The Tarot: A Key to the Wisdom of the Ages

By Paul Foster Case, founder of the Builders of the Adytum, the best, long-standing Tarot School in the world. I found that this book offered lots of information yet didn't explain that information very well! This is because this book is an edited version of P.F. Case's 'Tarot Card Meanings: Fundamentals'. I recommended getting 'Tarot Card Meanings: Fundamentals' and using 'Wisdom of The Ages' as a quick reference guide instead! I highly recommend reading these books if you are interested in learning from an author who presents the original and true card meanings and symbolism in a fulfilling and easy to understanding way. Not for the foolish! Fully Detailed Books By Paul Foster Case:- -Tarot Card Meanings: Fundamentals -Tarot Card Meanings: Interpretations -Wisdom of Tarot (Golden Dawn Series 1) -Tarot Revelations (Golden Dawn Series 2)

A very in depth description of the history of tarot and the meanings of each tarot card. It also goes into numbering and colour. It is a classic in its own right and l found it a good read with lots of insight.

This is a very good publication on the Tarot, full of clear and concise information, if you want a book on this subject, buy this one.

This book is a seminal work. It has to be read forwards, then backwards, then tapped into 'at random'. Then you have to read what is not said as much as 'is said'. You will also find magic in the white spaces between the words. If you want some magic in your world, get a copy and treasure it for the keys it holds.

I have expected much more from this book and author; it has some valuable information and some insights, but not deep enough, there are many other hidden and cosmic meanings in the TAROT, which the author didn`t recognise and comment on, maybe on purpose and maybe not... So, 4 stars and this is even a bit more, than it deserves. One has to meditate on the cards; I will give you some hints: it is an egyptian system of initiation, that is encoded in the cards, so think about it very carefully, it is a cosmic message and you`ll have to search for Isis and Osiris, for Death and Resurrection in it. That is all I can say, Regards and good luck to you all!!!

Very good. I’m glad. Lifted a veil.

Really good. An eye opener.

Book received, thank you

A great work for my studies. Arrived very fast. Now i'll have a great pleasure reading and learning with this book.

Breathless paragraphs of dubious correspondences and unprovable assertions. Indecipherable ramble that flows like water around the rock of whichever key, court or minor is being written about, without dampening or clearing our understanding of the rock itself. Utterly useless.

I agree with the comments of the other buyers. A very insightful book that brings you a step further. It's a point of reference for the tarot student.

新品を購入したのに、取り出すと傷ついていた。 ゆっくりな動作だったが、取り出し方が悪かったのか？輸送時に梱包内で起きたことなのか？ 読みたい本だったので、新品に早速補修テープを貼って読み進めている。

One of those books you would willingly skip sleep to finish & be sad when it is over knowing that a read like that only comes far and few in between...The book is striking, poignant, well-written, deeply insightful, and will consume your concentration to digest. It is not a light read on the topic, but it is certainly a good one. If you are looking for something less dense...this is not the title for you...but, at some point, it is absolutely worth a read. I am, personally, a Paul Foster Case die hard fan! As a result of completing this book and reading so much of his other writings. I am a Builder & I enjoy everything about it. There is not anything that he has written, that if handed to me, I would not read. Definitely & always worth your time should you feel drawn to this book!
