Book Synopsis Absolute Key to Occult Science by : Papus
Download or read book Absolute Key to Occult Science written by Papus and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS is a book that professes to be an absolute key to occult science. It proves to be an account of the Tarot pack of cards, which is thought by Papus-apparently a French theosophist who disguises himself under this pseudonym-to be the most ancient book in the world. Although woodcuts of the picturecards are given, together with other weird-looking diagrams and symbols, the explanation of the mysterious qualities of the Tarot is itself a mystery to the reader, the reason ." that this book is intended for the "exclusive use of Initiates." A little knowledge of the terms of occult science is required, a trifling and not too accurate acquaintance with some of the ancient philosophers' views of the universe is presupposed, and a parrot-like memory of the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet is indispensable. Besides this the reader must be prepared to handle figures and symbols as Izaak Walton advised his angler to use his wriggling worm, "as if he loved him," else the figures and the symbols will escape his mental clutch in triumph; at the best they have but the substance of a dream. Much ingenuity is shown in the explanation of the greater or major arcana, which are all picture-cards. There are twenty-two. of them, one for each letter of the Hebrew alphabet, according to Papus. Beginning with the Juggler, he explains the design by still deeper symbols, connecting the figure with a so-called "primitive hieroglyphic" and the Kabbalah, under the head of "affinities," and affirming that the position of the figure and the very shape of the hat have philosophical and religious significations. In fact, the intricate meanings attached to each card amount at last to the history of the universe, including creation and the life of man here and hereafter, from a metaphysical point of view, tempered by a sort of spiritualistic and theosophical ecstasy over the things of our work-a-day world. The letters of the Hebrew alphabet glide in amongst these phantasies like irrelevant sprites, and, amongst other absurdities, the letter he loses its vital existence, together with its aspirate, and the well-known origin of the letter aleph being ignored, it is supposed to be made up out of the letter yod four times repeated. Occult mysteries. are said to hang on these comical misrepresentations, and they will have to go in quest of other and less philological places of refuge. By the time the lesser or minor arcana are reached, where common packs of cards, with an extra picture card, are dealt with, the spirit of the Tarot should have entered into the reader, causing a stupefaction that will enable him to take the pranks the numbers play with each other as the most natural thing in the world, or out of it. For instance, a number that "binds" others together, apparently by its own elastic nature, is rewarded by becoming the first of a new set. By virtue of this innate self-transforming power of the fourths and sevenths, the major and minor arcana are united, and the latter are also ... marshaled amongst themselves..... --The Saturday Review of Politics, Literature, Science and Art, Volume

Book excerpt: Papus (Gerard Encausse)'s book originally published in French in 1889 as Le Tarot des Bohemiens: Le plus ancien Livre du monde, was translated into English as The Tarot of the Bohemians: The Absolute Key to Occult Science. Gerard Anaclet Vincent Encausse (July 13, 1865 - 25 October 1916), whose esoteric pseudonym was Papus, was the Spanish-born French physician, hypnotist, and popularizer of occultism, who founded the modern Martinist Order. His nom de plume ""Papus"" means ""physician"" As a young man, Encausse spent a great deal of time at the Bibliotheque Nationale studying the Kabbalah, occult tarot, magic and alchemy, and the writings of Eliphas Levi. He joined the French Theosophical Society shortly after it was founded by Madame Blavatsky in 1884 - 1885, but he resigned soon after joining because he disliked the Society's emphasis on Eastern occultism. Encausse visited Russia three times, in 1901, 1905, and 1906 serving Tsar Nicholas II & Tsarina Alexandra both as physician and occult consultant."

Book Synopsis A Cultural History of Tarot by : Helen Farley
Download or read book A Cultural History of Tarot written by Helen Farley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-22 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enigmatic and richly illustrative tarot deck reveals a host of strange and iconic mages, such as The Tower, The Wheel of Fortune, The Hanged Man and The Fool: over which loom the terrifying figures of Death and The Devil. The 21 numbered playing cards of tarot have always exerted strong fascination, way beyond their original purpose, and the multiple resonances of the deck are ubiquitous. From T S Eliot and his 'wicked pack of cards' in "The Waste Land" to the psychic divination of Solitaire in Ian Fleming's "Live and Let Die"; and from the satanic novels of Dennis Wheatley to the deck's adoption by New Age practitioners, the cards have in modern times become inseparably connected to the occult. They are now viewed as arguably the foremost medium of prophesying and foretelling. Yet, as the author shows, originally the tarot were used as recreational playing cards by the Italian nobility in the Renaissance. It was only much later, in the 18th and 19th centuries, that the deck became associated with esotericism before evolving finally into a diagnostic tool for mind, body and spirit. This is the first book to explore the remarkably varied ways in which tarot has influenced culture. Tracing the changing patterns of the deck's use, from game to mysterious oracular device, Helen Farley examines tarot's emergence in 15th century Milan and discusses its later associations with astrology, kabbalah and the Age of Aquarius.

Forests everywhere, maples and aspens a thousand years old, with their roots under water; magnificent morasses the surface of which is covered, not with reeds and water-lilies, but with gigantic trees, from the dependent branches of which the vivifying waters force fresh roots. Here the swan builds her nest; here too dwell the royal heron, the blind crow, the golden plover, and other man-shunning animals which are rarely if ever seen in more habitable regions.
