Golden Dawn Magical Tarot

Rate this book
Since its inception over 100 years ago, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn has continued to be the authority on the initiatory and meditative teachings of the Tarot. This Tarot incorporates all of the temple symbolism needed for use in the Golden Dawn rituals. Created at the behest of the renowned occultist and father of the modern Golden Dawn movement Israel Regardie, this stunning deck masterfully blends traditional Tarot imagery with descriptions from the Golden Dawn initiation ceremonies. This is the first Tarot deck to incorporate the symbolism necessary for use in rituals. Written and created by internationally known adepts Chic Cicero and Sandra Tabatha Cicero, this is ideal for the beginning student but equally appealing to expert Tarot readers. The accompanying book provides an introduction to Cabalistic, Zodiacal and Alchemical symbolism creating a powerful tool for divination and spiritual growth. Complete with 256-page book and two versions of the Temperance card--as required in Golden Dawn rituals--this is the best Tarot available for students of the Golden Dawn and the Western magical tradition.

This specially designed tarot pack with accompanying instruction book is not intended for the casual user or for those whose interest in tarot is restricted only to divination. This is a pack specifically intended for use as a ritual tool in magical workings based on the system of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The tarot holds a central place in the symbolic universe of the Golden Dawn, and the cards are used as the basis for meditation, astral projection, and magical rituals, which are all aimed at the spiritual advancement of the practitioner. To be sure, the cards are also used for divination, and instructions for that are given in the manual, but this pack is meant to be engaged with as part of a larger magical education and practice, and you should be aware of that if you're considering acquiring it.

If you do have that interest, then this pack is just what you're looking for. The Ciceros are adepts of the Golden Dawn, and the pack's images were executed by coauthor Sandra Tabatha Cicero in order to support those magical uses. The images are often striking, arresting, and provocative. The universe is a big place, and this pack is a kind of ladder to its highest reaches.

These cards feature very simplistic/cartoon-like/childish artwork; I really couldn't connect with them. They seem redundant with so many more interesting and better drawn decks around. One has to wonder why she bothered?
