Le Tarot Divinatoire – Papus | Out-of-Print Tarot & Occult Masterwork

Le Tarot Divinatoire by Papus (Dr. Gérard Encausse) is one of the most influential and foundational works in the history of tarot and Western esotericism. First published in the late 19th century, this classic reference deciphers the symbolic, kabbalistic, and astronomical structure of the Tarot, presenting it as a complete divinatory and initiatory system.

This volume provides the exact meaning and value of each of the 78 Tarot cards, going far beyond simple fortune-telling. Papus explains how the Tarot functions as a universal key, capable of addressing practical questions of daily life as well as deeper spiritual and metaphysical inquiries.

A remarkable feature of this edition is that each of the 78 cards is illustrated within the book and designed to be cut out and mounted on cardboard, allowing the reader to reconstruct a complete Tarot deck directly from the pages—an approach that reflects the pedagogical and initiatory spirit of early occult teachings.

🪶 Collector’s Note

Papus was one of the central figures of French occultism and a key transmitter of Tarot knowledge to the modern era. Le Tarot Divinatoire is not merely a book—it is a cornerstone of esoteric literature that influenced generations of tarot readers, occultists, and symbolic scholars. Long out of print and increasingly difficult to find, this volume represents a rare opportunity to acquire an authentic piece of classical occult wisdom in its original, scholarly form.
