The Sacred Book of Thoth. The Great Arcana of Tarot: Absolute Beginnings of Synthetic Philosophy of Esotericism

The beginning of the 20th century is an era of challenges and new exciting ideas. Discoveries in physics, chemistry, and psychology have transformed the understanding of the world. Philosopher-mystic and leader of the Moscow school of Rosicrucians, Vladimir Shmakov, offered... his response to the rapidly changing reality — a vast esoteric work devoted to the Tarot cards. This book gathers the secret knowledge of ancient Eastern mystics, Kabbalistic formulas, Indian spiritual practices, teachings of Pythagoreans, the wisdom of medieval thinkers, and examples of European metaphysics. The creation of the legendary body of knowledge known as the 'Book of Thoth' led Vladimir Shmakov to formulate a theory of self-knowledge and understanding of the world, at the center of which are the principles of harmony and unity. This amazing book will become a reference not only for those interested in Tarot but also for those wishing to embark on a quest for secret knowledge and human happiness.
