- Shop more books in the same category: All Books, Health & Wellbeing
The Qabalistic Tarot is the most complete and original work on Tarot symbolism available today. It is both a textbook and a sourcebook for the symbols of the Western Hermetic Qabalah, a corpus of mystical ideas which have, for centuries, exerted a powerful influence on the development of Western thought. Dr Wang explains the Tarot as an externalisation of a mystical system which has evolved from approximately the third century A.D. to our own time. He traces the development of Qabalistc ideas from the Neo-Platonic through the Medieval, Renaissance and Modern periods, and systematically discusses each Sephira and Path on the Tree of Life. He uses the Tarot images as a point of visual reference, and provides a thorough explanation of the symbolic intricacies of the Paths. The Qabalistic Tarot is recommended as a comprehensive textbook for individual study or for the classroom. The first and only work based on the four major decks in use today, this is the ideal companion book for the Golden Dawn Tarot, the Thoth Tarot, the Rider-Waite Tarot, or the traditional Marseilles Tarot Deck.
