This book is an attempt to create an encyclopedic course of modern esotericism, structured according to the twenty-two Major Arcana of the Tarot. It should be presented as a development and modern addition to the Course of the Encyclopedia of Occultism G.O.M. Since its publication in 1912, two world wars have passed, revolutions have occurred, and unprecedented scientific and technological progress has occurred. The situation in the world has changed greatly due to the fact that colossal changes have occurred on the spiritual plane. But so far no relevant literature has appeared that consistently describes the changes that have taken place. In this book, for the first time in the open press, such esoteric things are reported that have not previously been touched upon in the literature on these topics. In addition, when presenting long-standing and well-known esoteric knowledge, special emphasis is placed on elements that have changed in our time.

The book is also an explanation of the system of ideas underlying the “Kabbalistic Tarot G.O.M.” deck of cards.

The first volume focuses on the basic elements of esotericism necessary for a correct understanding of the modern world. Some secrets related to the spiritual structure of man of our time are revealed. Issues related to the septenary structure of time are discussed in detail. The system of formation of Minor Arcana cards is described in detail.

In the second volume, the main emphasis is on the moral and ethical problems facing modern man in a rapidly changing world. If the presentation of the first volume was more of an educational nature, then the second is more of an initiatory nature. Both volumes together are, on the one hand, a presentation of the “Basic Elements of Esotericism”, and on the other hand, they are the “Path of Initiation.”
