Why? Because the cards are inexpensive and easy to carry—a perfect travelling companion and, therefore, an invitation to a journey inward and out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHumans are drawn to playing games and feel driven to find meaning in the chaos of paradoxical signs. The vivid iconography of the \"arcanas\" speaks to us like no other language, moving us to the core, weaving through each card a universal story, a metaphorical pathway of transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis 400-page book presents, for the first time, a close look at 500 years of figurative card decks created or used for fortune-telling, divinations, and oracle purposes. It explores, one card at a time, their iconographic roots at the crossroads of the medieval imaginarium, Western esoteric wisdom, folklore, and also contemporary art and pop culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith hundreds of images drawn from more than 100 decks, rarely published and often forgotten in library archives, it offers the first visual history of tarot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46833536696556,"sku":"9781419756375","price":65.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/13331283482693.jpg?v=1758464915","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/tarot-and-divination-cards-by-laetitia-barbier-9781419756375","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
