Description

This book is intended to interpret and amplify the meaning of the hermetic classic Meditations on the Tarot (by “Anonymous,” later revealed to be Valentin Tomberg). It interprets Tomberg’s book, a series of meditations of the Major Arcana of the tarot, through the hermeneutic lens of the Gospel of St. John, and argues that the 22 cards of the deck correspond precisely to the 22 chapters of John’s Gospel. It further demonstrates - acting on claims by Tomberg that the Major Arcana are a “school of Christian initiation,” as well as claims made Rudolf Steiner that the Gospel of John is also a true path to Christian initiation--that Tomberg’s classic read in conjunction with the Gospel of John, reveal the contours of an accessible path to higher Christian knowledge.

Tomberg’s book has a growing readership, despite its difficulty. This new book includes very accessible interpretations of Tomberg’s Meditations.
