In Mystical Origins of the
Tarot, Paul Huson traces each symbol of the Minor Arcana to ancient Persia,
and the Major Arcana Trump card images to the medieval world. A thorough
examination of each card is given, and how the cardsÂ’ divinatory meanings
evolved. Huson also provides concise and practical card-reading methods of the
18th and 19th centuries and reveals the origins of the card interpretations
promoted by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and A. E. Waite.
