by Angeles Arrien
In this updated edition of The Tarot Handbook, Angeles Arrien takes tarot beyond the limits of the fortune-telling realm and shows us how this time-honored application is both a visual and symbolic map of consciousness and a source of ancient wisdom. A significant piece of Tarot literature, it contains a multitude of charts, spreads, illustrations of the Thoth Deck, and other tools for anyone looking for insights into personal and spiritual development.
An anthropologist who specializes in cross-cultural myths, Angeles Arrien explains that the 78 figures of the Tarot are portraits of archetypes prevalent in the collective human experience. With this realization, Arrien shows you how to look beyond your cultural viewpoints or biases when you approach the Tarot, and thereby deepen the quality and accuracy of your interpretation and expand your awareness of the human psyche.
