Mouni Sadhu's "The Tarot", written in 1959 in Melbourne,Australia with illustrations by Mrs. Eva G. Lucas, is a very in-depth view of the French take on the Tarot. Sadhu was an adherent of Papus and both were in the line of Eliphas Levi, Fabre d'Olivet, and the Martinists. His book contains a great deal of practical ritual work also. Well worth a look if only to get a different view of the Tarot than everything that has been derived from the Golden Dawn. His cards have been reworked in a newer version than those of Papus which he declared were unobtainable at the time of his writing. His discussion of each of the major Arcana contains a section on its connections to Alchemy, Astrology, Kabbalah, and Magic (into which he places actual workings to illustrate the principles of each Trump).
