Meditations on The Tarot: Part 1 - The Magician, The High Priestess, and the The Empress
from Parallax · host Andrew Sweeny
A new series of video essays based on my summer reading of the 700-page spiritual classic, entitled Meditations on the Tarot: A Journey into Christian Hermeticism by the anonymous author whom everybody now knows was Valentine Tomberg. This is not a summary of Tomberg’s work per say, but rather my own idiosyncratic reading of the Tarot partly inspired by Tomberg’s work. This series aims to explore Tarot symbolism—and is a contemplation of the meanings of the main archetypes presented in the Tarot card deck. As a longtime practitioner of Tantric Buddhism, an intensely symbolic and, dare I say, magical path—I’m on a journey to understand the symbolism of western esoteric systems. Tarot and Tomberg’s book seemed like a fun place to start.
