I'm interested in this one: http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/hermetic/
Would anyone have scans that are not fuzzy? Ta!

I've found the LWB that comes with this deck to be better than most. I can't think of any specific companion book for this deck, but it is one of many in a long line of esoteric and occult decks that can be traced as far back as Etteilla. If you are interested in learning more about the tradition and how we have arrived where we are today, you might want to read some of these authors: Etteilla (if you can find it); Eliphas Levi; Paul Christian; Papus; R. Falconnier; Saint-Germain; Oswald Wirth; Manly Hall; C.C. Zain; Aleister Crowley; A.E. Waite (if you have lots of time and have a high threshold for frustration); Israel Regardie; MacGregor Mathers. There are probably a lot more, but these are some of the most influential. Some of these are only available in French, but many of them have modern English translations. Decker and Dummett's A History of the Occult Tarot should be pretty good. It's been on my wish list for a long time but something else always seems to come up and bumps it back. This Web site is an excellent resource. Lot's of info and pics.Mariana said:Now that you guys are talking about the Hermetic: are there any good books to go with this deck?
