Far more than a fortune telling device, the Tarot is also a profound and powerful system of High Renaissance magic.

Here is unfolded the fascinating history and development of the Tarot, from its fifteenth-century beginnings as a conjunct to the playing cards to the massive explosion of its popularity as a system of occult symbolism. Gareth Knight presents his analysis of the basic archetypal principle behind each card and gives practical examples of magical work with the Tarot images in pathworkings and rituals. Several different approaches are adopted which can be used to develop familiarity and skill with the Tarot system, including both Greater and Lesser Arcana.

Originally published in 1986 as The Treasure House of Images, and later re-issued in the USA asTarot & Magic, this new, expanded edition includes an extra six chapters, pulling together many of the new insights garnered over the 25 years since it was first published.
