During the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, hermetic philosophy and the magic associated with it were central to the Renaissance. Tarot, astrology, and occult philosophy became sources of new optimism about human nature, where the quest for truth was not limited to religious, political, or intellectual inclinations. The Renaissance was a time when scientists, poets, philosophers, and painters sought an occult meaning and understanding of life that went beyond the prevailing beliefs of their era. Eliphas Levi famously stated regarding the occult symbolism of the Tarot, “With no other book than the Tarot, if the reader knew how to use it, could in a few years acquire universal knowledge, and would be able to speak on all subjects with unequalled learning and inexhaustible eloquence.”
