In looking for more background on alchemy and tarot I stumbled upon this podcast with Robert M. Place the originator of the Alchemical Tarot deck. An accomplished historian of the tarot, he goes into a lot of detail about how the tarot can be an alchemical manual, despite not being the ancient work of wisdom that some occultists believed. It’s a 2 hour program, but if you’ve got some time dive in, it is informative.
