Tarot of the Holy Light is a European Esoteric Tarot. There is a small "Little White Book" inside the deck but the main instruction comes from the very large paperback guidebook, which is its own volume. Teachings from the ancient grimoires, the Seals of Solomon, the Sefer Yetzira, Paracelsus, Agrippa, and Jacob Boehme are collated with the root principles of astrological alchemy to demonstrate Tarot’s usefulness as an esoteric calculator for the Renaissance and thereafter.
Ten pages of occult illustrations and an appendix of esoteric graphs help the interested reader visualize the conceptual framework embedded in the cards. The bulk of the book comprises 78 illustrated essays illustrating how these technical underpinnings inform the divinatory meanings that practitioners have been relying on since at least the time of Etteilla (1790).
The book can also be used as an operative manual to support any pack of Tarot constructed in the Continental style, following the Marseille numbering of the Trumps.
Book: 5.2 wide x 7 tall, 496 pages, black & white soft bound.
Tarot deck: standard size in a two-part rigid box
