A stunning visual history of tarot
Used for self-exploration or divination, tarot has, for more than 500 years, been the most popular and accessible of all esoteric tools, looming large in todayâs mainstream culture. Why? Because the cards are inexpensive and easy to carryâa perfect traveling companion and, therefore, an invitation to a journey inward and out.
Humans are drawn to playing games and feel driven to find meaning in the chaos of paradoxical signs. The vivid iconography of the âArcanasâ speak to us like no other language, moving us to the core, weaving through each card a universal story, a metaphorical pathway of transformation.
This 400-page book presentsâfor the first timeâa close look at 500 years of figurative card decks created or used for fortune telling, divinations, and oracle purposes, and explores, one card at the time, their iconographic roots at the crossroads of the medieval imaginarium, Western esoteric wisdom, folklore, and also contemporary art and pop culture. With hundreds of images drawn from more than 100 decks, rarely published and often forgotten in library archives, this book offers the first visual history of tarot.
