How can we possibly embrace our truest self if we never step into the dark?
Author and occultist Travis McHenry reveals the secret daemons of the 17th-century and conjures their powers into this unique set of 78-divination cards, comes with a guidebook (112 pages)
Drawing on daemons, symbols, and sigils from ancient magickal grimoires including Archidoxis Magica and the Key of Solomon, Occult Tarot presents a fully realized divination tool to finally embrace and behold the mysteries of the night.
The first tarot deck to faithfully adhere to the Solomonic principles of demon conjuration, Occult Tarot allows practitioners to discover the power of ancient demons and learn to tame the beasts that wander between the physical and spiritual worlds.
Using the Occult Tarot
To conjure any demon you wish to ask for favours or gain divination of the future you must use cards of The Occult Tarot, which bear the images and sigils of the 72 demons that great Solomon summoned, as well as their six rulers, the grand princes of hell, totaling 78 infernal spirits from the darkest realms.
Create an infernal circle (see Figure 1) in which the demons shall be contained by aligning five red candles in a rising crescent formation, with the centre candle, that closest to the west, being taller than the rest.
From the flame of the candles, light some sticks of incense and draw with the smoke, a circle around the conjurer and the infernal circle. Place the incense in holders on the south and north sides of the circle. Select the card bearing the image and sigil of the demon you wish to summon (this is called the significator) and place it in the centre of the circle. Say a spell.
