Introduction to the Study of the Tarot

In 1989, Oswald Wirth, a Swiss occultist and leading figure in the Occult Revival, published a limited edition of tarot designs, called Le Livre de Thot. Since then Wirth has become a central figure in Tarot history and his designs, based on an extensive knowledge of occult symbolism, have become widely acknowledged as being among the best every produced. In this book, Wirth offers a basic primer for anyone interested in pursuing the esoteric implications of Tarot symbolism and in using the Tarot as a means of divination.
