The Qabalistic Tarot is both a textbook and a sourcebook for the symbols of the Western Hermetic Qabalah, a corpus of mystical ideas which have, for centuries, exerted a powerful influence on the development of Western thought. Dr. Wang explains the Tarot as an externalization of the mystical system which has evolved from approximately the third century A. D. to our own time. He traces the development of Qabalistic ideas from the Neo-Platonic through the Medieval, Renaissance and Modern periods, and systematically discusses each Sephira and Path on the Tree of Life. He uses the Tarot images as a point of visual reference, and provides a thorough explanation of the symbolic intricacies of the Paths. The Qabalistic Tarot is recommended as a comprehensive textbook for individual study or for the classroom. Based on three of the most popular Tarot decks available today, Aleister Crowley and Lady Frieda Harris's Thoth Tarot, A. E. Waite and Pamela Coleman Smith's Rider-Waite deck, the oldest complete deck: the Marseilles Tarot, and his own version of the Golden Dawn Tarot.
