Historical and critical essay on Hermetic philosophy. Paris Hachette and co. 420 pages. Louis Figuier has written a work of undeniable interest and very likely to give anyone who wishes a fairly accurate idea of traditional alchemy. These are Alchemy and the Alchemists, .........Eugène Canseliet, in: New various studies on the alchemical discipline and the hermetic sacred. ‎

Despite the deep discredit into which it has fallen since the end of the last century, alchemy has not lost the privilege of awakening curiosity and seducing the imagination. The mystery that envelops him, the wonder that is attributed to his doctrines, the fantastic reputation that attaches to the memory of his followers, all this half-veiled ensemble of realities and illusions, truths and chimeras , still exerts a singular prestige on certain minds.

THE FIRST PART is devoted to a summary presentation of the opinions and doctrines professed by the Hermetic philosophers. — THE SECOND PART is a historical study in which we establish the role that alchemy played in the society of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, a time when it exercised the greatest influence over minds. — THE THIRD PART, entitled History of the principal metallic transmutations, is a summary of the strange events which have maintained for so long the belief in the doctrines of transmutatory science. — THE LAST PART, Alchemy in the Nineteenth Century, will demonstrate that alchemical opinions are still not completely abandoned, and that they can still be current.

Masterfully written by Louis Figuier, this work aims to draw attention to this period, as curious as it is ignored, in the science of past times.

RARE Aleister Crowley Thoth Tarot Deck (1978)

The famous "Thoth Tarot" created by Aleister Crowley and illustrated by Lady Frieda Harris, is one of the best-selling tarots in the world. While Lady Harris finished work on the original paintings in the 1940s, the illustrations were not available in actual "card form" until the 1960s. Over the years, the Thoth Tarot became a legend, and the few copies of the early editions are scarce.

This is a scarce second edition of the large format cards, copyrighted and printed in 1978 . The deck was published by U. S. Games Systems and printed in Belgium. The box of this edition is known as "White Box C" by collectors.

The deck is complete with all the cards and comes with the original box and booklet.

The cards are in excellent condition. Cards measure 3.75" x 5.5" (9.5 cm x 14 cm)
The booklet is in good condition, just a little yellowed and stained due to age. 
The box is also slightly yellowed and has only a few marks due to age. 

Out of print edition, a VERY rare find for collectors!

Designed as a bridge between the visible and the invisible, it speaks especially to intuitive readers, artists, and contemplative practitioners. A rare example of contemporary tarot creation rooted in historical aesthetics and inner exploration.
