Essential Guide to the Tarot by David Fontana
$
14.95
The Tarot is one of the richest of all Western mystical traditions, used for centuries for divination, meditation, and self-discovery. The Essential Guide to the Tarot offers a brilliant practical overview of the modern seeker who wishes to use this system to explore their hidden anxieties, desires, tensions, and contradictions. Destiny is not a set of circumstances dreamed up randomly by fate but a path that unfolds from self-understanding. This book shows how the Tarot can be used to illuminate that path.
Psychologist David Fontana begins by describing the history and symbolism of the Tarot, and then goes on to clarify in detail the meanings of the individual cards of th Major and Minor Arcana, and the special characteristics of the four suits - Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. An original and very helpful section explains how to deal and read the cards in tried and tested formats such as the Hoseshoe and the Celtic Cross.
To illustrate the book David Fontana has chosen a much-acclaimed deck devised especially for Watkins Publishing, using traditional symbolism rooted in medieval and renaissance practice. However, the text applies equally well to other popular decks in common use including the Rider-Waite.
Ideal for both the beginner and the more experienced card-reader, this is an enlightening and inspiring, 288 page (soft cover) guide.

Way of Tarot by Alejandro Jodorowsky
$
26.95
Alejandro Jodorowsky's profound study of the Tarot, which began in the early 1950s, reveals it to be far more than a simple divination system. The Tarot is first and foremost a powerful instrument of self-knowledge and a representation of the structure of the soul.
The Way of the Tarot shows that the entire deck is structured like a temple, or mandala, which is both an image of the world and a representation of the divine. The authors use the sacred art of the original Marseille Tarot, created during a time of religious tolerance in the 11th century, to reconnect with the roots of the Tarot's Western esoteric wisdom. They explain that the Tarot is a "nomadic cathedral" whose parts, the 78 Cards or "arcane," should always be viewed with awareness of the whole structure. This understanding is essential to fully grasp the Tarot's hermetic symbolism.
The authors explore the secret associations behind the hierarchy of the cards and the correspondences between the suits and energies within human beings. Each description of the Major Arcana includes key word summaries, symbolic meanings, traditional interpretations, and a section where the card speaks for itself. Jodorowsky and Costa then take the art of reading the Tarot to a depth never before possible. Using their work with Tarology, a new psychological approach that uses the symbolism and optical language of the Tarot to create a mirror image of the personality, they offer a powerful tool for self-realization, creativity and healing. This is a 536 page soft cover book.
