Just one, the unbound book of wisdom containing 78 pages that is the Tarot:

Éliphas Lévi "wrote that a prisoner with no books, but only the tarot and the knowledge of how to use it, could ‘acquire universal wisdom, and speak on any subject with unequalled knowledge and inexhaustible eloquence’."

>>9721767
I read the Tarot as a form of meditation. Is Levi worth checking out? He dissed my nigga Crowley.

>>9721772
Levi lived in the 19th century, he never met Crowley, who came along later. His work is a rather incomprehensible mish-mash of many things, but with some startling insights.
I just happened to like and to remember that particular image, appropriate for a thread on Desert Island books.

>>9721775
Ah I must have been thinking of someone else, whoever kicked Crowley out of The Golden Dawn. Anyway interesting fact: I smuggled my Tarot into jail once and it was taken from me because gambling was not allowed. Bad times.

>>9721781
You're probably thinking of Mathers or Waite.
I guess you missed your chance at testing out Levi's theory then, bummer.
