Meditations On the Tarot

Drawing on the rich theological and mystical resources of Christianity, including its oft-neglected esoteric streams, as well other religious and sapiential traditions past and present, Meditations on the Tarot glows with the radiance of contemplation enriched by the sacramental life found in the Corpus mysticum. The anonymous author’s insights breathe life into the full reach of Christian vision by means of 22 Letters addressed to “Unknown Friends”—evocations inspired by the imagery of the Major Arcana of the Tarot considered analogically, on the Hermetic model of “as above, so below.” Published now with an extended table of contents, translations of supplementary material from earlier editions, an addendum of recently discovered early notes, and an exhaustive index, the Angelico Press edition of this spiritual classic, which has drawn boundless praise, is a priceless gift for today’s spiritual seekers.
