The Transformational Truth Of Tarot is a groundbreaking non-fiction book that illustrates the intriguing system of Tarot in a whole new light; not only as predictive tool but as a philosophy that underpins our entire existence.

This is a faery tarot with a difference, uncompromising in its portrayal of faeries as they really are: sly, frequently cruel, cleverer than humans and full of secrets, rather than the whimsical, sweet-natured creatures beloved of the Victorians and the New Age. It's the world of Christina Rossetti's Goblin Market, a place where all denizens of the Otherworld come to buy and sell, to mingle and exchange gossip. It is a place unsafe for humans. But imagine if you could look through a window onto the scene, as Christina Rossetti does in her poem? Imagine the beings you would see there ... Here is a tarot of wit and wickedness, of challenge and uncertainty, of wonder and truth. This 80-card deck with 176-page guidebook offers as the Major Arcana a gallery of strange and wonderful creatures, from the Faery Queen to the Wiseman, plus intriguing motifs from the poem, such as the Secret Way and the Fallen Tree. Minor suits represent magical implements, fruits, flowers and elements. Enter a haunted, magical world - an enchanting landscape of falling towers, crumbling walls and tangled woods, of streams tumbling amongst mossy stones, of fallen trees and bones threaded with vines and spiked roses. Prepare to be enspelled ... and to discover the answers to your questions and dilemmas.

The drawings in the tarot deck by Karen Vogel and Vicki Noble reflect Goddess and earth-based cultures from all over the world and throughout history. Set is complete with the Mini Motherpeace Tarot and Motherpeace Tarot Guidebook. Vogel's own reflection on the meaning and use of the cards is described as "a fundamental healing process for reaching beyond the limitations of gender roles found in our society".

The great work of this Florentine master enlivens this deck with Renaissance flair and grace. Let Botticelli's timeless art-reproduced here with gold highlights-take you to new dimensions of nature, beauty, and spirituality.

One of Aeclectic Tarot's Top Ten Decks for 2007!

Publisher Review:

Sandro Botticelli (born Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi in 1445 and died in 1510) had the patronage of the (in)famous Lorenzo de' Medici, and the two works considered his masterpieces, "The Birth of Venus" and "Primavera" have become so popular that they have achieved cliche status when trying to represent Renaissance art in Florence, Italy. Botticelli created numerous artworks, and in this deck, artist Atanassov has cleverly cut and pasted sections Botticelli's works--sometimes duplicating images in the background (such as repeating the image of a sword to give the appropriate number of swords in a card) and sometimes changing the size (such as making the coins bigger to draw more attention to them)--and massaging them in a surprisingly effective way to produce a deck that is mostly similar in imagery to the Rider-Waite-Smith version. . . . read more.

From the author of the popular Green Witchcraft series comes a unique approach to using the tarot as a spiritual tool for channelling energy and communicating with the Divine.

Nefertari, the bride of Ramses II, assisted her husband in the temporal ruling of Egypt. During her incredible life, she witnessed the great expansion of her country and enjoyed the worship of her devoted husband. Upon her death, Ramses built Nefertari a stunning sepulcher that remains almost intact to the present day. This deck recreates the atmosphere and symbology so loved by Nefertari-who is considered the Light of Egypt and a symbol of the most beautiful aspects of this elegant and sophisticated civilization. The typical two-dimensional Egyptian artwork is given incredible life and luminosity by the rich, patterned gold foil background. Drawing upon the fascination and mystery of Egyptian culture, Alasia has created a beautiful deck that is also practical for divinatory purposes.

Using art and symbolism from the Dickensian Victorian era, this rich and inspiring 78-card deck and guidebook draws on literary themes but remains rooted in traditional Tarot. The Major Arcana focuses on Dickens own life and history, including real-life people who were worked into his fiction. These include his father, John, as Wilkins Micawber in the Emperor card and his mother, Elizabeth, as Mrs. Nickleby in the Empress card. The four suits -- Fire, Water, Air, and Earth -- are populated by a plethora of his best-loved characters and novels. The horizontal orientation of the cards invokes an open book, a vista, or even a panorama of Dickenss scenes. The guidebook, written in Dickensian shorthand provides keyword analysis of each card, making the meaning clear in both your own life and in relationship with Dickenss characters.

Leonardo da Vinci was one of the most renowned artists of his day, and, in modern times, his work is recognized worldwide. He is universally acknowledged as a prophetic visionary, who envisioned and created blueprints for many ideas and artifacts now taken for granted in the modern world. The Da Vinci Enigma Tarot is faithful to his vision, drawing on his notebooks, drawings, and ideas. Lavishly illustrated with his artwork, the deck creates a portable notebook containing the macrocosm (Major cards), the greater archetypal world, and the microcosm (Minor cards), the lesser manifest world of everyday. Using da Vinci's own insights, the accompanying book enables the reader to use the deck to discover fresh ways of looking at personal experience.

Hieronymus Bosch's unusual vision of the strange universe of the 16th century provides the filter through which Atanassov worked to create the Bosch Tarot. The quaint, the puzzling, the mildly amusing, the simply absurd, and sometimes even the lovely go hand-in-hand with the rawest monstrosity and the most disturbingly grotesque images. For those of us planted firmly in the 20th century, many of the feelings and thoughts portrayed by these scenes have been buried under centuries of rationality and logic. Awe and anxiety, dread and desire -- the images in this deck provide a safe place to explore the unimaginable and hence, to face our own deepest fears. The warm colors invite the reader to enter this bizarre dream world, consider the lessons to learned, and divine the unwritten future. All the cards are titled in Italian, English, French, German, and Spanish. Throughout both the Major and Minor Arcana, the amazing illustrations are a treasure in and of themselves, a deck for collectors and readers alike.

The tarot cards are often seen as a mirror of what you are experiencing in your life. When a card comes up in a reading, it encourages you to look inside yourself to look for areas where this may resonate. Using Tarot for personal growth helps you to tap into your unconscious - the wise, intuitive part of you. Tarot provides the space you need to dig deep and reflect on what's happening in the present moment, rather than getting lost in the past or future. Find Your Power: Tarot will show you how to harness your inner power, help you see where your true potential lies and most importantly, it will show you that it is always possible to make a change and create a life you love. Use this book to articulate and uncover those hidden abilities by giving you a new perspective of yourself. It can also help you direct your energy towards your goals, or even to give them more clarity.

This kit is a Tarot classic, combining inspiring, luminous illustrations that make the symbolism of the cards easy to grasp with a guidebook that clarifies the mysteries and symbolism of the Tarot and encourages users as they embark on their own journey of self-discovery with the cards. Author David Fontana's twin perspectives as Tarot expert and psychologist make this deck the most accessible and useful on the market. A highly respected psychologist with an abiding interest in the connection between symbols and the deeper levels of the unconscious, he was captivated by the way in which the Tarot communicates through universal visual symbolism. In the guidebook, he explains how focusing on Tarot symbols can provide us with keys to the vast amount of instinctive patterns of thought and behaviour that is normally inaccessible to our conscious minds, but which determines much of who we are and what we can become. Thus, accessing our unconscious through the Tarot can play a crucial role in our psychological and spiritual development. The kit contains: * The 22 Major Arcana cards and 56 Minor Arcana cards * An 80pp guidebook that gives insight into the history, symbolism and psychology of the Tarot, explains how to integrate the Tarot into your own life for self-discovery and positive change, and provides traditional layouts to guide you in your journey
