Tarot Magic, Alchemy, Hermeticism, and Neoplatonism, The Second Edition

The Alchemical Tarot is one of the most sought-after modern decks, and first editions have sold for what may be the highest price paid for a modern Tarot. At this time, Place has created six editions of The Alchemical Tarot, and editions of several other tarot decks including his masterpiece, The Tarot of the Sevenfold Mystery, a deck that he worked on for over ten years and that is inspired by the mystical philosophy of the Tarot's Renaissance creators. This book is the companion for both The Alchemical Tarot and The Tarot of the Sevenfold Mystery. It also contains an update of all of the information from Places's critically acclaimed The Tarot: History, Symbolism, and Divination, a book that The American Library Association has said; "maybe the best book ever written on that deck of cards decorated with mysterious images called the Tarot;" and which focuses on the history and meaning of The Tarot of Marseilles and The Waite Smith Tarot. Beyond this, The Tarot, Magic, Alchemy, Hermeticism, and Neoplatonism, as the title suggests, contains a greater amount of additional new material and over 300 illustrations. This important, second edition book is in brand new condition.
