Reveals the hidden current of symbolic meanings and connections between the 22 major cards; a must-have for any serious tarot reader that is written in accessible language for the novice as well.

Unlocking the Secret Language of Tarot sets itself apart from other tarot books by teaching readers how to translate the pictorial symbolism from one deck to another, strengthening the reader's ability to recognise specific icons in any deck and in the world around them. It can be used as both a reference book and as a series of guided meditations on the individual symbols.

Each of the seven chapters contains a set of symbols that share a common theme. Extensive research provides readers with the lore and mythological meanings of the symbols to help foster intuitive powers. The explanation of imagery is both insightful and eclectic.

Unlocking the Secret Language of Tarot reveals a hidden current of understanding and connection between the 22 majors of the tarot deck. Each chapter ends with an Integration Lesson and a special Symbol Spread to deepen an understanding of the cards. Unlocking the Secret Language of Tarot brings imagery and intuition into a course of study of the tarot.

Unlocking the Secret Language of Tarot was previously published in 2008 as The Secret Language of the Tarot (9781578634163).
