TAROT When people think of Tarot cards and Tarot readings, they often imagine a mysterious world of fortune-telling, with the cards revealing what lies ahead regardless of their own life choices and preferences. For those who think of it that way, the Tarot may seem a little scary. The truth is, the Tarot will only tell you what your subconscious already knows. The real value in learning more about the cards and their symbology is to make that bridge with your subconscious and understand what your Higher Self or your Soul is trying to communicate. The Tarot will not tell you definitively what is going to happen to you, rather it can be used as guidance to explore what will likely happen if you stay on a particular path, divert to another, or even just take time to think about what has already happened to you and why. This book will take you step-by-step through the process of using a tarot deck, explaining each card individually, and providing you with several methods for reading the cards for both yourself and for others!

Most tarot books explain the meaning of the cards and how to read spreads. In Tarot: A Life Guided by the Cards, I go one step further - using events from my life to illustrate the rich symbolism of each card and helping the reader see how they relate to their own life and circumstances. I have an extended section on the court cards, which are the characters of Tarot. Understanding these cards is a fascinating way to better know yourself, other people, and to add real colour to your readings. I also cover some big tarot questions: What is fate? Can the future be predicted? How to read for yourself in difficult times. How to adjust a Tarot spread to ensure accuracy and reflect any situation. Safeguarding - what you need to consider when reading Tarot for others. How to guide your life with the tarot. Think of my book as a long chat with a Tarot expert, shared over a cup of coffee. As I share memories, answer your questions, and offer you practical guidance to support your Tarot journey.

Provides a clear, but profound, method of exploring and discovering your own inner depths. A necessary prerequisite to a thorough understanding of the ancient symbols.

There arose in the fourteenth century a system of moral and spiritual teachings, a system that was used as a game, a guide, and a tool for divination. It was a system steeped in the symbols and icons of Kings, clergy, courts, and the art of Renaissance Europe, a system of symbolism so powerful that it continues to teach us today. It is the Tarot. Although the first common use of the Tarot was as a game, shortly after its creation in approximately 1350, Tarot, or its predecessor, was adopted by monks to help them learn and remember the moral code, to see the various sides of human nature, and to grow in their spiritual lives. The cards contained spiritual insights held within pictures and symbols, which touch both our conscious and subconscious minds. Through the monks these truths were linked to Scriptures that taught and strengthened the seeker. In this book we will look into the fascinating history of the Tarot, its uses and meanings. We will look at the evolution of the cards from gaming to spiritual meditation and divination. We will re-establish connections between the Tarot and the wisdom of the Scriptures. We will elucidate the meaning of each card, and we will study the use of Tarot in acquiring a deeper knowledge of our past, present and future and ourselves. We will explain how to use the cards in the areas of divination and personal meditation. Information and details will be given on how to divine the past, present, and future as we explore the use of the cards in modern society. We will learn to use the cards as a meditation and tool to explore our deeper selves. From the year 1300 to today, this book bridges the gap and brings back to us the wisdom hidden in the cards but lost so long ago.

Gaining insight into our deeper selves through the use of divination tools to help decide future actions has preoccupied mankind since ancient times.

To explore the Tarot is to explore ourselves, to be reminded of the universality of our longing for meaning, for purpose and for a connection to the divine. This 600-year-old tradition reflects not only a history of seekers, but our journey of artistic expression and the ways we communicate our collective human story . For many in the West, Tarot exists in the shadow place of our cultural consciousness, a metaphysical tradition assigned to the dusty glass cabinets of the arcane. Its history, long and obscure, has been passed down through secret writing, oral tradition, and the scholarly tomes of philosophers and sages. Hundreds of years and hundreds of creative hands—mystics and artists often working in collaboration—have transformed what was essentially a parlor game into a source of divination and system of self-exploration , as each new generation has sought to evolve the form and reinterpret the medium. Author Jessica Hundley traces this fascinating history in Tarot , the debut volume in TASCHEN’s Library of Esoterica series . The book explores the symbolic meaning behind more than 500 cards and works of original art , two thirds of which have never been published outside of the decks themselves. It's the first ever visual compendium of its kind , spanning from Medieval to modern, and artfully arranged according to the sequencing of the 78 cards of the Major and Minor Arcana . It explores the powerful influence of Tarot as muse to artists like Salvador Dalí and Niki de Saint Phalle and includes the decks of nearly 100 diverse contemporary artists from around the world , all of whom have embraced the medium for its capacity to push cultural identity forward. Rounding out the volume are excerpts from thinkers such as Éliphas Lévi , Carl Jung , and Joseph Campbell ; a foreword by artist Penny Slinger ; a guide to reading the cards by Johannes Fiebig ; and an essay on oracle decks by Marcella Kroll .
