The most profound work of Christian Hermeticism written in the 20th century — published anonymously, as the author intended.
Valentin Tomberg's Meditations on the Tarot: A Journey into Christian Hermeticism uses the 22 Major Arcana as a framework for a sustained meditation on the relationship between esoteric tradition and Christian mysticism. It is not a book about reading cards. It is a book about the nature of reality, the structure of the spiritual world, and the path of inner transformation — written by someone who had clearly walked it.
Inside:
- Twenty-two letters to an unknown friend, one for each Major Arcanum
- The Magician through the World as stages of spiritual development
- The relationship between Hermeticism, Qabalah, and Christian mysticism
- Profound engagement with the nature of magic, prayer, and contemplation
- A foreword by Hans Urs von Balthasar, one of the great Catholic theologians of the century
Slow, demanding, and inexhaustible. One of the rare books that genuinely changes how you see.

Care Instructions: Machine wash cold, inside out. Hang dry is recommended to maintain the premium structure of the heavy fleece, or tumble dry low. Do not iron over embroidery/graphics.
