Tarot Mysteries: Rediscovering the Real Meanings of the Cards

There's never been a more wide-ranging, eye-opening, and profoundly knowledgeable illustrated history of the Tarot. Every page uncovers fresh insights on the subject, because best-selling author Jonathan Dee's unique focus is on why the cards have the meanings they do. To that end, he returns to the cards' origins, and leads us on a fascinating journey through areas as diverse as Hebrew mysticism (the Qabalah), Celtic mythology (the Four Grail Hallows), astrology, and Renaissance theater. This deep background sets the stage for comprehensive and unusual interpretations of all the Major and Minor Arcana: the Suit of Wands, Suit of Coins, Suit of Swords, Suit of Cups, all the Court Cards, and more. No matter how well you think you know Tarot, this enlightening study will open your eyes to new possibilities.

Among the books Jonathan Dee has written are Book of Prophecies, Chronicles of Ancient Egypt, Isis: Queen of Egyptian Magic, and Practical Astrology the Easy Way. He is also co-author, with Sasha Fenton, of the Moon Sign Kit.
