This book is the greatest Christian answer to the problem of Gnosticism.

Don't Christianism condemn Tarot and other forms of divination? I'm just curious. Could you also say in few words why it answers the problem of gnosticism?

Archon please, turn off the simulation.

That's the thing, it's not actually about tarot cards or divinations, but about the deep inner spiritual journey of the genuine Christian seeker that uses tarot archetypes as metaphors for different stages of the spiritual life.
As for how it discounts gnosticism, it's basically offering path to the same spiritual goal as gnostics claim, but through experiential understanding of Christian truths such as the Incarnation, the deathliness of the material world, etc. It takes the life and teachings of Christ as not just something that happened and things to abide by, but also as deep symbols of Man's own nature and his relationship to God, and how through proper meditations on these apparently superficial teachings one can come to more fully know Reality.
Of course, all of this presumes you're already a Christian, but you get the point.

Good reading brother!
Just be warned, it's very dense and uses a lot of spiritually-heavy terms that might not be familiar to most people, so you really have to put in the mental effort to get to the heart of what he's trying to say.
