CS06 The Sacred Tarot: The Art of Card Reading and the Underlying Spiritual Science

by C.C. Zain

This is the sixth book in the 21 Brotherhood of Light Course series by C. C. Zain on the Hermetic Sciences, Astrology, Alchemy, Tarot, Kabbalah and the Occult. The Sacred Tarot is a favorite of metaphysics students everywhere and companion to The Brotherhood of Light Egyptian Tarot Cards. This timeless volume draws comparisons between the Tarot and Kabbalah, Astrology, Alchemy, Magic, Numerology, Mystery School Initiation, Biblical references, and Freemasonry. This profusely illustrated book is indexed and contains descriptions for twelve different tarot spreads. Also included is a table of correspondences which draws correlations between the tarot arcanum and herbs, gems, minerals, the Hebrew, Egyptian, and Roman alphabets, numbers, and astrological symbols. With this book, the student may readily determine the astrological correspondence of any number, name, color, gem or other object. This book may be used with any tarot deck including the popular Rider-Waite deck. The concepts presented, however, demonstrate the advantages to the tarot reader, and student of the occult, of using the The Brotherhood of Light Egyptian Tarot Cards.

This book is a very in depth look into understanding the Tarot. While C.C. Zain does cover many aspects of the tarot, the bulk of the book is aimed towards the spiritual side of the cards and their many correspondences (Kabalah, Masonry, astrology, biblical references, etc.). It should be noted that the Church of Light correspondences vary greatly from other schools of thought. So you if are coming from a Hermetic background it may be a little confusing. Even if you don't agree with the correspondences there is still much to gain from this book. He includes very practical spreads which I have not yet come across before and interesting passages on subjects such as astral and thought vibrations. The back of the book also includes a test for each chapter which I believe are the same tests given to Church of Light initiates.
