Volume One compares Western Occultism with the Eastern systems of yoga, examines the Tree of Life in detail and describes the practical application, along with the theory, of Qabalistic symbolism in the Western Esoteric Tradition. Volume Two provides the most encompassing analysis ever published of the twenty-two "Paths of Concealed Glory" that join the Tree of Life taking into account Hebrew letters, Astrological signs and Tarot trumps. A large section focuses solely on the Tarot, tracing the history of Tarot design and the various systems of correspondences with the Tree of Life. It sheds new light on the overlooked Lesser Arcana and the little understood function of the Tarot Aces and the sixteen Court Cards. Seventh printing of the Samuel Weiser one-volume edition.
