The Local second book dealer keeps an eye out for anything Tarot for me on his travels. I have this oddity picked up. It is a Brown covered hardback, it has no title or author- but Press 1957 Published under the Berne Convention
There is no ISBN number. The quality is excellent- printing was not a cheap job.
The first half of the book deals with the 22 Majors, using the illustrations of a Marseille, that I have not seen before- but calls Le Mat -Magus.
The Tarot packs are recommended as three choices
1st choice:The Marseille pack
2nd Choice:The Insight Institute pack
3rd Choice: Waite's Pack
Chapter 23 Deals with Divinatory aspects 0f the Courts and Aces, some interesting Zodiac ruminations, and how to use playing cards.
I am presuming it is a book from one of the Societies or Temple menmber like Golden Dawn- but I am not sure.
Whoever wrote the book and went to great expense to have it printed, seems to think there is a Templar connection to Tarot. I am interested in this statement as well.
Whatever may have been the inner reasons for the dissolution of the Order, it is abundantly clear that the Templars were capable of creating creations from Astral Light, which were veiled in the the word TEMOHPAB which is Baphomet reversed. " Templi Omnium Hominum Pacis Abbas" (The Priest of the Temple of Peace for all Men.)
I would like to know if someone knows of the 2nd choice of decks in the list.
The author seems to quote Blavatsky's Secret doctrine/Bible/Koran and various Poets.
Your help would be appreciated. ~Rosanne
