Oliver St John

Magical Theurgy - Rituals of the Tarot Oliver St John

Here is a complete course in Hermetic Magick, covering the extended use of elemental mudras or Godforms, meditation and Tantra-yoga, plus examples of simple and advanced magical rituals. The book also includes a complete guide on how to make and charge magical talismans, with illustrations of the Kameas or Magic Squares and sigils of the planetary spirits. When approached in the right way, divination is a magical means of opening and extending lines of communication between the temporal and eternal worlds. The most important function of the Tarot, however, is as an initiatory device. The core of this book is the Grand Tarot Operation, a 30-day Theurgic operation aimed at mystical and magical initiation. Format: 6x9 Hardbound; dustjacket; blue linen boards; gold foil stamp lettering on spine; black on cream pages, textured white end-papers.
