An exploration of the Tarot’s mystical roots, with a guide to The Tarot of Marseilles, The Waite Smith Tarot, The Alchemical Tarot, and The Tarot of the Sevenfold Mystery.

The Tarot, Magic, Alchemy, Hermeticism, and Neoplatonism Third Edition incorporates the material in Alchemy and the Tarot and The Tarot: History, Symbolism, and Divination but updates the facts and covers a lot more material—about three times as much.

This book has 680 pages and over 302 illustrations. Each chapter starts with a full-page illustration on the left-hand page and the corresponding text on the right-hand page. This is a must-have guide for understanding the history of the tarot.

I have two of the decks that this book refers to, and it is the only comprehensive deck book available. In addition, it is an exhaustively researched window into the mind of famed tarot creator Robert M. Place. He has become one of the foundational thinkers in the Tarot world, and this book is essential reading for understanding many of the elements that have now become common thought in understanding the Tarot.
