The Tarot: A Key to the Wisdom of the Ages

by Paul Foster Case

Overview

Many students of the Western esoteric tradition consider Paul Foster Case's The Tarot the finest explanation that has yet appeared on the occult meaning of numbers, the construction of the Tarot, and the attribution of the 22 Major Trumps to the Hebrew alphabet.

In clear and understandable language, Case elucidates the Tarot tradition and technique for the modern thinker. Students of the Tarot will find in these pages the necessary information to understand and apply the principles of Tarot-and the correspondences of symbol, tone, color, and number-to the art of daily living. The author also includes extremely useful chapters on methods of study and Tarot divination.

In this 2006 edition, the book appears for the first time with an index and an appendix of resources. Here is a genuine underground masterpiece, made available to a broad new readership.

Editorial Reviews

Case's 1947 guide to the Tarot still is considered among the best on the subject. Besides offering detailed analysis, the author links Tarot to Kabala, astrology, numerology, and other metaphysical systems based on numbers. This new edition adds an index and appendixes, plus a brief biography of Case. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
