    <![CDATA[Now in a fully corrected edition, one of the true spiritual classics of the twentieth century. <br/><br/> Published for the first time with an index and Cardinal Hans Urs von Balthasar's afterword, this new English publication of <em>Meditations on the Tarot</em> is the landmark edition of one of the most important works of esoteric Christ-ianity. Written anonymously and published posthumously, as was the author's wish, the intention of this work is for the reader to find a relationship with the author in the spiritual dimensions of existence. The author wanted not to be thought of as a personality who lived from 1900 to 1973, but as a friend who is communicating with us from beyond the boundaries of ordinary life.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is not about fortune-telling; the symbols from the Tarot are used as the starting points for a series of spiritual exercises intended to immerse the reader in the living tradition of Christian Hermeticism. Absorbing the knowlege in this book is a lifelong project.]]></body>
