Sacred Art of Tarot is a beautiful, deluxe edition by a best-selling author for reading all of the important elements, symbols, and meanings of every tarot card.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Learn and master the intuitive art of tarot reading with this lushly designed and comprehensive, yet thoroughly approachable, reference.

Featuring vibrant, full-colour illustrations, a gorgeous foil-detailed cover, elegant painted edges, and a handy ribbon marker, Sacred Art of Tarot provides all the history and knowledge you need to read the cards with confidence in one stunning volume. Whether you're new to tarot or an experienced reader looking to deepen your interpretation skills, author and tarot expert Liz Dean provides the clear, concise guidance you seek. Adapted from her best-selling The Ultimate Guide to Tarot and The Ultimate Guide to Tarot Spreads, you'll find:

  • A wide-ranging introduction to tarotβ€”its history, the benefits of reading tarot, and an overview of the cards
  • Detailed interpretations for each card of the Major and Minor Arcana, including their symbolism and meaning, reversed meaning, and links to astrology, kabbala, numerology, and chakras
  • Step-by-step guides for attuning, cleansing, and protecting your deck and creating a space for your readings
  • A wealth of options for card layouts, including the classic tarot spreads used for hundreds of yearsβ€”Celtic Cross; Past, Present, Future; Astrological Week, Month, and Year Ahead; and the Chakra Spreadβ€”plus, a mini-layout to try for each of the 22 Major Arcana cards
  • Unique tarot spreads based on the questions most often asked of professional tarot readers and teachers, organized by subject, with more than 50 new and classic tarot card layouts for love, money, and success that can help when reading for yourself and others
  • Appendices listing individual card correspondences for astrology, Kabbala and the Tree of Life pathways, chakras, and crystals

If you're a beginner, you'll find you can easily begin doing readings. If you're an advanced tarotist, you will enjoy the challenge of the more complex layouts. Along the way, you will learn how to combine the three essential ingredients of a great tarot reading: knowing the meaning of the cards, how to lay them out, and trusting the intuitive messages the images often spark within us during a reading. This synthesis is the true magic of tarot.

Wherever you are on your tarot journey, you will delight in discovering new ways to see the story of your lifeβ€”and to have your important questions answered through these magical cards. For every tarot reading journey, Sacred Art of Tarot is a must-have companion.
