An Introduction to the Study of the Tarot

Paul Case’s introduction offers a systematic guide to the Tarot as a body of esoteric teaching linked to Hermetic and Qabalistic traditions. Historically important in the development of modern occult Tarot interpretation, it gives readers foundational explanations of the cards, their symbolism, and their relationships to astrology, numbers, and spiritual psychology.

Paul Foster Case (1884–1954) was an American occult author and teacher, associated with the Builders of the Adytum and the development of tarot, qabalah, and ceremonial magic studies in modern esotericism. His writings helped systematize a practical occult philosophy drawing on Hermetic, Rosicrucian, and Masonic sources.
