Synopsis

This book is for spiritual seekers, who will find the Tarot a new and beneficial tool to unlock the mysteries of the universe, as well as for lovers of divination, who seek to unlock the full meanings of the cards. In it, Rachel Pollack uses symbols and myths to illuminate the hidden mysteries and spiritual truths of the Tarot. She takes listeners on magical journeys through the Tarot, through the lens of mythology, folklore, Kabbalah, Joseph Campbell-style mythography, and more. Listeners interested in esoteric spirituality and history, as well as art and divination, will find much food for thought, as well as entertainment. This book, which was previously published in 2002 under the title Forest of Souls: A Walk Through the Tarot, is suitable for Tarot masters, but because of the author’s engaging, lively style, it’s accessible to newcomers too.

This came at a perfect time, when I doubted my calling as a Tarotist and my interest in the cards.

They are useful pictures to make difficult abs......more
