Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom draws on mythology and esoteric traditions and delves deeply into the symbolism and ideas of each card. It also gives the cards a modern psychological slant based on the pictures rather than a system of occult symbolism. This endlessly useful reference tool provides a concise history of tarot, introduces common spreads, and is a clear and readable book for both the beginning and advanced tarot student. The two volumes of Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom have inspired a whole generation of tarot students. It has often been described by readers, booksellers, and teachers as the "Bible of tarot readers." It is also often cited as one of the landmark books in modern tarot, and it helped to launch the "Tarot Renaissance" of the 1980s. The two texts-one for The Major Arcana and one for The Minor Arcana--appear together in this volume, which is a reissue of the 1998 edition first published by Thorsons.

Best, by far, to look for the richness of tradition, which is where Aleister Crowley`s Thoth Tarot can be found. Unfortunately, the book Crowley wrote to elucidate the meaning of the cards so brilliantly painted by Lady Freida Harris - The Book of Thoth - requires a patience and supplemental knowledge quite a few readers do not possess. That is where Lon Milo DuQuette`s latest comes in. He looks at the history of not only Crowley, but of Harris, the historical situation surrounding the Thoth deck`s creation, and the myriad magickal components inherent to the deck. And he does it in plain English, with touches of his delightful humor so the door can be thrown wide open for more Tarot enthusiasts to come to an understanding of what Tarot is really about, especially the Thoth deck. The extensive research which went into this volume, as well as DuQuette`s own considerable experience on the subject, make this a text to be valued and read time and again - just as DuQuette himself recommends reading The Book of Thoth on a regular basis. But now, because of DuQuette`s incredible efforts, the latter will be better understood by a broader audience, and the Thoth Tarot more comprehensively used for spiritually enlightening purposes, as it was meant to be. paperback 327 pages. 25.95
