The Tarot Handbook

This updated edition of The Tarot Handbook, with a new introduction by the author, is an exciting guide for either beginning or longtime students of the Tarot. 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 seventy-eight 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.
