The Thoth Tarot, Astrology, & Other Selected Writings


Phyllis Seckler - 2010
    8vo. xviii + 390pp. Blue cloth with silver title etc. to spine. Frontis portrait, Index. Edition limited to 777 numbered copies. Phyllis Seckler (1917-2004) was introduced to the teachings of Aleister Crowley in the late 1930s and became a regular participant in the activities of Agape Lodge of the Ordo Templi Orientis in California, and rose to become a Ninth Degree member of the "Sovereign Sanctuary of the Gnosis." She was admitted to the A∴A∴, eventually taking the "magical name" Soror Meral and was later confirmed as an Adeptus Minor by Crowley's successor, Karl Germer. Seckler was a key figure in the reinauguration of the O.T.O. in 1969, and a few years later she founded the College of Thelema, with the intention that it would provide background training for aspirants to the A∴A∴ Although not as widely known as some of her contemporaries, Seckler played a crucial role in the history of Thelema, not only through her efforts to explore and revive Crowley's creed, but also by training a new generation of its students.This book is edited by three of Phyllis Seckler's former students: Rorac Johnson, Gregory Peters & David Shoemaker, and includes a biographical sketch of Phyllis Seckler drawn from her own writings, and 2 of her most important essays: "The Tarot Trumps of Thoth and Psychology" - a detailed analysis of the psychological and magical symbolism of the Trumps of the Thoth deck - and "Thoth Tarot and Astrology," a study of astrology and the natal chart, with special reference to the cards of the Thoth deck. Both presented for the first time in book form, accompanied by redrawn and corrected diagrams. Also contains a selection of important correspondence between Seckler, Aleister Crowley, Karl Germer and Jane Wolfe. These are followed by a transcript of the last major interview conducted with Phyllis Seckler, in which she recounted the details of her introduction to Thelema and involvement with the old Agapé Lodge, her subsequent participation in various Thelemic organizations, and her thoughts on developments within the Thelemic world.

Explaining The Tarot: Two Italian Renaissance Essays On The Meaning Of The Tarot Pack


Ross Caldwell - 2010
    In this volume, two Italian authors of the 16th century, one known, the other anonymous, interpret the meaning of the Tarot trumps and the suit cards from a variety of interesting perspectives. Drawing from philosophy, religion, poetry, contemporary science, and the rules of the game itself, while at the same time offering examples from history and current events, the authors describe a series of images that for them is more than a game. They find that the symbolism of the cards, and their order, offer moral lessons and a wholesome guide to the ultimate purpose of life, which is to seek God. Their two discourses on the symbolism of the Tarot cards, here edited and translated into English for the first time, are the earliest ever written, and offer a rare glimpse into the other side of the game of Tarot in its first centuries – the meanings people saw in the pictures on the cards.Two Italian authors of the 16th century interpret the symbolism of the tarot deck. These texts are translated here for the first time.Deux auteurs italiens du 16e siècle interprètent le symbolisme du jeu de tarot. Ces textes sont ici traduits en anglais pour la première fois.
