Tarot
Symbolism by Robert O'Neill O'Neill presents the thesis that the tarot symbols constitute a profound metaphysical system, even while he examines the historical evidence which debunks the fanciful speculations of the early occultists. The author establishes that the intellectual climate of the Italian Renaissance was highly conducive to creation of an emblematic synthesis of Neoplatonic philosophy and mystical practice. He makes a sound case that the tarot was designed as a cosmograph, a map of the underlying spiritual structure of the universe, which might be used by those seeking enlightenment within the western tradition.
