The Goetia: Tarot in Darkness Guidebook (often referred to in its "Little White Book" or LWB form) is a specialized companion to Fabio Listrani's dark, demonology-inspired deck.

: The book lists the spirits associated with each card across the Major and Minor Arcana (Wands, Disks, Cups, and Swords), detailing their specific attributes such as wealth, knowledge, or protection. Astrological Correspondences

1. The Rank: (King, Prince, Earl, etc.)
2. The Direction: (North, South, East, West – crucial for ritual placement).
3. The Metal: (Copper for Venusian spirits, Iron for Martian entities).
