Excerpts from Meditations on the Tarot

Below, you can find representative excerpts from each Letter of Meditations on the Tarot. These are provided by kind permission of the copyright holder of the English translation, Robert Powell, and may only be downloaded for your personal use.

All page numbers refer to the 1993 Element edition of the book, which to the best of my knowledge are the same as the 2002 Jeremy Tarcher edition.

Clicking on the page number will, where available, take you to a synopsis of the relevant Letter, kindly provided by Michael McConville. These synopses are intended as an aid to gaining an overview of each Letter. For Letter I, see also these additional notes, a work in progress by Evlogite.
