About this recording

L.W. de Laurence, an occult and spiritual author and publisher, not only provides a history of the Tarot for fortune-telling purposes, but writes "a harmony of the meanings which have been attached to the various cards." De Laurence also offers a simple method for divinatory work with the cards, as opposed to the "cumbrous and involved" handbooks of the day.

Arthur Edward Waite originally published this work in 1910 with illustrations by Pamela Colman Smith. De Laurence published this exact facsimile copy in 1916 without giving any credit to the original creators.
