The Twilight of the Gods Tarot explores the mythology of the Greeks, Vikings, Egyptians, and Slavs with some other world mythology. This guidebook is a larger version of the LWB included with the card set originally available only on Kickstarter.
The cards are now available on Etsy.
Originally published in 1909 to little fanfare, the
Rider-Waite-Smith tarot went on to become the bestselling tarot
deck of all time. This thorough guide shares the fascinating
history of this important deck, a complete analysis of what each
card means, and 78 spreads to help you integrate each card s unique
spiritual energy. Explore Waite and Smith s involvement in the
magical order known as the Golden Dawn and discover how they
combined their knowledge of astrology, Kabbalah, metaphysics,
mythology, and theatre to realize their profound vision. This book
delves deeply into the roots of these influential cards, exploring
how artist Pamela Colman Smith and occultist Arthur Waite brought
together an enchanting and beguiling set of esoteric symbols and
formed a magical deck that continues to influence the field of
divination today.
Grim Agents of Cosmic Forces... In the early twentieth century,
legendary horror writer H.P. Lovecraft described an ancient tome as
"the unmentionable Necronomicon of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred . .
. a book which I had never seen, but of which I had heard monstrous
things whispered." In the early twenty-first century, best-selling
author Donald Tyson wove the myriad rumors and whispers of
Lovecraft's dread grimoire into the epic fantasy novels
Necronomicon and Alhazred. Intended as a trilogy, this tarot
completes Tyson's formidable work. The Necronomicon Tarot brings
the phantasmagoric desert wanderings of Alhazred to life in a
stunningly visceral deck and companion book. Seventy-eight
captivating illustrations by fantasy artist Anne Stokes capture the
mythic and monstrous world of Tyson's Necronomicon while remaining
true to the underlying structure and tradition of tarot. Prepare to
enter a world where the accursed and tormented poet wanders in
search of the greatest and darkest magic -- divination with the
dead. This kit includes 78-card tarot deck and 240-page companion
tarot book.
