Description

Gaining insight into our deeper selves through the use of divination tools to help decide future actions has preoccupied mankind since ancient times. In Europe, cards which became known as Tarot have been used to map the soul and predict the future since the 16th century. The 78 cards in the Tarot deck each has its own imagery, symbolism and story. This beautiful hand-bound edition showcases each card from the Rider-Waite set, the one most commonly used by Tarot readers. Practitioners believe that the 22 Major Arcana cards represent life’s karmic and spiritual lessons, and the 56 Minor Arcana cards reflect the trials and tribulations of everyday life. Tarot offers an elegantly presented, concise guide to the 78 cards, from number 0 The Fool – who represents unlimited potential, through The Hermit – who represents a break from everyday life, to number 21 The World – which indicates a sense of wholeness, completion and fulfilment.

This book is a great intro to the standard Rider-Waite Tarot deck containing the 78 classic cards. It is not a "how-to" guide to Tarot reading, but rather gives a comprehensive look at each individual card and its possible interpretations. For each card, a full-page image of the card is shown, with the opposite page offering brief background on the subject depicted on the card, followed by possible interpretations corresponding to the card, both upright and reversed. While I am not a Tarot practitioner myself, I have always been interested in looking up any Tarot-related references I come across in literature -- ranging from the numerous ones in TS Eliot's poetic masterpiece 'The Waste Land', to the reference to the 'lightning-struck tower' in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince -- and this book is perfect for that purpose! I would highly recommend this book, with its simple and elegant layout, as a good reference for anyone interested in knowing more about individual Tarot cards.
