Tarot. A Brief Guide to Card Interpretation

The Marseille Tarot deck, the only authentic and genuine one, has been in circulation since the 15th century. These cards, quite obviously, have an esoteric origin. Essentially, they represent a fairly comprehensive collection of universal symbols. The author details the emblematic meanings of the cards, extracting from them pagan and Christian symbols, hermetic signs, hieroglyphs, and graphic structures. He demonstrates how these elements create several levels of understanding and interpretation of the cards. Parallels with works of painting and architecture lead the reader to an understanding of the most important archetypes, expanding their associative possibilities. All of this ultimately forms the skill of the diviner and undoubtedly assists in practical work.

This book is valuable not only for Tarot enthusiasts. This work will be useful to a wide range of readers as it provides the opportunity to perceive works of art more fully.
