Foreword
These meditations on the Major Arcana of the Tarot are Letters addressed to
the Unknown Friend. The addressee in this instance is anyone who will read all
of them and who thereby acquires definite knowledge, through the experience
of meditative reading, about Christian Hermeticism. He will know also that the
authot of these Letters has said more about himself in these Letters than he would
have been able to in any other way. No matter what other source he might have,
he will know the author better through the Letters themselves.
These Letters are written in French because in France —since the eighteenth
century until the present time, i.e. the second half of the twentieth century-
there exists a litetature on the Tarot, a phenomenon which is found nowhere else.
On the other hand, there existed in France —and it still persists —a continuous
tradition
of Hermeticism, in which is united a spirit of free research with one of
respect for the tradition. The purpose of these Letters therefore will be to "incar-
nate" into this tradition, i.e. to become an organic part of it, and in this way to
contribute support to it.
As these Letters are intended only to serve, to sustain, and to support the Her-
metic tradition — from its first appearance in the epoch of Hermes Trismegistus,
lost in the remoteness of antiquity and become legendary—they are a definite
manifestation of this millennial-old current of thought, effort, and revelation.
Their aim is not only to revive the tradition in the twentieth century but also,
and above all, to immerse the reader (or rather the Unknown Friend) in this
current —be it temporarily or for ever. For this reason the numerous citations of
ancient and modern authors which you will find in these Letters are not due to
