The Tarot of the Bohemians

Did you know that much of the groundwork for today's occult tarot lore was already well established by the late 1700s, and that the part that became most popular during the subsequent century was, of course, fortune-telling? Before the more elaborate myths and esoteric systems that we are are familiar with today could become popular, however, the tarot went through many incarnations. This volume explores the ancient doctrines, philosophies and evolution of the occult tarot.
