The Western Mysteries Revealed, Vol. 2

Esoteric Tarot, Volume 2 of The Western Mysteries Revealed, is a groundbreaking exploration of the Major Arcana of the Tarot System-Tarot Keys 0 to 21. Building upon the foundation presented in Volume 1, Kabbalah Unveiled, Esoteric Tarot unfolds as never before the many dimensions of the Tarot. Penetrating beyond common divinatory interpretations, the author returns to the original purpose of the Tarot System as a pictorial repository of spiritual and esoteric knowledge and a tool for spiritual and psychological transformation.

The book begins with a comprehensive introduction to the Tarot System, explaining its history and general structure along with the various layers of symbolism, attributes and interpretation which are inherent in each Key. The reader is given detailed guidance facilitating the practical application of the Tarot for personal and spiritual transformation.

The following chapters explore each Key in great depth and detail, with some chapters devoted to various groupings of Keys, revealing the subtle inner structure of the Tarot System. The many practical workings encourage the reader to look beyond the Tarot as a source of knowledge to its profound transformative power.

Of large format and generously illustrated on fine art paper, Esoteric Tarot is as much a visual experience as a literary one. As colour is of central importance to the Tarot symbolism, careful attention has been given to faithful colour reproduction.

Esoteric Tarot is a major contribution to the Tarot literature and a must read for anyone with a serious interest in Tarot and the Western Mysteries. On a psychological level alone, the work is a revelation, even before one plumbs the depths of Ancient Wisdom and Spiritual Inspiration embodied in the Tarot Keys.
