Paul Foster Case was an American occultist of the early 20th
century and author of numerous books on occult tarot and Qabalah.
Perhaps his greatest contributions to the field of occultism were
the lessons he wrote for associate members of Builders of the
Adytum. The Knowledge Lectures given to initiated members of the
Chapters of the B.O.T.A. were equally profound, although the
limited distribution has made them less well known. Case was early
on attracted to the occult. While still a child he reported
experiences that today are called lucid dreaming. He corresponded
about these experiences with Rudyard Kipling who encouraged him as
to the validity of his paranormal pursuits. In the year 1900, Case
met the occultist Claude Bragdon while both were performing at a
charity performance. Bragdon asked Case what he thought the origin
of playing cards was. After pursuing the question in his father's
library, Case discovered a link to tarot, called 'The Game of Man,
' thus began what would become Case's lifelong study of the tarot,
and leading to the creation of the B.O.T.A. tarot deck, a
"corrected" version of the Rider-Waite cards. Between 1905 and 1908
(aged 20-24), Case began practicing yoga, and in particular
pranayama, from what published sources were available. His early
experiences appear to have caused him some mental and emotional
difficulties and left him with a lifelong concern that so called
"occult" practice be done with proper guidance and training.

Waite is included, explaining the meanings of the cards and how to use them for divination, with an introduction by Stuart R. Kaplan.
"New Thought" adherents at the turn of the 20th century vehemently

In the chaos of daily life, many Christians long for the time and
mental clarity to reflect on scripture, to worship, and to pray. The
Tarot can become an unexpected tool in this journey, inviting us to
pause, contemplate, and find insight and wisdom in our walk. In The
Contemplative Tarot, author Brittany Muller draws deeply on Christian
tradition and theology to create a tarot practice built on spiritual
reflection, prayer, and worship.
The Tarot has held countless meanings to countless listeners over the
course of its existence, but The Contemplative Tarot offers a uniquely
Christian interpretation of the cards, including Bible verses and
meditations on each of their spiritual meanings. Brittany provides
practical guidance on how to use the cards in a Christian context,
whether as prompts for personal prayer, daily reminders of spiritual
truths, or as part of a more structured practice such as the Ignatian
examen.
The Contemplative Tarot offers a thoughtful, introspective new
interpretation of the Tarot and an invitation to create powerful
moments of reflection and worship in your daily life.
