The Tarot of the Bohemians

Papus, A.P. Morton

For centuries, organized religion and the rise of scientific thought had obscured the occult teachings first published in 1889 as Le Tarot des Behemiens: Le Plus Ancien Livre du Monde by the French writer known as “Papus”, describes and consolidates these teachings. The author states that the wisdom of the Kabbalah, the Freemasons and the ancient Egyptians had been kept alive by the Tarot of these nomadic gypsies, and traces the influence of these teachings on this form of divination, allowing the reader to develop a practical understanding of the Tarot in a broader context. Each card of both the Minor and Major Arvana is introduced in turn, together with a key to their use in interpretation.

Illustrated with line drawings, prints and diagrams, this fascinating book is, as “Papus” states, ‘the absolute key to occult science’.
