The First Occult Tarot Book by Robert M. Place
£19.99
The First Occult Tarot as Envisioned by Louis-Raphaël-Lucrèce de Fayolle, comte de Mellet, in 1781
Before Aleister Crowley, before Arthur Edward Waite and Pamela Colman Smith, before the Golden Dawn, before Papus, Éliphas Lévi, and Etteilla, the first author to describe an occult version of the Tarot was Louis-Raphaël-Lucrèce de Fayolle, comte de Mellet, writing in Antoine Court de Gébelin’s, 1781, eighth volume of his monumental encyclopedia, Monde primitif.
The comte de Mellet associated the Tarot’s trumps with the Classical Ages of Man: the Age of Gold, the Age of Silver, and the Age of Iron. He correlated the Trumps with the letters in the Hebrew alphabet, he described the minor suits in detail, and he provided the earliest discussion of a divination technique for the Tarot.
The Tarot : History Symbolism & Divination by Robert Place
£12.99
THE TAROT is one of the few books that cuts through conventional misperceptions to explore the tarot deck as it really developed in the Middle Ages and Renaissance Europe - not as some would suggest the antiquities of Ancient Egypt. Mining the Hermetic alchemical and Neoplatonic influences behind the evolution of the deck author Robert M. Place provides an historically grounded and compelling portrait of the Tarot's true origins without overlooking the deck's mystical dimensions. Indeed Place uncommonly weds reliable historiography with a practical understanding of the intuitive help and divinatory guidance that the cards can bring. He presents techniques that offer new and valuable ways to read and interpret the cards. Based on a simple 3-card spread Place's approach can be used by either the seasoned practitioner or the beginner.
