Overview

What does the Dæmon Tarot hold in store for you? Summon the power of infernal beings to guide you on your path . . .

For the 1863 sixth edition of his Dictionnaire Infernal (“Infernal dictionary”), a volume filled with entries about magic and the occult, demonologist Jacques Auguste Simon Collin de Plancy commissioned over five hundred unique engravings—including 69 signed illustrations by Luis Breton, mostly compelling portraits of named demons. Now author Ariana Osborne has created a matched set of 69 cards out of Breton’s works and written a companion book of illustrated entries for each.  These entries detail each dæmon’s attributes compiled not only from the Dictionnaire, but from a variety of other sources; Osborne’s own interpretations and insights into the subject of each card; and focused meanings to use in a traditional one-card draw or a six-card spread—“the next best thing to dragging a dæmon into your living room to answer all of your questions.”

Includes:
  • Tarot deck inluding 69 illustrated dæmon cards
  • 160-page guidebook including interpretations of each card that can be applied to a variety of life experiences, from making major financial decisions to general daily guidance

About the Author

Ariana Osborne is a second-generation print designer who grew up watching her mother magically turn piles of notes and sketches into real books. Now that shes all grown up, Ariana does her own work in design and layout for books, magazines, comics, and digital—and she still thinks thats pretty magical. She lives in Portland, OR, where she keeps bees for the wax (and the gossip), trains a doberman for the companionship (and the laughs)—and occasionally feeds a black cat because he showed up one day (probably when she unlocked the sufficient witchery achievement). But the cat didnt move in permanently because Arianas just not that sort of witch.
