Used for self-exploration or divination, Tarot has, for more than a
500 years, been the most popular and accessible of all esoteric
tools, looming large in today's mainstream culture. Why? Because
the cards are inexpensive and easy to carry-a 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 "arcanas" speak to us like no other language, moving us to the
core, weaving through each cards a universal story, a metaphorical
pathway of transformation. This 400 page book presents for the
first time a close look at 500 years of figurative card decks
created or used for fortune telling, divinations, and oracle
purposes and will explore, one card at the time, their iconographic
roots at the cross-roads 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, it will
offer the first visual history of tarot.
