Book Details
Creative Tarot: The man in the Eight of Coins is entirely absorbed in his work. The job here is to create excellence and consistency. His thoughts are not on the fame or money that will come; they are only on doing a very good job. The castle outside his window means he is isolated in his work; it is not the time to take the work to the market. This is a card of diligence and craft.
Complete Book of Tarot: This exquisite deck was owned by the Venier family of Venice. Most likely produced around 1491 by artist Nicola di Maestro Antonio, the Sola-Busca deck consists of seventy-eight cards and is unique in that each card is illustrated with characters based on figures of classical antiquity. Some authors believe that the symbolism of this deck derives from alchemical theories about transforming base metals into gold. The practice of illustrating each of the seventy-eight tarot cards with a unique scene or character would not be repeated until Pamela Colman Smith painted the now famous Rider-Waite-Smith deck in 1909.

How did the Golden Dawn arrive at this conclusion?
