Thanks,Mark. This is a pleasant surprise.A very small selection from this newly manuscript.was published anonymously by John Watkins back in the latre twenties or early thirties(I haven't checked it in years).But it was identified as being by Jung in the sixties or seventies.However there was nothiing then about a "Book Of Shadows".This iis new. Link to Waite:apart from the still unpublished Shadow Tarot Pack which I discovered the first time in late 1999-2000,Waite also created a second set of Greater Trumps,a few of examples which were published by Michael Dummet in "A Wicked Pack of Cards".R.A. Gilbert announced a book on this in 1997 but it has yet to appear.They were made by an Australian stain glass worker in the early 1920's.They are not apparently connected in either style or symbolism wiith the Shadow(Masonic pack)or the infamous Rider pack(or should I say Set?) that he ripped off from Yeats and Florence Farr. The designer went on to become a Jung pupil as did another Waiite pupil(female) who is also on record as being a Druidess. There was also a "Book of Shadows"(authorship disputed) whiich was composed for Gerald Gardner's witch cult in the 1930's . By the way, Waite (as well as Jung)went in for "Divination by Dreams". According to his Manual of Cartomacy(5th ed.,1912,p.254:) "To receive letters written with purple ink announces approaching elevation or death close by--even at the very gates." Yes,several 2006 Lacrosse players were tormented by such a dream ;and didn't it turne out exactly as AEW predicted?
