Descrizione:
For hundreds of years, ordinary playing cards (minor or lesser arcana) and Tarots (major arcana or trumps) have been used to portray the world: they narrate and explore it. The major arcana contain 22 mysterious images (no suits), while the 56 ordinary playing cards (fourteen for each of its four suits) form the minor arcana. All 78 cards or blades are seen as archetypes of the human cycle; they express, symbolically, the meaning of the felicitous or ominous experiences of individual journeys through life on earth.
This book aims at providing readers with a basic knowledge of the Tarots (historical background, means, symbolism), as well as with an easy method for reading them availing of the divinatory principles in practice. With a little exercise, anyone can learn the art of divination.
