"The Illustrated Key to the Tarot: The Veil of Divination" by L. W. De Laurence is a detailed exploration of Tarot symbolism and its historical context, written in the early 20th century. This work offers insight into the intricate meanings behind the Tarot cards, specifically focusing on the Greater and Lesser Arcana, while also emphasizing the esoteric traditions associated with Tarot divination. The author aims to shift the perception of Tarot from mere fortune-telling to a deeper understanding of its mystical roots and symbolism. The opening of this guide establishes the author's intention to emphasize that Tarot is far more than a simple divinatory tool; it is a repository of profound symbolism that can be interpreted through the lens of occult tradition. L. W. De Laurence introduces the content structure, indicating the work is divided into parts that will cover various aspects of Tarot, its historical background, and the interpretative meanings of the cards. He discusses the misconceptions surrounding Tarot and calls for a resurgence of respect towards its true nature, suggesting that its history has been obscured by misunderstandings and charlatanism. The preface sets the stage for a deeper inquiry into the Tarot's symbolic language, which aims to provide readers with insights into its secret doctrines and inner meanings.
