Infos

This book is a practical guide on the art of Tarot, helping novice and experienced readers better understand this mysterious art. The book starts with an insight into the history of the Tarot and its connection with some occult parts of the past. Further, the authors go into great detail about the Greater and Lesser Arcanas, the Veil of Divinations, its secrets, symbols, traditions, and methods. It is believed that a significant part of the text was copied from a similar book by the British author g A.E. Waite, called "The Pictorial Key to the Tarot." L.W. de Laurence used the loops in the copyright law during WWI and published the British book in the United States, as in that period, the interest in esoterica and Tarot was looming.
