General Book of the Tarot by A.E. Thierens [1930]
This curious book is interesting primarily for its connection to A.E. Waite who seems to be consulted heavily by the author. For all his high principles, Waite evidently had no compunction in allowing misleading information on the tarot to be published. For example, just about every astrological attribution to every card bears no resemblance to our modern day understanding. Thierens comprehension of astrology is also rather suspect.
The General Book of the Tarot is a classic example of what can happen when accurate knowledge and information is hard to find. To help you make your own decisions on the veracity of this book, I have moved the divinatory meanings and attributions of the cards to the main tarot card meanings section so that you can compare and contrast.
