Book Description

Publication Date: June 30, 2000

Enter the exhilarating and unexpected world of the Tarot--and embark on a voyage of self-discovery. The 78 cards of the Tarot offer a compendium of wisdom in visual form, and provide seekers with personal insights, guidance, and even glimpses of what lies ahead. This lavishly illustrated guide, filled with vibrantly colored artwork, includes a wealth of inspiring ideas to adjust to each individual expression. Participate and interact with the Tarot with the help of recommendations on choosing a pack and an introduction to the 22 characters of the Major Arcana, which describe the journey of life. The Minor Arcana are covered, too, and they go along the everyday byways and meandering paths of daily interaction. Practical guidelines on using the Tarot in meditation, a quick manual to interpretation, and a discussion of symbols, visualization, divination, and healing reveal the variety of possibilities in this ancient art.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

This brightly illustrated full-color coffee-table book is a handy introduction to understanding the history and use of Tarot cards for divination and self-examination. Easy-to-read and straightforward, this primer in the art of Tarot card reading is appropriate for most anyone (teenagers too) fascinated by metaphysical subjects. Vibrant reproductions of some of the more famous decks will assist the reader in choosing out of the many available on the market today. Short, clear-cut renditions of the meaning of each card in the major and minor arcana should set the wannabe soothsayer well on the way to mystical prognostication. --Randall Cohan --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: The Illustrated Guide To Tarot (Paperback)

if you're looking for a tarot book that will teach you pretty much everything you need to understand the meaning of the cards, this is it.

Definitions are short and to the point, pictures look beautiful. It covers several tarot cards: Santa Fe Tarot, Marseilles, Zolar, Russian, Motherpeace, Egyptian, Scapini, Golden Dawn, etc.

Another Tarot book I would recommend to the beginner is "Tarot in Ten Minutes" by RT Kaser.
