The Tarot and the Magus: Opening the Key to Divination, Magick and the Holy Guardian Angel
by Paul Hughes-Barlow
The Second Edition is now available.
The Tarot and the Magus is a groundbreaking work that takes the Tarot into previously unexplored areas of divination magic and spirituality.
The book takes you through new and creative methods of using previously hidden techniques of divination and analysis that opens up new areas of research into the Tarot. The first half of the book is dedicated to a step by step demonstration of these techniques, which all complement each other, and build confidence in the tarot reader.
These divination techniques lay the foundation for creation of magical and spiritual techniques beyond the Tree of Life, an area previously the domain of advanced magicians. The Tree of Life has been used to define the Tarot, but there is also the Atbash Code, a technique used by Kabbalists (and recently popularised by Dan Brown in the Da Vinci Code). The author demonstrates safe and effect means of accessing the spiritual powers that lay dormant within all of us using divination techniques, the Atbash Code and the Tarot.
Until now, magicians have been unaware of the spiritual and magical power of the Tarot, instead preferring complex ritual magical techniques that need immense preparation for magical tools, a temple space, and a lot of courage. Now, armed only with a Tarot deck and the previously hidden divination techniques, the magician has the power to use the spiritual powers within, spirits who will work willingly with the magician, transforming into the Magus.
If you only wish to extend your divination skills using the Tarot, you will be amply rewarded. Professional tarot readers will find the edge in improving their earning ability using the skills demonstrated in the book.
The book is illustrated with the classic Thoth Tarot deck designed by Aleister Crowley and executed by Frieda Harris, bringing new insights into the design of this powerful and enigmatic deck.

Paul, I have been recommended the Tarot and the Magus many times now! I really want to read this book and try the advice you share… is it possible to purchase it in kindle or PDF format? I travel a lot and it is QUITE tough to carry around my fav decks, so I am trying to get all the books in e-format, otherwise they’re pretty useless for me…
Thank you,
Victoria Evangelina
Hi Victoria, Sorry I do not have a pdf version of the book, and I do not think my publisher will be bringing out one soon. The book is not that big!
Hi Paul,
Any word on when (or if) Amazon.com will receive a batch?
Best Wishes,
Dean
H Dean,
I have given up making any kind prediction of when the book is available anywhere! You can try emailing my publisher, Aeon books. Amazon should have stock.

Hello Paul,
I would like to know how I can purchase this book. My husband would love a copy! I can’t seem to find any on Amazon for less then $100. I’m in the united states… not sure if that makes a difference. Thank you. ~Brittany
Hi Brittany,
I have no idea why it is such a problem in the USA. I Can send you a signed copy for $40. Please contact me via the contact page so I have your proper email address and we can arrange things. Paul
Been working with the Goetia for almost 2 years now. No problems. I treat them with respect! How does the Tarot and the Magus invite the Goetic spirits to work with the magician? I enjoy working with them.
Hi Tracey,
The Tarot and the Magus explores techniques of divination used in the Opening of the Key Spread, and it is was as a result of intensively working on one reading that is the basis of the book that the Goetia appeared (I had seen them many times before), in the context of being cousins of the spirits of Liber 231.
The process of reading the tarot using the Opening of the Key spread seems to create a resonance or harmony between the magician and the universe that allows these and other spirits to appear easily and spontaneously.

Hi, Paul!
I am an avid follower of your website, and I am interested in purchasing a copy of your book. I am in the US; what would be the easiest way for me to do this?
Thanks!
