The Divinatory Tarot

A chance to glean insight into one the 'greats' of nineteenth century occultism and his thoughts about the mystery of the Tarot. Throughout his life as a dedicated occultist, Papus influenced such luminaries as Aleister Crowley, A.E.Waite, McGregor Mathers and Mouni Sadhu. His Tarot of the Bohemians has never gone out of print and is translated into a plethora of languages. A friend and confident of the great Parisian Mage, Eliphas Levi, he can truly be said to be a founder of the modern occult movement. Highlights of The Divinatory Tarot include Papus' designs for his own Tarot deck; Discussions of the relationship of numerology and the tarot; New Divinatory meanings; A unique view of the French occult school; The Tarot and Astrology.
