More DescriptionESSENCE OF THE TAROT explores the 22 cards of the Major Arcana'the spiritual foundation of the Tarot. It takes the reader on a journey from ancient Egypt'the birthplace of the Tarot'into modern times, providing an understanding of each card in a way that can be related to everyday life. It approaches the ancient wisdom of the Tarot in a practical and accessible way, making it applicable by anyone seeking solutions to life's daily problems and dilemmas. It differentiates itself from other Tarot books by interlacing ancient wisdom with modern insight. Chapter five ?Ancient Wisdom,? explores the major themes of each card or archetype of the Tarot. It contains insight from many sources, including astrology, mythology, the Kabbalah, and modern psychology, and focuses on the more meditative aspect of each card. Chapter six, ?Modern Reflections,? reads similar to a diary, drawing analogies from modern cultural experiences such as literature, film, and daily life in the 21st century. It presents the stories behind the images, which helps to make the cards real and alive.
