Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

What's on the cards? Most of us would love to know what the future holds (so long as it's good), and consult our horoscope to see if we're in for a lottery payday. But more and more people are now turning to the Tarot for guidance, too. And as the authors of this intriguing book suggest, it has become very much part of a wider spiritual search.

However, the Tarot was not originally designed for the art of prediction, argue Drane, Clifford and Johnson. Instead, the cards were packed full of Christian symbolism to help us understand the spiritual backdrop to life. With a revealing look at the history of the different packs, together with illustrations and descriptions of each card's meaning (and suggested examples to try), this book shows that there is far more to be gleaned from shuffling the deck than mere fortune telling.

"As we explore our personal spirituality, the Tarot's symbols evoke some powerful questions: How can I be the best person I can possibly be? How can I find my place in the world? Who am I anyway, and who might I become? How can I reconnect my soul to the divine source of all life?" These are the questions that are being asked afresh by a spiritually hungry society, and while most people would associate this practice with the occult, the Tarot in fact provides Christian help for the journey.

Who'd have thought it? It¹s a fascinating twist--and one that even the local clairvoyant may not have seen coming. --Brian Draper



Product Description

Tarot cards have long held a fascination for those interested in spiritual experimentation, and a horror for many church-goers. But where do the mysterious images on the Tarot cards come from? This book reveals that many of the Tarot symbols have their roots in what is perhaps the most unlikely place - the Bible. The authors go on to explore the links with religious phenomenology, folklore, Jungian analysis and archetypes from the world of literary fantasy. They demonstrate how the symbols are expressions of the spiritual needs of people of all times and all places, and they investigate the swell of interest in the Tarot, particularly within the New Age movement.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most insightful book about the tarot that I've ever read, 9 Oct 2001
By A Customer
As a spiritually searching person, I think I must have read just about every book on the tarot there has ever been - and then some. I started this one thinking there could be nothing else to learn. Man, was I wrong! Right from the first page it's distinctive and different, and by the time I got to the last section of 'spiritual exercises' I was really into it. Every chapter is just overflowing with new insights, not just into the tarot and its history and meaning, but into the meaning of life itself. In addition to that, it's easy to read and helpfully illustrated. I've only come across one of the three authors before (John Drane), but I'll certainly be looking out for other books by them all. These guys are definitely something special! They've helped me tune into myself, and I have to say, into a new experience of God, that I think will change my life for ever. I've been around a bit, so I know what I'm talking about. I can't recommend it highly enough.

3.0 out of 5 stars Easy Read, But Slightly Boring, 31 Jan 2003
By "gmgjkfjkg" - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This starts of as a highly interesting book on the Tarot. It gives a brief history of the tarot which is good and exciting with some novel information. Who would have thought there was so much Christian symbolism in the Tarot? Unfortunately, after the history chapter the book declines into mediocrity. The pictures of the cards in the Major Arcana are very poor quality and are in black and white. This makes it harder to get a true feel for the Tarot. There was also no pictures of the cards that make up the Minor Arcana.

This book comes from an unusual perspective in that it is written by Christian authors. The book however is not aimed at Christians. It is aimed at spiritual searchers who may already have had some experience with the Tarot but didn't realise its Christian connections.
