The Daemon Tarot Deck: The Forbidden Wisdom of the Infernal Dictionary (Modern Tarot Library)

The Daemon Tarot Deck: The Forbidden Wisdom of the Infernal Dictionary (Modern Tarot Library) by Arianna Osborne What does the Daemon Tarot hold in store for you? Summon the power of infernal beings to guide you on your path . . . For the 1863 sixth edition of his Dictionnaire Infernal (“Infernal dictionary”), a volume filled with entries about magic and the occult, demonologist Jacques Auguste Simon Collin de Plancy commissioned over five hundred unique engravings—including 69 signed illustrations by Luis Breton, mostly compelling portraits of named demons. Now author Ariana Osborne has created a matched set of 69 cards out of Breton’s works and written a companion book of illustrated entries for each. These entries detail each dæmon’s attributes compiled not only from the Dictionnaire, but from a variety of other sources; Osborne’s own interpretations and insights into the subject of each card; and focused meanings to use in a traditional one-card draw or a six-card spread—“the next best thing to dragging a dæmon into your living room to answer all of your questions.” Includes: Tarot deck inluding 69 illustrated dæmon cards 160-page guidebook including interpretations of each card that can be applied to a variety of life experiences, from making major financial decisions to general daily guidance
