Reissued in recognition of its historical and artistic importance, the details and symbols in each card of the Hermetic Tarot deck reveal many of the esoteric workings of the Secret Order of the Golden Dawn, which flourished around the turn of the century.
Godfrey Dowson’s subtle black and white designs emphasize the Golden Dawn’s astrological attributes with further sephirotic, angelic, geomantic, numerical, and kabbalistic elements. All 78 cards feature an exquisite level of detail that highlights the powerful symbolism.
The 70-page instruction booklet written by Godfrey Dowson and Stuart R. Kaplan includes card meanings, instructions for the classic ten-card Celtic Cross layout, a chart of the elemental and astrological symbols, and a diagram of the ten spheres and 22 Hebrew Letters of the 22 Paths of the Tree of Life.
