"In the early
20th century, Arthur Edward Waite commissioned Pamela Coleman Smith to create a
new deck using the mystical teachings of the Golden Dawn. Known as the
Rider-Waite-Smith deck, it was published in 1910, and began a revival of
interest in understanding the deeper messages in the Tarot images. One such
investigator was a Jewish rabbi, who studied the images from the Kabbalistic
perspective. Taking his investigation as far as he could, the rabbi sought out
a Jesuit priest who became so intrigued that he left the priesthood and devoted
the next 40 years to its study. My involvement began when after meeting the
ex-priest in the mid-70s, he became my mentor and close confidant. One day he handed
me a box full of papers with the instructions that I was to collate the
information and after adding my interpretation of the symbols, arrange it into
a manuscript for publishing. This proved to be no easy task and the book was brought to print in 1987.
Following my publication of the book, Llewellyn Publishers became interested
and published two printings of the book in the early 90s." -Daphna Moore
