This book is one of the most serious studies on the sybolism of the major arana as designed by Paul Foster Case otherwise known as the BOTA deck, and is quite simular to the Rider- Waite deck, which in my opinion are two of the best decks to start out with. It lays an essential foundation for anyone who seriously wishes to use the tarot for spiritual growth and divination.

The definitive work on the occult Tarot of the Western Hermetic Tradition.
Includes astrological, numerological, colour, Hebrew letter, and musical, correspondences.
Deals mainly with the Major Arcana, and although divination is covered, it is not the book's main emphasis.
I've never read a book so full of erudition, wisdom, practical advice, and clear, concise explanation. My copy goes with me wherever I go.

If you take a delight in the esoteric, cryptic, and seemingly irrelevant, pay attention to this book. Case puts every card in its context; he invariably begins by describing its Hebrew origins, its diverse associations, and its symbolic place in the tarot. As with any real tarot book, it is useless without considerable meditation and tarot-work outside of the book; slowly the perspective that he communicates will enrich your understanding of the cards.
This book will be useless to any who haven't gotten the basic gist of tarot already. You see, it is simply a combination of the elements and numerology; numerology is, I think, the richer aspect of the two. Once you have a basic understanding of it, this book has the information to refine that understanding. It can also help to introduce you to the Caballah through the Tarot.
If you aren't too used to tarot cards yet, try buying a book that addresses numerology directly, but very straightforwardly--Case is more straightforward than the old guarde of esoterists, but that won't mean much to a newcomer.
Also, some newfangled Tarot decks don't (I believe) really pay all that much attention to numerology. If that is the type of deck you are reading, this book will be useless to you. Some fairly orthodox decks are the Rider/Waite deck, the Golden Dawn Tarot, and the Thoth deck.
Yet another thing: Case comes at it from the Hebrew side, but the Egyptian side is also extremely relevant. I don't know much about astrology, but word is that side is also suitable..especially for a deck such as Thoth, which has astrological symbols all over the place. Case addresses a bit of astrology.
This book has taught me a great deal and continues to do so. It is not for everyone, still I recommend it extremely highly.
