A TRUE HISTORY OF WITCHCRAFT

"The fact is that the instincts of ignorant people invariably
find expression in some form of witchcraft. It matters little
what the metaphysician or the moralist may inculcate; the animal

A TAROT HISTORY TIMELINE

By Dame Gabby

The modern tarot is a deck of 78 cards consisting of 2 types of cards: the 22 cards of the "Major Arcana" or "Trumps which are named (such as the Lovers, Death and Judgement), and the "Minor Arcana" or "suit cards" (four suits of fourteen cards, each comprised of cards numbered from one to ten, and four 'court' cards) which roughly correspond to a modern deck of playing cards. This structure is a derivation of the Venetian or Piedmontese Tarot, but early decks were of several types with varying numbers of cards. Examples of early European decks related to the Tarot include:

MAGICIAN OF MANY PARTS


INTRODUCTION


WRITING to his friend Louis Wilkinson, on 7 April 1945,Aleister Crowley
remarked-in uncharacteristicallycharitable fashion--!Ifit had not been for Waite,
I doubt if, humanly speaking, I should ever have got in touch with the Great
Order.' Inevitably he prefixed this praise with abuse: 'Waite certainly did start
a revival of interest in Alchemy, Magic, Mysticism, and all the rest. That his
scholarship was so contemptible, his style so over-loaded, and his egomania so
outrageous does not kill to the point of extinction, the worth of hiscontribution.'
Even this is muted criticism for Crowley; more often he heaped abuse on Waite
with gusto, tingeing it with venomous personal attacks that were as unjustified
aswere his assaults on Waite's writing. His characterization of Waite (in his novel
Moonchild) as'EdwinArthwait', 'a dull and inaccurate pedant without imagination
or real magical perception', is more a reflection ofhis self-perception. But why
should Crowley, flamboyant, indifferent to public opinion and public morals,
and with aperpetual circle of sycophantic acolytes, be so exercisedwith the need
to condemn a man he perceived as a fellow occultist?
