Just checking it out- too spiritual for what I look for in a tarot book ( ) I just read this book for the second time. I find the second half--starting at about chapter 9--much more engaging than the first, probably because the first half focuses so much on Christianity and "readings for God" and uses the author's Shining Tribe Tarot almost exclusively. It is inspiring to get an example of card readings beyond "should I change jobs" and "will I get married", but I'm not a fan of the author's deck (the artwork doesn't work for me) and as a non-Christian I don't really identify with the context of this section. The second half of the book is more inclusive, and is made up of passages that read like meditations on certain cards. I can't help but wish that the entire book had followed this theme/format as I find it much more interesting and useful. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Take a Magical Mystery Tour. Join celebrated Tarot author, artist, and scholar Rachel Pollack on a magical walk through the mysteries, archetypes, and dream-like images of the Tarot. In the tradition of Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell, Rachel draws upon symbols, myths, and folk tales both ancient and modern, to illuminate the spiritual truths behind the Tarot's symbols. The Forest of Souls unfolds like a dream, in a series of musings upon the confluence of the sacred and the mundane. How can a simple deck of 78 cards become keys unlocking life's greatest secrets? While the most common use of Tarot is for divination, Rachel shows how to use the cards for readings of an entirely different nature. Asking improbable, even impossible questions, she plays with the sacred possibilities and answers that the Tarot gives us. What nourishes my soul? What is soul? What is Tarot? What plan did God follow to create the universe? We now know that the Tarot was almost certainly not originally designed to include Kabbalistic and other occult correspondences. Yet such systems can greatly enhance our understanding of and relationship with the cards. Embracing paradox and non-linear thinking allows us to push the boundaries of the known and venture into the unknown. It is in that sacred space that we open ourselves to wonder and mystery.
