Richard Cavendish was one of the United Kingdom’s premier historians in the subjects of occultism, religion, the tarot, and mythology.

His most prominent works, The Tarot, A History of Magic, The Black Arts, and Man, Myth & Magic, are considered to be some of the premier books in their respective genres.
