An essential volume for the libraries of all serious students of
the Tarot. When the Tarot was invented in Italy during the early
fifteenth century, it was simply a pack of cards used for playing
games. Esoteric interpretations of the pack date from late
eighteenth century France, and were confined to that country for a
hundred years. But today the cards are used throughout the world
and not only for fortune telling - for true believers they are the
key to secret knowledge and the meaning of life. A History of the
Occult Tarot is the classic work on the history of the Tarot deck
and its use in occult circles. Starting with the late nineteenth
century, the Decker and Dummett examine how the Tarot became the
favoured divination tool of occultists, a bridge to the spirit
world, and a map of the unconscious. From Theosophical to Aleister
Crowley to the Order of the Golden Dawn and P.D. Ouspensky, this
compelling survey of the Tarot's history describes the many
fascinating decks imagined over time as well as the secret
histories of mystics.
