Esoteric Order of the Golden Dawn ® - Western Mystery Resources - Book Reviews

By: Robert Wang

Review by: V.H. Frater I.C.L.

This book is a must for any serious student of the tarot. At the turn-of-the-century, the classical Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn set the standard for serious tarot studies. In recent years, the tarot has been demoted to a form of fortune telling. This was never the intention of the founders of the Golden Dawn. In the outer Order of the Golden Dawn Tarot was used in conjunction with initiation rights. In the Second Order, the tarot was used as a spiritual tool to look deeper within the secret self, the same way a mystic might use a religious icon. Robert Wang in his book on the Golden Dawn tarot re-introduces the serious study to the important implications and applications of the tarot.

We cannot recommend this book enough. With the mountains of tarot books out in the market, its nice to know that there is a serious tarot book based on true esoteric studies and book T.

We highly suggest students invest in this book. Non-members who desire serious study into the tarot, might find exploration of the Order websites suggested by the Golden Dawn Research Center of great benefit..
