Tarot - The Open Reading

Description

The object of this book is threefold. First, it is an introduction to Tarot cards and their reading, bringing together historical, philosophical, psychological and magical considerations. Second, it is a practical guide to the “open reading” method, based on looking at the card illustrations rather than learning fixed interpretations by heart. Third, it is a handbook for reading the Tarot de Marseille, which is the classical version of the traditional Tarot. It can also provide you with a deeper understanding of other Tarot decks, which are new adaptations of the same original symbols. Whether you are a novice or an experienced Tarot reader, and whatever deck or reading method you are now using, this book is for you. for more details and additional materials to read and download, see the book's accompanying website http://www.cbdtarot.com .
