Meditations on the Tarot: A Journey into Christian Hermeticism is a profound spiritual work
written anonymously and published posthumously in 1980. Later revealed to be the work of Valentin Tomberg,
the book presents the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot as symbolic keys to Christian mysticism, Hermeticism,
and the perennial philosophy.
Each card serves as a meditation on archetypal spiritual truths, weaving together insights from
Catholic mysticism, Kabbalah, alchemy, and depth psychology. The work invites contemplative
engagement rather than mere intellectual study, treating the Tarot as a tool for spiritual awakening
and inner transformation.
