This review is from: Archetypes on the Tree of Life: The Tarot as Pathwork (Llewellyn's Spiritual Perspectives Series) (Paperback)

This book will serve the sincere student of Qabala and Tarot for many years. The Tarot illustrations are very poor, but the student should have their own deck anyway. The book summarises many years of training in a single volume. Packed with no non-sense technical content but the real reason to buy this book are for the excellent meditations and exercises. A MUST HAVE.
