The Magian Tarok

The Magian Tarok The Key Linking the Mithraic, Greek, Roman Hebrew and Runic Traditions with that of the Tarot. This book is the long-awaited follow-up to Hermetic Magic (Weiser 1995). It is a revolutionary text which traces the historical roots of the images used for the Tarot back to their Mithraic and general Iranian backgrounds. This book also explains that there were originally 24 and not 22 Major Arcana, and that the reduction to the number 22 was not based on the Hebrew alphabet, but rather the archaic Latin alphabet as used in oracles. It also provides the key to the possible hidden link between the images of the Tarok and the Germanic Runes. Large format.
