Читать книгу The Spirit of the Tarot - Claudine Aegerter - Страница 17

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This book was developed from a series of talks given by Claudine Aegerter to the Connaissance School of Numerology over a period of 2 years. The aim of the talks was to bring out the hidden light or Spirit behind the ancient system of symbols known as The Tarot – hence the name ‘The Spirit of the Tarot’.

The idea of making the talks into a book was instigated by mem bers of the Association Internationale de Numerologues (AIN), of which the School is part. As a group, the School and the Association formed a receptive and willing body, whose thirst for spiritual waters invoked the precipitation needed to bring in these teachings.

Thanks go to:-

Lesley Smith, who faithfully transcribed the work from tapes to written word. Nicholas Aegerter, who helped with the illustrations and format and final editing. Inspiration was drawn from the Ancient Wisdom teachings, given out by the Lucis Trust and the writings of Madame Blavatsky. To Edmond Delcamp who wrote ‘Le Tarot Initia-tique, Symbolique et Esoterique’ from which the initial idea for the talks was developed. The owners of the Oswald Wirth Tarot cards who have given their permission to use the images of their cards in this book.

Others involved were; Colin M. Baker, Margarita Coleman, Paul Elkerton, Jenny Myers, Christine Tonks and all the people who attended the talks on the Tarot. Also the many other members of the Association Internationale de Numerologues and the Connaissance School of Numerology, who gave their support.

Finally thanks to Claudine Aegerter, who was of course the great inspirer, joint editor and re-writer. The project completed its full cycle by coming back into her hands, to make sure that the original clarity of purpose and expression were retained.

I myself have been privileged to have worked on the project from the very beginning, and have all the way through, derived enor mous inspiration from being able to hold this work together and finally see the completed book; there to inspire and provide a practi cal way of working with the greater energies of Soul and Spirit.
