The 78 cards can be employed to unlock the secrets of the universe and to foretell the future — but only by those who comprehend their esoteric truths.A pillar of occult science, The Tarot of the Bohemians provides a theological element to the work begun by Antoine Court de Gébelin, Etteila, and Éliphas Lévi, and advanced by A. E. Waite, the distinguished scholar and designer of the most widely known deck. Geared toward initiates, its topics include an introduction to the study of the Tarot as well as its symbolism and applications. This revised edition includes a Preface by Waite in addition to illustrative plates, charts, and tables.

An Essential Work of 19th-Century French Occultism from the Leading Intellectual of the Era Explore Papus's Pivotal Teachings on the Secret History of the World, Symbols and Their Meanings, and the Nature of the Magical Universe Available in English for the First Time One of the most important books in the modern history of occultism, Papus's Elementary Treatise of Occult Science helped establish the shape of occult thinking and practice for decades...and its legacy as a source of spiritual philosophy continues today. Never before published in English, this work explores a fascinating interpretation of the history of the world and develops a powerful approach to decoding esoteric symbolism, a crucial skill for contemporary occultists. Papus also provides a stunning analysis of ancient mysteries, including Hermeticism, astrology, magic, alchemy, theosophy, signification of numbers, the astral plane, sacred geometry, Kabbalah, the tetragrammaton, the pyramids, and much more. This premium hardcover edition introduces the contemporary occultist to the ideas of one of history's most profound metaphysical thinkers. Front Flap: "Let us open the door and let us not be blinded by the light which escapes it, let us not be afraid to say that which must be said, because the masters wished that certain mysteries be revealed...What then have you seen on the occult side of the Universe?"―Papus Elementary Treatise on Occult Science was one of the most influential books to emerge from the turn-of-the-century French occult revival―a detailed and readable description of the magical universe and humanity's place in it. Many important teachers and authors of the esoteric arts―including Madame Blavatsky, Rudolf Steiner, and Manly P. Hall―were influenced by Papus's vision of occult philosophy and the hidden side of history. This volume, translated and annotated by Mark Mikituk with a foreword by John Michael Greer, provides a captivating view of Papus's visionary mind and his radical ideas.

Qabalah Secret Tradition West (Studies in hermetic tradition)

Occult & Paranormal

Red Wheel/Weiser

Written by a physician, Gerard Encausse, under his occultist name Papus, this book is one of the three pillars of occult Tarotism. Antoine Court de Gebelin was the initiator of themovement, and Arthur E. Waite introduced fresh mystical interpretations and some healthy skepticism, but it was Papus who gave us the impressive compilation which might also be called the theological apparatus of Tarotism. Further, as founder and leader of the spiritual-masonic Order of the Martinists, Papus also provided the Tarot with the large audience of initiates to which this book is chiefly addressed. The Order spread widely; it had lodges in Europe, North and South America, Africa and Asia. During World War II its French members successfully resisted the Gestapo's attempts to exterminate them. They even founded a new lodge, to which the oracular Tarot gave the name of Bethel.
