A Textbook Of Mystical Philosophy: The Qabalistic Tarot is both a textbook and a valuable sourcebook on the symbols of the Western Hermetic Qabalah, a corpus of mystical ideas, which have, for centuries, exerted a powerful influence on the development of Western thought. Dr. Wang traces the development of Qabalistic ideas throughout history and uses tarot images to explain the symbolic intricacies of the Path. This book can be used as a companion guide to the Golden Dawn Tarot, the Thoth Tarot, Rider-Waite decks or Marseilles style decks. Hailed by reviewers as "a masterpiece," and as "the single most profound reference of its kind," The Qabalistic Tarot has become the standard in its field, a book essential to all students of Tarot symbolism. Review: brilliant book - brilliant book Review: An essential resource - This book had been recommended to me in my search for tarot/Qabalistic reading. I followed up Dion Fortune - The Mystical Qabalah with this book, which is probably the best way to get to grips with the subject. Qabalah is one of those topics where the more you read the more you will keep discovering - and this book is no exception, you will learn a lot from it and it will springboard you onto other levels of reading. Physically, it's a good sturdy hardback with good quality paper, designed for reading. This book is my new go-to reference material for tarot and beyond.

Essential Text
I ordered this as a replacement for the very old and well-worn hardcover edition I had decades ago, and the description was of a paperback. I was happily surprised when a new hardcover arrived at my door. This is one of the essential texts on tarot, and next to The Book Of Thoth, the one that lays out the tarot as a textbook for the universe wonderfully. Wang's a bit dry, but this can be a dry topic, so that is understandable. The four decks used as examples in this book are The Golden Dawn Tarot, Rider Waite Smith, Thoth, and Marseilles. It is helpful to have at least two of these to see what is different and why changes were made.

The book I've been searching for
There are many great books about Qaballa and Tarot but this one pulls so many aspects together in a logical and engaging way. I've learned things from this book about this system that have been so exciting — it's a keeper.
