The Authentic Tarot by Thomas Saunders

Discover how to use the Tarot for its true purpose--guiding you along your present path--and not for predicting the future. In its truest form, the Tarot is an ancient tool for self-development--and, indeed, self-realization. Now expert Tarot teacher and broadcaster Thomas Saunders decodes the oldest known complete deck of cards--the 'Ancient Tarot de Marseille'--which retains the greatest integrity for the Tarot's original function. He explains the symbolism of all the cards, charts their relationships to one another, and suggests how the wisdom of the Tarot can be a daily resource for each of us to find our way to self-knowledge. Challenges the popular view of the cards as merely a device for fortune-telling. Explains in detail the "vocabulary" of the symbolism, interpreting not only the Major Arcana, but also the significance of the fifty-six minor Arcana cards. Includes easy-to-use charts for reading a twenty-one-card spread. Helps us to self-awareness, and understanding of where we are on life's path, and a sense of our place in the world.
