About the Author
Jean Baptiste Alliette, better known as Etteilla, was an influential eighteenth-century French occultist, cartomancer, and writer whose work helped establish cartomancy as a distinct system of divination. Through his interpretations of playing cards and tarot, he developed methods that shaped later esoteric traditions and inspired generations of readers, practitioners, and historians. His writing combines practical instruction with symbolic speculation, reflecting the intellectual and mystical currents of his era. Alliette’s legacy endures in the continued study of tarot, card reading, and the history of Western occultism.
