the passage Robin referred to was the Tarot layout within the text of
Gravity's Rainbow, as applied within the text to the character
Weissmann
-- so if you have _Gravity's Rainbow_., you have the Weismann Tarot reading.

An extratextual book people have mentioned as being good is The
Gnostic Pynchon (but I haven't read it myself)

occult in Pynchon is on-topic; and off-topic is sometimes good anyway...
