Numerology in
Other Books;
Tarot Plain and Simple by Anthony Louis
This book
has a small but excellent little section on the numbers at the back of the
book. Plus number stuff is interspersed throughout the book. The best
beginners book on the tarot in my opinion - even over Joan Bunning's book
- Learning the Tarot - he deals with reversals if for no reason.
Kabbalah and The Tree of Life
The Kabbalah Tree - Rachel
Pollack
Tarot and the Tree of Life - Isabel Radow Kliegman [Drawback -
it only deals with the Minor Arcana and the Tree of Life]
The Mystical
Qabalah - by Dion Fortune [somewhat disorganized in my opinion and I don't
care for how the book is laid out but good none the less]
Thoth Deck
Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thoth Deck - by Lon
Milo DuQuette
I don't care for the deck so the list is very short. I
have The Book of Thoth by Crolwey but I can't recommend the book because
it's real. real, tough reading.
Tarot History/Origins
Mystical Origins of the Tarot - by Paul
Huson [the only book I own on the possible origins of the
tarot]
