FROM THE PUBLISHER:
Peter J Carroll developed the Theories and Practices of Chaos Magic which caused a revolution in magical and esoteric thinking in the last few decades of the twentieth century, and they continue to heavily influence it in the twenty-first century.
As the first in a new tradition of Sorcerer-Scientists, Carroll developed a paradigm in which Magic lies far closer to Science than to Religion. He formed a worldwide magical order to promote and develop the new insights into magic and then largely disappeared from public view to procreate and build a business empire and continue scientific and metaphysical research in private.
This book of interviews reveals the extraordinary life and adventures and thoughts of one of the world’s most exceptional antinomian thinkers. It contains much that may intrigue, surprise, amaze, and outrage the reader on a very wide range of topics.
The appendix contains Carroll’s Hypersphere Cosmology thesis which presents a radical alternative to the big-bang theory, and which has, so far, resisted all attempts to falsify it.
Peter J. Carroll is one of the founders of the Magical Pact of the Illuminates of Thanateros (IOT) which he led for a decade. He has spent thirty-five years in research and experiment and is the author of three other books:
Liber Null & Psychonaut, Liber Kaos: the Psychonomicon, and Psybermagic.
TAROT MANTEGNA:
E series, Venice, 15th Century
Restored by Anuar Zacarias
50-card deck with book $96.95
Publisher: Thot & Seshat Ediciones
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
All 50 images of this masterful work have been digitally restored from the original engravings. The Tarot Mantegna is an extraordinary symbolic system and imaginal device from the XV century, attributed to the artist Andrea Mantegna, but its true creators remain unknown.
The pictures in this tarot are mystical guides that help us recognize our place in the cosmos and remember our divine origin. As a whole, it is a poetic, philosophical, and mnemonic game that points us to a path of virtue and wisdom. Its allegories and symbols are part of the Platonic, Hermetic, and astrological tradition from the Renaissance. Its system and iconography inspired the creators of the Tarot of Marseilles, among others.
The companion book, "TAROT MANTEGNA: History - System - Interpretation," contains exclusive and documented information about the history of this tarot in regard to other decks, a study of its system, and the interpretation of each card; as well as some proposed exercises and reading methods.
