The Golden Dawn is one of the most influential and respected
systems of magic in the world. Inspired by the Esoteric Order of
the Golden Dawn, this magical tarot captures the esoteric
spirituality and mysticism of an ancient yet vibrant tradition.
This stunning tarot offers a path--built on the tenets of high
magic--that leads to transformation and enlightenment.
Boxed deck includes 78 full-color cards and instruction
booklet
Publisher Review #1: The concept of this deck is fascinating. A
knowledgeable deck designer and historian, Giordano Berti, used
primary source material to create instructions and direction for an
artist who has not viewed other versions of Golden Dawn or Golden
Dawn-tradition-based decks. This allows for an entirely fresh
composition and depiction of these meanings, including illustrated
pips. This deck moves away from numeric pips, expanding on the
original design (just as Waite and Smith did) to create the first
truly all-pictorial Golden Dawn deck What an exciting technique to
create a deck that is based on a specific foundation but not
derivative. Is this what the tarot world has been waiting for? Is
this a step in evolution for tarot, a way to break out of the clone
rut? Time and usage by readers will tell. . . . read more.
Publisher Review #2: Before discussing the deck itself, I'd like
to look at the LWB (Little White Booklet) that accompanies the
deck. Because Lo Scarabeo sends decks all over the world, their
LWBs are in multiple languages, resulting, unfortunately, in even
less information than is found in decks from other publishers. This
one, however, uses its limited space very effectively. It doesn't
describe the symbolism on each card (you can look at the card), but
does give the divinatory meaning based on the Golden Dawn system.
The creative force behind the deck, Giordano Bertia, only gave
basic information about the meanings of the cards to artist
Patrizio Evangelisti, so on this basis, the deck is a Golden Dawn
deck. The LWB also includes an original six-card spread called the
"Method of the Rosacroce." It has a unique method of selecting the
cards for the layout, but the meaning of the positions for the
cards is fairly mundane. . . . . read more.
Tarot Card Combinations is a unique, comprehensive and highly
practical presentation of interpreting the tarot that has helped
thousands master the ancient divination. Dorothy Kelly's
easy-to-understand approach shares everything one needs to know to
unlock the story presented when the cards are drawn. Reading tarot
cards one after another never reveals the rich meaning of the cards
considered together. Use this book to unlock the depth and meaning.
Fill your heart with abundance and ease by uniting tarot with the
modern mindfulness movement. Combining the card archetypes and
meanings with today's well-researched methods of meditation, this
groundbreaking book shows you how to find amazing insights through
compassion. Mindful Tarot cultivates our capacity to live and love
what is unknown and unresolved. It is a practice of patience and
openness, encouraging you to embrace the present moment: complete,
lavish, and unconstrained. Lisa Freinkel Tishman teaches you to
develop skills on three levels: mindful awareness of yourself and
your querent, a deeper relationship with your cards, and a
transformed understanding of the tarot system. She also provides
exercises, analyses of all 78 cards, and step-by-step examples of
her own daily practice.
