The Hermetic Tarot

The pursuit of the Great Work requires a mastery of symbolic synthesis. The Hermetic Tarot is a mandatory engine for the practitioner focused on the esoteric mechanics of the Secret Order of the Golden Dawn. Godfrey Dowson’s subtle, high-contrast black and white designs serve as a rigorous map of the Western Esoteric Tradition, meticulously encoding astrological, sephirotic, angelic, and geomantic elements into every card.
 
This deck is engineered for the student who has moved beyond the surface and into the deep structural study of the Qabalah and the 22 Paths of the Tree of Life. Each of the 78 cards is an exquisite focal point for pathworking, designed to reveal the subtle correspondences that govern the astral plane.
 
Included is a 72-page instruction booklet that serves as a foundational manual for the deck. It features an introduction by Stuart R. Kaplan, detailed card meanings, instructions for the classic ten-card Celtic Cross layout, and a comprehensive diagram of the Hebrew Letters and the ten spheres of the Tree of Life.
 
(Cards measure 2.75" x 4.625". Standard English Edition).
