Tarot and Magic – Gareth Knight

A leading figure in contemporary Tarot studies, Gareth Knight reveals within the Tarot a profound and powerful system of magic. He takes the reader beyond the basics of divination and shows how the Tarot provides a meditative key to the expansion of one’s consciousness. His insightful analysis of the archetypal principles behind each card is augmented by methods of magical practice. These techniques combine the imagery of the Tarot with an inner journey along the paths of the Qabalistic Tree of Life, evoking wisdom and an understanding of the mysteries. Trained in the esoteric school founded by Dion Fortune, Gareth Knight has been actively involved in the Western Magical Tradition for more than thirty years. He leads workshops in the practical and magical aspects of the Tarot and has designed and published a deck of Tarot cards. He is the author of several major works on the symbolism of the Qabalistic paths as well as the history and practical techniques of White Magic, including the highly regarded Practical Guide to Qabalistic Symbolism.
