The Tarot: A Key to the Wisdom of the Ages Hardcover – Import, 1 December 1995

Edges worn. Seems like old book. Print seems pirated like you get at churchgate . If you are charging 800 for the book .. I would have expected better print and quality. Felt should have got the pirated version at 200.

It is clear a liquid was spilled on this book, it actually has mold growing on it and it smells terrible. Very disappointed as I was looking forward to a copy of this book.

corresponde a introduccion al tarot, pero al parecer trae un poco mas de inforecomendado para el estudiante serio

I agree with the comments of the other buyers. A very insightful book that brings you a step further. It's a point of reference for the tarot student.

The writings on each key weren't wildly long, perhaps 7 to 10 pages on average. Paul Foster Case is very concise on this writing however and had a great deal of insight to offer, particularly along the lines of explaining the Sephir Yetzirah connections, the row and column relations of the tableau, and offering additional reading suggestions in the right places (such as Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali with respect to Key 17: the star).Like a lot of people I find myself researching occult literature these days not to divine or learn ceremonial magick but really to try and understand our connection with God and get a feel for where the boundaries are between specifically new age metaphysics vs. more universal and less sectarian substructures that apply with equal merit to the more traditional orthodox exoteric world. Paul Foster Case worked under the commission of Compte De St. Germain for bringing in the Age of Aquarius, something most of Christendom would put firmly in the category of a spiritual warfare issue. By the same token when I read many people's writings such as Case I find myself looking at people who cared, by most people's standards almost too much, about the issues and went to the ends they did to find answers.My overall understanding of the tarot keys at this point is that they're an explanation of working relationship between conscious, subconscious, superconscious, and the steps of progress by which one steps through from being nominal in their spirituality to having it in full bloom, whether they're working to be an ascended master or whether they're looking to be the next John of the Cross or Theresa of Avila. Admittedly, while the space cube was an interesting application of the Sefir Yetzirah I didn't see a particularly strong concordance between the cards spatially, save in a few instances, in the manner that was evident in the three row tableau but then again I'll admit that my goal was really to gain familiarity with the concepts and narratives rather than stare at the tarot for years.Overall this was the most concise and detailed tarot to alchemy book that I've read so far, he's also the first of a few authors I've read not to speak of key 18: the moon as a reductive materialism warning. Definitely a book worth reading for those who are curious to gain an entry level understanding of what the major 22 trump mean.

By Paul Foster Case, founder of the Builders of the Adytum, the best, long-standing Tarot School in the world.I found that this book offered lots of information yet didn't explain that information very well! This is because this book is an edited version of P.F. Case's 'Tarot Card Meanings: Fundamentals'.I recommended getting 'Tarot Card Meanings: Fundamentals' and using 'Wisdom of The Ages' as a quick reference guide instead!I highly recommend reading these books if you are interested in learning from an author who presents the original and true card meanings and symbolism in a fulfilling and easy to understanding way. Not for the foolish!Fully Detailed Books By Paul Foster Case:--Tarot Card Meanings: Fundamentals-Tarot Card Meanings: Interpretations-Wisdom of Tarot (Golden Dawn Series 1)-Tarot Revelations (Golden Dawn Series 2)
