Publisher's Synopsis
The Tarot And The Key Of Solomon is a book written by S. L. MacGregor Mathers, a prominent occultist and one of the founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The book explores the relationship between the Tarot, a deck of cards used for divination, and the Key of Solomon, a medieval grimoire or book of magic.Mathers delves into the symbolism and meanings of the Tarot cards, drawing on his extensive knowledge of esoteric traditions such as Kabbalah and alchemy. He also examines the Key of Solomon, which contains instructions for summoning and commanding spirits, and shows how the two systems can be used together to enhance one's understanding of both.The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of the Tarot and its history, as well as an introduction to the Key of Solomon and its magical practices.
