Description

The ancient origin of Tarot remains as mysterious today as its divinatory use.

Here, for the first time, the strange symbolic designs of the Tarot are analyzed for the Greek reader as allegories that depict both the journey of material and spiritual life, as well as the secret symbolism that reveals to the 'consultant' the past, present, and future.

This important book analyzes, on one hand, the origin of the cards (Egypt, India, China, Morocco) and their formation during the Middle Ages, and on the other hand, their divinatory meaning, accompanied by a complete illustration for each of the 22 cards of the Major Arcana, with illustrations of each figure.
