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 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...
