You do not learn tarot. Tarot teaches you. - Rabbi Lamed Ben Clifford

For many, the tarot serves as a compass, illuminating the path to their 'true will' and guiding them toward their destiny. If you've ever felt stuck or unsure of which way to turn, the tarot offers a beacon, revealing unseen options and providing clarity on difficult decisions. Now, you have a unique opportunity to master the art of tarot under Lon Milo DuQuette, an internationally recognised authority on tarot and esoteric principles.

You will discover how to interact with the cards, whether new to the tarot or an experienced reader, along with learning the unique colours, correspondences, the basic symbolism of each of the seventy-eight tarot cards, their history, and simple ritual exercises designed to activate and integrate the spiritual forces resident in each individual card. By the end of the book, you'll bring together all the knowledge you've learned to create your own tarot deck—a tangible reflection of your journey and a tool for continued spiritual growth and divinatory practice.

This is an indispensable tarot grimoire that is both accessible and profound. The serious student of Western Mystery Traditions is going to cherish this text. - Benebell Wen, author of I Ching, the Oracle and Holistic Tarot

Few people have explored the underlying dynamics among the qabalistic and tarot correspondences to the extent that Lon DuQuette has. - Mary Greer, author of Tarot for Your Self
