About this book

Tarot cards become a language of spiritual symbols in this 1918 volume published under L. W. De Laurence's name. Its three parts consider the cards' history, interpret the Greater Arcana, and turn to methods of divination. The opening challenges earlier occult accounts and distinguishes the study of symbolism from ordinary fortune-telling. A reader encounters both an argument about hidden meanings and a handbook organized around the cards themselves.

The interpretations connect pictured objects and gestures with moral and spiritual ideas. In the discussion of the Tower, for example, the writer weighs explanations involving pride, false doctrine, and intellectual collapse rather than settling for a description of disaster. Sections on the four suits and several arrangements for reading cards supply a practical counterpart.
