General Book of the Tarot

A.E. Thierens’ work presents the Tarot as a symbolic and philosophical system rather than merely a set of divination cards. It is significant for its early twentieth-century effort to interpret the Tarot through the lenses of occultism, numerology, and esoteric correspondences, and readers will find structured interpretations of the cards, their symbolic meanings, and their place within a wider spiritual framework.

A. E. Thierens was a Dutch writer and astrologer associated with early twentieth-century occult and esoteric thought. He is chiefly remembered for works on astrology and related symbolic systems, contributing to the modern esoteric literature of the period.
