The record
Lon Milo DuQuette has done his usual masterful job of presenting high esoteric material in a manner that can be oh so easily understood. Tarot of Ceremonial Magick is the companion book to Mr. DuQuette's Tarot of Ceremonial Magick deck. In it he expounds on the synthesis of what he terms the three great pillars of magick: Astrology, Enochian Magick and Goetia. This information, once assimilated, can be used to understand any other deck that incorporates it also. DuQuette describes the Tarot as a living mandalla - a pictorial breakdown of the mechanics of creation. In the Tarot he sees a visual representation of it's Qabalistic foundations. In learning to understand the Tarot we come to understand other Qabalistic based systems. DuQuette sees the Tarot as a wheel, with each card having it's own place upon that wheel. There is a very interesting, easy to follow section acting as an introduction to Qabala that covers the four worlds, the ten Sephiroth and the thirty-two paths. The schematics are easy to follow and give a step by step understanding of the structure of the tree of life. DuQuette's section on the Major Arcana provides several correspondences for each card: Hebrew Letter
