Le Tarot: Essai D’Interprétation Selon Les Principes de L’Hermétisme

"Le Tarot..." is an book by the French Martinist occult writer Jean Chaboseau, consisting of an essay in several parts on the Hermetic interpretation of Tarot, and a series of short pieces on each card of the Major Arcana. As an appendix, this book also reproduces the images from Chaboseau's 78-card tarot deck ("Le Tarot Traditionelle") in full. This is a monochrome deck loosely based on traditional continental European Tarot styles, such as the Marsaille deck, but with some slight changes which bring it slightly more in line with other esoteric Tarot decks which had emerged by the early twentieth-century. This book is known to have been a major source on the tarot for the modernist poet H.D. (Hilda Doolittle).
