be reprinted sometime at the end of this year, 2001). Hundreds of
illustrated decks, much history, must-have bibliography.
Waite, A.E. Pictorial Key to the Tarot . Many editions, focuses on
Rider/Waite/Smith. Turgid; essential; worth it.
Crowley, Aleister (The Master Therion). The Book of Thoth. NY: US
Games. OTO imprimatur; companion to the Thoth/Harris deck; gateway to
Thelema/Magick and uncle Al's brilliant/dense style.
Wang, Robert. Qabalistic Tarot. York Beach: Weiser. Tree of Life
platform; compares 4 decks: Waite, Golden Dawn, Thoth, Marseilles. Good
graphics, charts, indexed.
Regardie, Israel The Golden Dawn. St. Paul: Llewellyn. Contains Book
T, their take following Rosicrucian doctrine via Mathers and Westcott;
order history; initiation rituals up to Adeptus Minor; for 6=5 and 7=4
see Pat Zalewski's rather terse transcription from Falcon Press.
Anonymous. Meditations on the Tarot. Amity, NY: Amity House. A
Martinist/Christian Hermetics tract well worth several re-reads.
Dummett, Michael. The Visconti-Sforza Tarot Cards . NY: Braziller.
Scholarly, non-occult.
Moakley, Gertrude. The Tarot Cards Painted by Bonifacio Bembo… NY:
NY Public Library. Documents the Pierpont/Morgan/Bergamo deck(s).
Genuine scholarship for the love of truth; pester Stuart for a reprint.
Case, Paul Foster. The Tarot . Richmond: Macoy. BOTA; Waite-derived;
Christian spin.
Papus (Gerard Encausse). The Tarot of the Bohemians . Hollywood:
Wilshire. Somewhat fractured Etteilla, but essential, since original
Etteilla's are manuscripts in rare book collections; NY Public Library
has some, so does the Morgan Library; check around the LeHavre
depositories.
Hoeller, Stephan A. The Royal Road. Wheaton: Quest. Theosophical
following Waite.
Raine, Kathleen. Yeats, the Tarot, and the Golden Dawn . Dublin:
Dolmen. Describes Yeats' personal Eduardo Dotti ca. 1867 deck; also
George's; and some unique Golden Dawn perspective.

The Piers Anthony books are a fun read. I would question how much a
complete novice would get from them (as applicable to tarot). I can't
say as I'd been reading tarot for over ten years when I read the
trilogy.
I would suggest that if a new reader plans to start with the trilogy,
you save the books and later on, after you've learned a bit about the
more prominant characters (as Wait and Crowley) in the field....you go
back and read the trilogy again. You will find many nuances in the
script that will be mostly lost on you at the beginning of tarot
studies.
<giggle> One might even find a very comical comparison to the little
'mud fight' in the books to things that go on here, at times. PS. Mud
is a metaphor.
