For nearly six centuries, tarot card designers have claimed that their cards have an esoteric link to ancient Egyptian magic, some even claiming their tarot decks are based on Egyptian magic. The Kemetic Tarot is directly based on the most powerful Egyptian magic discovered: The Book of Coming Forth by Day, a book of spells and ritual magic designed to allow a soul to invoke the gods and subdue evil adversaries as it travels from the mundane world to the spiritual world of the Duat (the afterlife), and finally on to eternal life in Aaru (the Egyptian Paradise). The book of The Kemetic Tarot explains how to read the Kemetic Tarot cards, with a thorough description of the gods, goddesses, and magic that form the foundation of this unique and powerful tarot deck.
This early work of poetry, by Aleister Crowley, was originally published in 1898. Born in Royal Leamington Spa, England in 1875, Crowley was raised by Christian fundamentalist parents. He attended Trinity College at Cambridge University, but left before graduating. After leaving the college, he devoted his time to studying the occult, and travelled extensively throughout the world in persuit of its secret knowledge. He went on to become a prolific writer, producing essays, prose and poetry on a wide range of subjects. To this day he remains a highly influential figure, both in occult circles and popular culture. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions.
