First published in 1896, "The Magical Ritual of the Sanctum Regnum" is an interesting dissertation on the ruling of the world by the seven great archangels written by Éliphas Lévi, (1810 - 1875), a French author of occult literature and ceremonial magician. In this vintage volume, Lévi outlines how the world is ruled by one of the seven archangels, each for a period of 354 years. The archangels are represented by celestial bodies, with Michael being the sun, Gabriel being the moon, Samael, Mars, etc. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in the occult, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage esoteric literature. Contents include: "The Magical Ritual of the Sanctum Regnum", "The Priestess - La Papesse", "The Empress - L'imperatrice", "The Emperor", "L'Emereur", "The Pope of Hierophant - Le Pape", "The Lovers - L'amoureux", "The Chariot of Hermes - Le Chariot", "Justice - La Justice", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

Tarot cards have been around since the Renaissance and have become increasingly popular in recent years, often due to their prevalence in popular culture. While Tarot means many different things to many different people, the cards somehow strike universal chords that can resonate through popular culture in the contexts of art, television, movies, even comic books. The symbolism within the cards, and the cards as symbols themselves, make Tarot an excellent device for the media of popular culture in numerous ways. They make horror movies scarier. They make paintings more provocative. They provide illustrative structure to comics and can establish the traits of television characters. The Cards: The Evolution and Power of Tarot begins with an extensive review of the history of Tarot from its roots as a game to its supposed connection to ancient Egyptian magic, through its place in secret societies, and to its current use in meditation and psychology. This section ends with an examination of the people who make up today's tarot community. Then, specific areas of popular culture-art, television, movies, and comics-are each given a chapter in which to survey the use of Tarot. In this section, author Patrick Maille analyzes such works as Deadpool, Books of Magic by Neil Gaiman, Disney's Haunted Mansion, Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows, The Andy Griffith Show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and King of the Hill. The cards are evocative images in their own right, but the mystical fascination they inspire makes them a fantastic tool to be used in our favorite shows and stories.

Tarot cards have been used for over five hundred years, for gameplay, divination, creative inspiration and spiritual practice. The practice of reading Tarot comes with a rich, complex history, full of mystical, philosophical, and religious mystery. As old as the art form may be, its popularity in modern culture is growing rapidly- Tarot decks and cartomancy play a significant role in many present-day metaphysical healing practices, spiritual training, as well as artistic and creative circles...


With detailed illustrations and cryptic symbolism, Tarot can easily pique your interest--but where should you begin? There is an overwhelming amount of information out there, and since Tarot is an esoteric practice, it's difficult to know which sources have enough authority to provide accurate and reliable instruction...


In truth, there is no right way to use Tarot, nor is there a wrong way. The practice of cartomancy is all about intuition. If you don't consider yourself a deeply intuitive person, then the cards can be used to enhance your emotional instincts. Alternatively, if you are already guided by your visceral sensations, you might use Tarot to articulate and explain your gut instincts, elevating the things you feel to things you believe, understand, or "know"...


The only way to know how useful and impactful Tarot could be in your life is to try it. Roll up your sleeves and dive in, whether you already have a deck or are simply considering how and where to acquire one. The best time to get started is right now...
