About the Book
Synopsis
A New Look at Old Knowledge
The first book in a radical new series examines precisely what
the Bible prohibits as "divination." What does divination
really mean? Some people are afraid the Tarot will tempt them
into idolatry, even devil worship...But our ancestors--as well
as God--made definite distinctions between prophecy and
destiny, between divination and fortune telling.
Jacqueline Lichtenberg, noted author, lecturer, and scholar
explains the connection between the ancient knowledges of the
Tarot and the Bible. She explains both the similarities and
the differences, as defined by a Biblical God. Although the
origin of the Tarot may be shrouded in mystery, it is clearly
connected to the Qabalah (the Jewish mystery school). Thus it
is likely that not only Moses but Jesus knew and understood
Tarot. It is possible for us mortals to also understand the
Biblical underpinnings of the Tarot and to receive and
understand God's messages.
An Adventure into the Tarot
Next to the Ouija Board, no "too" has generated more
controversy than Tarot cards. Can what the author calls a
"party ice-breaker" devastate lives and destroy self-esteem?
Or is the Tarot deck like Jacob's ladder, leading to heaven?
In this original examination of the Biblical
prohibition against divination--and just what Tarot cards and
readers can and can't do--noted scholar, author and lecturer
Jacqueline Lichtenberg approaches these questions from
theosophical, sociological, psychological and scientific
viewpoints.
Natural Law, fortune telling, God's will, pre-destiny,
devil worship, extrasensory perception, the Qabalah and free
will are some of the thought-provoking areas covered in this
ground-breaking book, the first in a series.
No matter how you view Tarot cards, there is
incontrovertible evidence that Tarot cards are doorways. By
the time you finish reading this book, you will be able to
answer the question: Will you step through?
