Tarot: A Modern Guide: A practical handbook for beginners & beyond

Description

Tarot: A Modern Guide is a practical guide to the basics of the seventy-eight-card tarot, the most popular deck for self-development and divination. The tarot is a path to self-development. Its images stimulate us to explore the forces that shape our world and assist us in finding creative ways to resolve problems in our everyday lives. In itself, the tarot is not a solution, but learning the simple yet profound truth enshrined in the cards can help us adapt positively to life's challenges. In 'Part 1: The Tarot Deck', each of the seventy-eight tarot cards is described, with its divinatory meanings to help guide your own unique journey. Useful cross references direct you to relevant pages in Part 2 and Part 3 of the book. 'Part 2: Tarot Wisdom' contains a collection of meditations, activities and exercises inspired by each of the twenty-two major cards. They include divination, magic and clairvoyance. Key activities feature as part of the twelve-month program offered in Part 3. * 'Part 3: Your Tarot Year' presents a structured route through the key activities in Part 2, with a schedule of twelve monthly steps that build into a full year's course of tarot exploration, and provides a space to record your own experiences. With this book you will learn how to unlock the secrets of the tarot, finding ways to understand them and use them to influence your life.

British author John Izzard is fascinated by all the different ways we look the world, and marvels at how we communicate as fluently as we do. He finds endless inspiration in the tarot cards that embody the aspiration of visionaries to collect key ideas in images that transcend time.
