This item information is updated daily and is available now to order.
The Philosophy of Occultism in Pictures and Numbers - An Outstanding book for individuals serious about learning tarot - A Long-Lost Classic Resurrected - Your Very Own Major Arcana Reproduced Actual Size and in Full Color
P. D. Ouspensky
from the editor:
No study of occult philosophy is possible without an acquaintance with symbolism, for if the words occultism and symbolism are used correctly, they mean one and the same thing. Symbolisim cannot be learned as one learns to build bridges or speak a foreign language, for the interpretation of symbols a special type of mind is necessary; in addition to knowledge, special faculties, the power of creative thought and a developed imagination, are required.
The Symbolism of the Tarot was first published in 1913 as a means for explaining the intricacies of the Tarot-one of the most synthetic and interesting methods for developing the "sense of symbols" in those who are striving to understand the hidden forces of nature and man, and for teaching the fundamental principles and elements of the esoteric language, otherwise known as the "language of the Initiates."
Ouspensky was clearly ahead of his time, for he believed that the Tarot may be used for both specific teachings and as an apparatus, a machine which we may use to build anything, even a new universe. He believed that the fact that we question the Tarot as to whether it is a method or doctrine shows the limitation of our "three dimensional mind," which in many ways is unable to rise above the world of form and contra-positions or to free itself from thesis and antithesis. The Tarot contains and expresses any doctrine to be found in our consciousness, and in this sense it has definiteness. It represents nature in all the richness of its infinite possibilities, and there is in it, as in nature, not one but all potential meanings. And these meanings are fluent and ever-changing, so the Tarot cannot be labeled as specifically this or that, for it ever moves and is yet ever the same.
