Publisher's Synopsis
There are about 1000 Tarot decks from which to choose in the marketplace, each with its own unique spin on the symbolism and art of this ancient occult tool. This guidebook aims to take the mystery out of this selection.;Different decks are better for different purposes. Most people are familiar with the Tarot's use as a fortune-telling device, and this area is dealt with in the book. But the Tarot can also be used for meditation, astral journeys, and magick. A deck that is useful for divination may be too distracting for pathworking and a deck suited for magical workings many not be useful in mediatations. In many case, two or three decks may be required. This introduction to the subject includes a chapter on the Tarot's history, as well as how-to chapters on divination, meditation, pathworking, dreamworking, magick, and collecting.
