A meditative guidebook that explores the esoteric cosmology shared by the twenty-two major arcana of the tarot and the twenty-two stanzas of Mabel Collins' Light on the Path. The author leads us from Anthroposophia (the "wisdom of becoming Human") to Theosophia ("the wisdom of God"), and in the process we see revealed a path to self-initiation.
Foreword by William Bento, coauthor of Signs in the Heavens.

It was of decisive importance for the development of western esotericism." ~ Dr. Virginia Sease. "Within this book, John Barnwell has revealed the hidden harmony that exists between the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot and the 22~fold stanza structure of the epic meditative text Light on the Path. And, by using this esoteric canon of numbers as a bridge ~ leading from Anthroposophia ('the wisdom of becoming human'), to Theosophia ('the wisdom of God') ~ he has revealed further light to illuminate the pathway toward self~initiation. The Arcana of Light on the Path follows his first book The Arcana of the Grail Angel; and demonstrates a seamless continuity in his understanding of some of the most difficult and recondite subjects. Furthermore, the painstaking care he has exhibited in his systematic organization of a coherent and developmental sequence for a plethora of esoteric concepts, shows clearly how such concepts are derived from universal immutable laws, and is evidence of his indebtedness to the Masters of 'Arcane Wisdom."' ~ Douglas J. Gabriel. "The Arcana of the Grail Angel is a wonderful exposition of Christian Cosmology that can help one gain the spiritual insights that are so important for developing a conscious relationship to their own personal Guardian Angel." "The Arcana of the Grail Angel is an inexhaustible and indispensable reference book for any serious esoteric Christian. John Barnwell is to be highly commended for his ability to perceive and organize the historical tapestry of the Grail tradition. He does not merely present the hidden aspects of human evolution to the reader, but invites the reader to journey with him through the archives of a macrocosmic~microcosmic museum of man's richest legacy . As fellow travelers seeking the Grail we can be encouraged to take this book as a trusted companion with us. I certainly shall." ~ William Bento. Seller Inventory # 10102601
