Forbidden Knowledge: Contrasting the Tarot of Crowley & Waite, vol. I

True - there's lots of Tarot books.  So why get Forbidden Knowledge.vol. I?  It provides what's still missing from Tarot's opus - the vital part - its foundation.            Every aspect of the Major Arcana's been analyzed.  What remains hidden is the foundation it rests upon. Absolutely every aspect is shaped by that foundation.  Ignore that and Tarot easily becomes a mass of conflicting data lacking coherence.
 Connect its foundation and Tarot becomes our planet's most insightful spiritual growth tool. Today, practically every modern Tarot deck was inspired by either Crowley or Waite.  Both had very different viewpoints.  Neither invented their stance. Instead each championed one of the 2 major contrasting magical perspectives in Western culture.  Why's that relevant?Their contrasting viewpoints form not just their decks foundations but the foundation of every deck they inspired.  Those differences further impact every aspect on every card.
They determine how your cards view the world, view you, and the style of advice they offer. Think that's an understanding worth having - be you student, spiritual advice seeker, or professional reader?  I do. Others avoid it. With my 50+ years living, reading and teaching Tarot I realized that without a firm grasp on perspective, the other aspects twist into an arcane jumble.  Focusing on aspects, while ignoring perspectives, puts the cart before the horse. I put the horse first.
 Besides, without a vantage point interpretation becomes a guessing game. Once you see how a deck comprises a coherent system, you won't need to memorize meanings. You'll see how they're created. I invite you to open a new door on Tarot - one that was closed.  This eBook, with full color illustrations & a selected bibliography is that door.  Open it & enhance your respect for these remarkable tools.
