The history of Tarot Médiéval reads like an adventure novel. It was a French Tarot originally written by Francis Rolt-Wheeler and artist, Christian Loring, but published in the fateful year of 1939. Following the fall of France in June 1940, it seems not to have survived, and few copies of the original remain. Caitlín Matthews has translated and edited the Rolt-Wheelers text and written new material for this beautiful Tarot, whose art has been painstakingly restored by renowned artist Wil Kinghan. Tarot Médiéval has a luminous, dream-like, medieval setting, with fully illustrated 22 Major Arcana, 16 Court Cards, and 40 Pip cards in the suits of Cups, Swords, Sceptres (Wands), and Shekels (Coins). Each card explores the symbolic, initiatic, kabbalistic, numerological, astrological, and divinatory significances, to nourish the spiritual life. The historical and magical context of this extraordinary deck is rooted in the Oswald Wirth school of Tarot and Caitlín has provided new ways of using the cards which give meditational paths to explore it in a deeper way. This is a Tarot whose time has come and an inward adventure of a lifetime is waiting in the cards.

Discover the wisdom of the renowned Elizabethan magus Dr. John Dee and let it guide you through the mysteries of your own life’s journey. The John Dee Oracle draws from the visionary work of Dr. John Dee, the renowned philosopher, astrologer, and magus who stood at the crossroads of science and magic during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. This oracle, created by John Matthews and brought to life through the exquisite artwork of Wil Kinghan, offers seekers a chance to walk in the footsteps of one of history’s most enigmatic figures, delving into the wisdom Dee pursued throughout his lifetime. Twenty-nine cards are divided into four sacred towers—health, love, work, and intention—each governed by an archangel who oversees that domain (Uriel, Raphael, Michael, Gabriel), guiding you through life’s challenges with wisdom and insight. Included is a 16" × 23" folded diagram featuring the four watchtowers for oracle spreads. This fully updated reissued edition includes: - six of Dee’s original Enochian Calls, translated by John Matthews- a new card back design- an added Gloriana card, which honors Dee’s great patroness, Queen Elizabeth I
