Tarot Revelations

It is with great excitement that we introduce the second volume of the Golden Dawn Tarot Series, a collection of distinguished books on Tarot written by leaders of the Golden Dawn Tradition. The second book of this series, Tarot Revelations, contains Paul Foster Case s most advanced teachings on the Tarot. In this text, the student is shown how to form occult relationships between the various letters of the esoteric alphabet revealed in Book T. This book, and its companion, Wisdom of Tarot, were originally distributed as Tarot Instruction, Section First and Tarot Instruction, Section Second . These texts followed Sections A, B, C, and D and came before the Hermetic Alchemy: Science and Practice course in the original School of Ageless Wisdom course curriculum. Sections A, B, C, and D were recently published as The Early Writings, Volume 1 and 2 by the Fraternity of the Hidden Light; Hermetic Alchemy: Science and Practice was recently published by the Rosicrucian Order of the Golden Dawn as the second volume in the The Golden Dawn Alchemy series. With the publication of these texts, the entire course curriculum of Paul Foster Case, as distributed by the School of Ageless Wisdom, is now available to stu-dents of the Golden Dawn Tradition.

The final book of the Bible, Revelation prophesies the ultimate judgement of mankind in a series of allegorical visions, grisly images and numerological predictions. According to these, empires will fall, the "Beast" will be destroyed and Christ will rule a new Jerusalem. With an introduction by Will Self.

Richard Roberts shows us how to read tarot cards using his interactive technique of free association and feedback flowing between the reader and the client and allowing the cards to be accessed directly, free from occult or assigned meaning. He uses 7 different spreads: a 5-card Yes/No Spread, the Magic Seven Spread, the 21 card Pyramid, the Three Seven Spread, the 64-card Astrological Spread, the Great Experiment, and his own 22-card Jungian Spread. These spreads are unique and have been adapted by many other tarot books. Richard Roberts gives the reader an inside look into what can happen during a tarot consultation and will inspire you to let your intuition fly.

The enigmatic and richly illustrative tarot deck reveals a host of strange and iconic mages, such as The Tower, The Wheel of Fortune, The Hanged Man and The Fool: over which loom the terrifying figures of Death and The Devil. The 21 numbered playing cards of tarot have always exerted strong fascination, way beyond their original purpose, and the multiple resonances of the deck are ubiquitous. From T S Eliot and his 'wicked pack of cards' in "The Waste Land" to the psychic divination of Solitaire in Ian Fleming's "Live and Let Die"; and from the satanic novels of Dennis Wheatley to the deck's adoption by New Age practitioners, the cards have in modern times become inseparably connected to the occult. They are now viewed as arguably the foremost medium of prophesying and foretelling. Yet, as the author shows, originally the tarot were used as recreational playing cards by the Italian nobility in the Renaissance. It was only much later, in the 18th and 19th centuries, that the deck became associated with esotericism before evolving finally into a diagnostic tool for mind, body and spirit. This is the first book to explore the remarkably varied ways in which tarot has influenced culture. Tracing the changing patterns of the deck's use, from game to mysterious oracular device, Helen Farley examines tarot's emergence in 15th century Milan and discusses its later associations with astrology, kabbalah and the Age of Aquarius.
