I am looking for some books on foundational symbolism of the minor arcana. Elements, suites, numbers. I use agrippa's natural history of magic for elemental information and it's quite helpful. I'm not so much interested in books with card interpretations, let's say I pull "six of wands," I want to look up Symbolism for wands, fire and six to build my own cars interperation. I can always use more information, but I most need a good resource for te number symbolism for the minor arcana.
Now here's the catch. This isn't a complete deal breaker, but I have a thing for old and hardcover books. Agrippa's book II: celestial magic has all the number information I could desire, but doesn't exist in an old 20th century hardcover I can find. I'm especially interested in the old Pythagorean number symbolism, which agrippa deals with. What other great old volumes might be out there with information to build my own card Interperations? Alternatively, are there any newer well researched and good volumes with this information in one place and maybe in a tarot context?
Thanks!
