Many cultures have great affinity with the spirits of departed relatives.
While westerners are no longer familiar with ancestor worship, or working with the spirits of the deceased, this was an ancient occult art. This is a brilliant anthology of writings from the secret lore of many ages and countries about one of the most controversial areas of the occult. This deck illustrates tarot principles and esoteric philosophy, and includes noted occultist Knight's own instructions for cartomancy. The kabbalah, argues the author, is far more than an otherworldly, occult way of know-ledge. The co-editors of Gnosis magazine explore the many esoteric traditions that Western culture has to offer.
