Just as each new dealing of divination cards appears to reveal previously untold insights, so this volume and the tarot deck it commemorates is likely to continue opening new doors onto many aspects of art, literature and cultural history as well as those shadowlands where magic and occultism meet and conspire Brian Sibley, The Magic Circular From Publisher: "In 2013, curator and artist Jonathan Allen discovered a 79-card, hand-painted tarot deck created c.1906 by the famed 20th century London artist and mystic Austin Osman Spare. This extraordinary relic of the British Occult Revival had lain practically unnoticed in the collections of The Magic Circle Museum in London since their accession in 1944." Allen immediately recognised that Spares cards were not only art-historically significant, but also entirely unknown outside of The Magic Circles collections, and set about tracing the decks provenance, as well as its place in the artists oeuvre and within the wider histories of cartomancy. In 2016, London-based Strange Attractor Press published Lost Envoy, a 336-page hardback book featuring over 200 full colour images. Lost Envoy reproduced Austin Spares tarot deck in its entirety for the first time, alongside new written and visual contributions from Jonathan Allen, Phil Baker, Helen Farley, Alan Moore, Kevin ONeill, Sally OReilly and Gavin Semple. This new edition contains a substantial amount of new and revised material, including a major new discovery about Spare's sources for the attributions on his deck, hitherto unknown."
