Download or read book Egyptian Tarot of Thelema written by Oliver St. John and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In every true act of divination, in every true act of magick, something of the soul is born into the world. This book focuses on the structure of the Tarot and the system of Qabalistic correspondences that transform it from a card game or fortune telling device into a spiritual, intellectual and magical vehicle of the highest order. The major arcana cards each have a chapter to describe them; a complete method of divination is provided. Unique to the Egyptian Tarot of Thelema is the use of British surrealist artist and occultist Ithell Colquhoun's interpretation of the magical correspondences. This enabled us to produce the first figurative Tarot that is fully colour-integrated as according to the schema of the Golden Dawn. The book features 78 full colour illustrations of the Tarot. This Special Edition comes in linen wrap (hardbound), with gold folio stamp on the spine.

Download or read book The Egyptian Tarot written by Bernd A. Mertz and published by Authorhouse UK. This book was released on 2011-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bernd A. Mertz made various trips to Egypt after he had begun to specialize in astrology and to work on its important links to modern psychology. He tells us himself why he was so fascinated that he wished to create an 'Egyptian Tarot' for our times. During his extensive reading he discovered that in the Paris of 1781 the occultist Court de Gebelin had attracted great attention in esoteric circles by asking: 'Imagine the surprise which might occur if an Egyptian book were to be discovered today, a book from ancient Egypt which might have been spared from the flames in the burning of the famous libraries and which were to contain the deep and clearest knowledge. Would I not surprise you very much if I were to assert that this book had in fact never been lost at any time past and that it has been in the hands of, so to speak, everyone in most parts of Europe? The most astonishing thing would be if one were assured that no-one ever suspected that it was Egyptian. The fact is: this Egyptian work is the only one to have survived to the present day after all the treasures and all the knowledge of the Egyptian libraries had been lost. It has become so popular that no wise person has ever taken the trouble to think about its origin. No-one has done so apart from me.. It is the Tarot." Bernd A. Mertz decided to issue his own edition of this tarot with his commentary. Michael Lacey and Rick Leaman resolved to provide a new edition to a wider public in the English language with a website offer as a challenge for those interested to take more control over their lives.

Download or read book Overthrowing the Old Gods written by Don Webb and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-11-02 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New commentaries on Aleister Crowley’s Book of the Law reveal how it is connected to both Right- and Left-Hand Paths • Examines each line of the Book of the Law in the light of modern psychology, Egyptology, Gurdjieff’s teachings, and contemporary Left-Hand Path thought • Explores Crowley’s identification with the First Beast of Revelations as well as his adoption of the Loki archetype for becoming a vessel of love for all humanity • Recasts the Cairo Working as a text of personal sovereignty and a relevant tool for personal transformation • Includes commentary on the Book of the Law by Dr. Michael A. Aquino, who served as High Priest of the Temple of Set from 1975 to 1996 Received by Aleister Crowley in April 1904 in Cairo, Egypt, the Book of the Law is the most provocative record of magical working in several hundred years, affecting not only organizations directly associated with Crowley such as the Ordo Templi Orientis but also modern Wicca, Chaos Magic, and the Temple of Set. Boldly defying Crowley’s warning not to comment on the Book of the Law, Ipsissimus Don Webb provides in-depth interpretation from both Black and White Magical perspectives, including commentary from Dr. Michael A. Aquino, who served as High Priest of the Temple of Set from 1975 to 1996. Webb examines each line of the Book in the light of modern psychology, Egyptology, existentialism, and competing occult systems such as the teachings of G. I. Gurdjieff and contemporary Left-Hand Path thought. Discarding the common image of Crowley formulated in a spiritually unsophisticated time when the devotee of the Left-Hand Path was dismissed as a selfish evil doer, Webb unveils a new side of Crowley based on his adoption of the Loki archetype and his aim to become a vessel of love for all humanity. In so doing, he shows how the Book of the Law is connected to both Right- and Left-Hand Paths and reveals how Crowley’s magical path of mastery over the self and Cosmos overthrew the gods of old religion, which had kept humanity asleep to dream the nightmare of history. Providing in-depth analysis of Crowley’s sources and his self-identification with the First Beast of Revelation from a profound esoteric perspective, Webb takes his views out of the Golden Dawn matrix within which he received the Book of the Law and radically recasts the Cairo Working as a text of personal sovereignty and a relevant tool for personal transformation.
