The Occult Tarot
To fully embrace the light, it is sometimes necessary to venture into darkness…
For centuries, mystics and magicians have sought to establish connections with the spirits of the lower realms. Various magical traditions, from different cultures and eras, have passed down their secrets: summoning circles, protective talismans, offerings, and incantations, all intended to call forth demonic entities. In this work, the occultist Travis McHenry reveals the names of 17th-century demons and the powers associated with them through the 78 cards of this unique tarot deck.
This divinatory tarot draws its inspiration from the initiatory rituals attributed to King Solomon, a mystical and legendary figure of Antiquity, renowned for his mastery and power over spiritual entities.
The accompanying book allows you to delve into the mysteries of each demon, revealing their name, characteristics, and the name of the Hebrew angel who controls them. Each card becomes a guide to explore answers to your questions about the past, present, and future.

To fully access the light, one often must pass through the depths of darkness…
Mystics and magicians, for centuries, have explored hidden paths leading to the lower realms, seeking to communicate with supernatural entities to gain forbidden knowledge or obtain spiritual favors. Inspired by occult traditions from various eras and cultures, many practices have developed around the art of invocation, with carefully drawn protective circles, powerful talismans, dedicated offerings, and secret incantations. This fascinating work, created by occultist Travis McHenry, presents the names and attributes of 17th-century demons, revealing their role in past occult practices through the 78 carefully illustrated cards of this tarot.
This tarot draws on the rituals of Antiquity attributed to King Solomon, a mysterious figure often described as one of the greatest magicians of all time, possessing the unique power to summon and control spirits from invisible worlds. The Solomonic rituals are at the heart of this oracle, offering modern practitioners a gateway to the universe of spiritual entities. Each card reveals the characteristics of a specific demon, as well as the Hebrew angel said to control it, adding a unique dimension to divinatory practice.
The accompanying book deepens this exploration by providing information on the origins of each demon, its presumed powers, and details on how to use the cards as personal guides. Whether for questions about the past, present, or future, this oracle becomes an esoteric compass, a tool to explore the mysteries and symbols hidden in the darkest corners of mystical tradition. Each reading thus invites a fascinating encounter with ancient energies, for introspection guided by mystical and archetypal figures.

When the cards guide you.
Tarot is not meant to predict a fixed destiny, but to illuminate the path. Each card asks a question as much as it offers an answer. Tarot invites reflection, to face what blocks, what calls, what changes. It does not tell you what to do, but helps you see more clearly. Whether you seek perspective, a reference point, or a form of inner dialogue, tarot remains a simple, ancient tool accessible to all — a sincere mirror, never indulgent, but always there to get you moving again.

— The divinatory tarot in 6 questions .
Here is an overview of the most frequently asked questions. Of course, there are no silly questions, so if the answer is not here: you can contact us.
What is divinatory tarot and where does it come from?
The divinatory tarot is a set of cards used for cartomancy, a form of divination where the cards serve as a tool to understand situations, events, or aspects of life. The modern tarot we know today evolved from an Italian card game called tarocchi in the 15th century. The divinatory tarot as it is practiced today has its roots in the 18th century, when it began to be used for prediction and spiritual exploration, especially thanks to occultists like Antoine Court de Gébelin.
How does a divinatory tarot reading work?
Divinatory tarot is based on the symbolic interpretation of the cards drawn during a session. The querent asks a question or seeks clarity on an aspect of their life, and the tarot reader draws cards in response. Each card has a specific meaning, influenced by its position in the spread and the other cards surrounding it. Tarot readers use their intuition, their knowledge of the cards, and the querent’s situation to interpret the answers provided by the tarot.
What are the differences between the Major Arcana and Minor Arcana in tarot?
Divinatory tarot consists of 78 cards, divided into two main groups: the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana includes 22 cards representing universal and profound concepts, such as Death, Judgment, or the World. These cards are generally associated with major life events or significant changes. The Minor Arcana, numbering 56, are divided into four suits (Cups, Swords, Wands, and Pentacles) and deal with more everyday aspects of life like relationships, conflicts, or material matters. You can consult our complete guide to divinatory tarot for more information.
What mistakes should be avoided when consulting the divinatory tarot?
Among common mistakes, one of the most frequent is asking questions that are too vague or, on the contrary, too closed. It is better to avoid questions like "When will I win the lottery?" or "Am I going to die tomorrow?". Divinatory tarot is more useful when it comes to understanding situations or choices rather than predicting specific short-term events. Another mistake is not being open to the cards' answers or consulting the tarot too frequently for the same question, hoping for a different response.
Do you need to be a medium to read the divinatory tarot?
It is not necessary to be a medium to read tarot. Anyone can learn to read the cards through studying the meanings of the symbols and practice. However, some people also use their intuition or psychic abilities to enrich their interpretations. The ability to connect to the energies of the querent or to develop a stronger intuition can improve over time, but it is not essential to start using tarot.
Can divinatory tarot predict the future?
Divinatory tarot is more a tool for reflection and guidance rather than a means to predict the future in a fixed and unchangeable way. The cards offer an insight into present energies and possible directions based on the current actions of the querent. Tarot shows trends and probable paths, but it always respects each person's free will. Thus, future events are not set in stone and can change depending on personal choices.
