The Spiritual Study of the Tarot including The Kabalah, Numerology, & Astrology

Summary: Not so original!
Review: Initially I thought that this book was great, one of the few Tarot books that combined the Tarot, Kabbalah, numerology, symbology and astrology. But on closer reading I found that the author had copied chunks of text from the classic tarot book "The Tarot" by Paul Foster Case without either refering to Case or explaining his comments further. This is pretty disgraceful, I think they call it plaigiarism.

Summary: An Interesting Approach
Review: Though I do not use the Kaballah or Numerology, I began to understand the parallels of each as well as astrological parallels to the tarot so much clearer when I read Louise's book.
The layout of the book is a bit confusing as she has all the minor arcana divided by each card not by each suit. And the suits rotate, for 5's it may be cups, pentacles, swords, and wands and for 8's maybe swords, pentacles, wands and cups.
But the book itself is great for a learning tool. Each card she explains its artisitic interpretation, its associations and the reason for the parallels being made, as well as other interesting tidbits for each card.
I was lucky enough to be able to meet and attend Ms. Fimlaid's lectures last year and hope to do so this year as well. Her education in this area is unsurpassed when compared to modern day tarotists and astrologers.
