Tarot: The Secrets of the Symbols (Library of Oracles for Guidance and Self Awareness)

Tarot has existed in many forms for over 600 years. In its time it has been a card game played by the Italian nobility, works of fine art, allegories of moral teachings and philosophy, an inspiration for novels and films, a coded system for magic and esoteric wisdom, a gateway for meditation and much more. Tarot cards are probably the most frequently used of all the oracles, and millions of people worldwide use the Tarot on a regular basis. Tarot cards have inspired artists from Salvador Dali to Bob Dylan. Psychologists, philosophers and theologists have used Tarots and have transformed the practice into a guiding medium with which to help interpret our modern lives.

Using the antique Tarot de Marseilles, one of the most famous tarot decks in the world, makes it easy to open your heart and your mind to new ideas and can provide solutions to many problems. As you become more deeply involved with the cards you will gain a truly unique insight into aspects of your life where you are seeking help or advice.

• 160-page paperback book
• 78-card deck featuring the Tarot de Marseilles
