S Eliot and his 'wicked pack of cards' in "The Waste Land"
to the psychic divination of Solitaire in Ian Fleming's "Live and
Let Die"; and from the satanic novels of Dennis Wheatley to the
deck's adoption by New Age practitioners, the cards have in modern
times become inseparably connected to the occult. They are now
viewed as arguably the foremost medium of prophesying and
foretelling. Yet, as the author shows, originally the tarot were
used as recreational playing cards by the Italian nobility in the
Renaissance. It was only much later, in the 18th and 19th
centuries, that the deck became associated with esotericism before
evolving finally into a diagnostic tool for mind, body and spirit.
This is the first book to explore the remarkably varied ways in
which tarot has influenced culture. Tracing the changing patterns
of the deck's use, from game to mysterious oracular device, Helen
Farley examines tarot's emergence in 15th century Milan and
discusses its later associations with astrology, kabbalah and the
Age of Aquarius.

The Book of Black Magic is Arthur Edward Waite's magnum opus of
occult lore; this edition contains the author's original icons,
symbols, seals and drawings. This supreme guide to occultist
history, lore, magick, and ceremony is split into two parts: The
first is entitled ""The Literature of Ceremonial Magic."" Here,
Waite examines the ritualistic traditions which surrounding the
occult movement for centuries. He notes various texts, and how
these had a bearing upon the practice of the occult and of magical
ceremony. The second part, ""The Complete Grimoire,"" concerns how
those who practice black magic and occult ritual become versed in
the craft. The stringent physical and mental requirements, and the
need to practice a spiritual attunement and inner ablution, is
detailed. Astronomical knowledge of the planets and their movements
is a necessity, as is possession of a variety of instruments, plus
a deep knowledge of the various symbols and scripts used in
occultism.
Let your love of fate go beyond the cards—and as far as the amor
fati of Nietzsche! The Philosophers Tarot is chance’s tryst with
reason: a marriage of philosophy’s conceptual creativity with the
tarot’s path of intuition. Read your spreads in the traditional
manner, or delve deeply into the rich philosophical implications
that emerge with every draw. While every tarot deck seeks to lift
the veil from the forces of the universe, The Philosopher’s Tarot
does so by gesturing towards the wisdom of history’s most notable
sages. The Philosopher’s Tarot is a tarot deck which infuses the
classic 78 card Rider-Waite deck with popular philosophical figures
and their theoretical creativity. With added flair and vibrance,
The Philosopher’s Tarot elicits a mixture of classical
interpretations and philosophical inquiry. The deck comprises
mashups of the 22 major arcana with famous theorists. The minor
arcana has also been reworked to highlight the deck’s convergence
with philosophical themes. New spreads also engage the tarot’s
capacity to reveal fresh perspectives to its user whilst invoking
stimulating questions about the nature of reality, the machinations
of the world we live in, and the limits of our minds and bodies.
The Philosopher’s Tarot includes new renditions of the
traditional 78 tarot cards and a 35-page booklet that briefly
introduces the ideas of thinkers featured in the deck.
