This is a first person autobiographical account published by Robert Wang himself, in his own words, describing how he came to create the Golden Dawn Tarot with Israel Regardie and the Qabalistic Tarot afterward. It is strongest for what Wang states about his own career and choices, since nobody is better placed to report them, and its concrete claims, writing to Regardie, the Los Angeles meeting, a year spent sending watercolor paintings to Regardie in California for review, the 1978 publication and the later five year Qabalistic Tarot project, match the publication history independently documented by the deck's own publisher and by secondary tarot-history coverage. It is not an independent, edited or fact-checked biography, carries no publication year of its own since it is a standing web page rather than a dated edition, and does not state Wang's birth year or birthplace at all; that absence is treated here as the source staying silent rather than denying the fact, and is recorded on Wang's own page as an honest unknown instead of being filled from a weaker source.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
An informal, blog-hosted first-person autobiographical account with no independent publisher or editorial standing of its own, the same shape as this corpus's Alan Watts and Kemetic Orthodoxy founder precedents (sources 48011 and 14815), both tier three for the same reason. NotesRobert Wang's own first person account of creating the Golden Dawn Tarot with Israel Regardie; does not cover his birth year or birthplace.
