This book presents the first complete Russian translation of the classic work by Arthur Edward Waite – one of the greatest occultists, researchers of Freemasonry and Kabbalah. The edition reveals the original author's text of the “Illustrated Key to Tarot” and provides an opportunity to understand more deeply the concepts, philosophy, and hidden symbolism on which the world's most famous Tarot system is built.
Additionally, the book includes: extended notes explaining terminology, allegories, and special concepts used by Waite; historical and cultural references that allow for a more accurate interpretation of his ideas; and
