Description
The Tarot: A Historical and Practical Guide to its Origins and Divination. The Tarot deck has a rich and complex history, often misunderstood as originating in ancient Egypt. In reality, its development in medieval and Renaissance Europe was influenced by Hermetic, alchemical, and Neoplatonic traditions. Robert Place explores the Tarot's true origins, weaving together reliable historiography with a practical understanding of its mystical dimensions. Place presents techniques for reading and interpreting the cards, offering new and valuable ways to unlock their intuitive help and divinatory guidance. His approach is accessible to both seasoned practitioners and newcomers, using a simple three-card spread as a starting point.
