Papus

To the casual observer, they're just a pack of playing cards. But to initiates, the mysterious figures of the Tarot deck symbolize the keys to ancient wisdom. The 78 cards can be employed to unlock the secrets of the universe and to foretell the future — but only by those who comprehend their esoteric truths. A pillar of occult science, The Tarot of the Bohemians provides a theological element to the work begun by Antoine Court de Gébelin, Etteila, and Éliphas Lévi, and advanced by A. E. Waite, the distinguished scholar and designer of the most widely known deck. Geared toward initiates, its topics include an introduction to the study of the Tarot as well as its symbolism and applications. This revised edition includes a Preface by Waite in addition to illustrative plates, charts, and tables.

Absolute Key to Occult Science

The Tarot of the Bohemians

Jusqu’à présent, on ne possédait aucun document sérieux permettant d’élucider la vie d’un des hommes qui ont le plus contribué au développement et à la propagande de l’illuminisme en France, Martines de Pasqually, l’initiateur de Claude de Saint-Martin, dit «le Philosophe inconnu», et le fondateur du rite des Élus Coëns. Représentant de la tradition martiniste, nous avons été mis à même, grâce à notre loge de Lyon, d’étudier des archives miraculeusement sauvées et qui permettent de jeter une lumière décisive sur l’histoire de l’illuminisme en France au XVIIIe siècle et sur les rapports des loges avec la stricte observance du baron de Hundt. Ces archives proviennent d’un homme à peine connu des auteurs spéciaux, J.-B. Willermoz, placé à la tête du mouvement ésotérique à Lyon et qui a joué un rôle des plus importants dans l’histoire du martinisme. Papus analyse ici chacun des documents retrouvés d’un triple triple point de vue : — Au point de vue de la vie de Martines (ses affaires et ses voyages). — Au point de vue de la doctrine du maître et de ses pratiques magiques. — Au point de vue de la réalisation pratique de la Société des Élus cohens. Chacun de ces trois chapitres est précédé d’un avant-propos sur la doctrine martiniste et le caractère de cette société secrète des Élus coëns et de son influence.

The Tarot: A Collection of Secret Wisdom from Tarot's Mystical Origins

Gérard Anaclet Vincent Encausse (1865 - 1916), commonly known by his esoteric pseudonym Papus, was the French hypnotist, physician, and occultist famous for founding the modern Martinist Order. Papus's "Tarot of the Bohemians" represents part of the main literature of 19th and early 20th century 'Tarotism'. Within it, he maintains that the Tarot contains ancient knowledge from ancient Egypt, India and even Atlantis, while also giving basic instruction in cartomancy using the Tarot deck. This volume will furnish the reader with a deep grasp of the inner life of the Tarot deck and is highly recommended for those with an interest in Tarot and cartomancy. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.

The Most Ancient Book in the World for the Use of Initiates

Gerard Encausse (Papus), who founded the modern Martinist Order, was in his day (1865-1916) a skilled populariser of occult thought. Nowhere is this more evident than in his€Tarot of the Bohemians, an extraordinary, comprehensive and profound study of T.S. Eliot's 'wicked pack of cards' that reaches far beyond its mundane use as a fortune-telling device.€ In this highly readable study, as relevant now as the day it was first published, Papus links the Tarot with Kabbalah and astrology, traces an esoteric history of the pack, then embarks on a deep analysis of the symbolism of the cards. He concludes with seven practical lessons on how to use the cards for divination. The book as a whole is a must-read reference for students of the occult and likely to remain so for many years to come.

Reincarnation. Physical, Astral & Spiritual Evolution ... Translated by Marguerite Vallior

By borrowing from Burgoyne and the Continental astrological tradition, Papus produced a work that provides fresh insights to the English speaking astrological tradition. Lehman's introduction places Papus in an historical perspective and explains his influence in late 19th and early 20th century France. In translating this work from the French, she has given English speaking students of astrology and the Western Mystery Tradition an important source work.
