  Synopsis Details Reviews  
Here is unfolded the fascinating history and development of the Tarot, from its fifteenth-century beginnings as a conjunct to the playing cards newly imported from Egypt and Persia, to the massive explosion of its popularity as a system of occult symbolism. Gareth Knight presents his analysis of the basic archetypal principle behind each card and gives practical examples of magical work with the Tarot images in pathworkings and rituals, much of which is open to be used and developed further. Originally published in 1986 as The Treasure House of Images, and later re-issued in the USA as Tarot & Magic, this new, revised and expanded edition includes a substantial additional section, pulling together many new insights.
