Reddit mentions: The best books on new age, mythology & occult

You can start your journey into the Tarot by reading up on the history of the cards themselves i.e. how they were originally used for playing games, which are still played today and are rather fun! There are a couple decent books on the topic such as this one, and this one. Both can be read online at Scribd if you don't want to buy them.

Also, if you use Memrise, I've created a course on the Hermetic Tarot that you may find useful for learning traditional attributions. It's not perfect - just a work in progress that I add to and slowly refine whenever I get time.

Excellent question! I suggest reading "Uriel's Machine" http://www.amazon.com/Uriels-Machine-Uncovering-Stonehenge-Civilization/dp/B005ZO67KS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1373897709&sr=8-1&keywords=uriel%27s+machine
It gives an excellent example of how to make your own henge-type calendar & why this was so important to agriculture throughout Europe.

After the Satanic Bible, The Satanic Scriptures by Peter Gilmore or Devil's Notebook by Anton LaVey are great if you want another book directly about Satanism.

If you want to branch out into related philosophical works, I would suggest The Ego and His Own by Max Stirner, The Virtue of Selfishness by Ayn Rand or The Gay Science by Friedrich Nietzsche.

Yes quite a few if you are really interested. I have some books you can check out as well. Warning on this though is that you really need to sort through the bullshit. Docu's like Ancient Aliens for example contain a lot of good points and a lot of really crazy ones. I have a folder with a bunch of stuff I have compiled and I can share some of it with you. I will get some together today. One book you may want to check out is called Uriel's Machine. The Author presents a lot of science and facts to back up his theories.

I will work on getting some links together in some kind of order if you want them.

Thanks! I'll give them a try. I also recommend:

Dancing Naked In A Mind Field - Kary Mullis

The Mayan Factor - Jose Arguelles

Uriel's Machine - Christopher Knight & Robert Lomas

Thanks for pointing this out, I usually try to read books like this even if I completely disagree with the theories they put forward.

I'll need something to read after I finish Uriel's Machine.

No worries. If you are interested in the fascinating history of tarot I suggest this book but get it in paperback.

I have 1 guess: Voices from the Circle: The Heritage of Western Paganism, edited by Prudence Jones & Caitlin Matthews. The only other one I could think of was the hardcover of Eight Sabbats For Witches by the Farrars.
