Los arcanos mayores del tarot

In these meditations, a Christian and pious thinker of undeniable probity strives with true scrupulousness to reach the very heart of Christian wisdom through the well-known practice of "tarot." This anonymous thinker introduces us to the symbols of Christian hermeticism on its different levels – mysticism, gnosis and magic – resorting to the cabalistic sciences and certain aspects of alchemy and astrology. These symbols appear in the so-called major arcana of the ancient card game known as "taroco" or, more commonly today, "tarot." The author tries to place them on the plane of the deepest, universal wisdom of the Catholic mystery. With this new edition, Herder Editorial aims to make theological reflection accessible to a broad Spanish-speaking public, who will find in this work a text that separates itself from the abstraction and positivism of traditional theological studies and the superficiality of existing esoteric literature and so fashionable today.
