Many people are curious about tarot but feel overwhelmed by learning the meanings of 78 cards. In this cutting-edge book, tarot expert Kerry Ward deciphers nine key cards from the major arcana, to give you the most insightful readings possible. Each of the nine tarot ‘cards’ in the book features a guide card that tackles a certain theme. For instance, the Hermit can be used to get to grips with self-enlightenment. The Hermit sits in a cave, which is illuminated by a glowing lantern revealing glittering obsidian crystal-hewed walls, a dark, deep pool at the back of the cave which echoes with running water trickling down somewhere deeper into the mountain.
