Using the trumps of the classical Marseilles Tarot, Cherry Gilchrist invites the reader to experience the Tarot in a direct, fresh, and uncluttered way.
This in-depth examination of the twenty-two cards of the Major Arcana includes "The Fool's Mirror," a new method for laying out the cards, as well as hints for using the Tarot to gain deeper levels of awareness. Cherry Gilchrist offers ways to approach each card, absorb it, and understand its essence. Readers are encouraged to relate this essence to personal experience as the most enduring and rewarding way to prepare for reading the cards. Echoing the medieval carnival processions of "Triumphs" through the streets of Italy, this engaging book celebrates the Tarot Cards as a magical heritage that has been passed down to us today through an unbroken line.
