TAROT AND DIVINATION CARDS: A VISUAL ARCHIVE (HB)

Used for self-exploration or divination, tarot has, for more than 500 years, been the most popular and accessible of all esoteric tools and features widely today in mainstream culture. This is a close look at figurative card decks created or used for fortune telling, divinations, and oracle purposes, and explores their iconographic roots at the crossroads of the medieval imaginarium, Western esoteric wisdom, folklore, contemporary art and pop culture. With hundreds of images drawn from more than 100 decks, this book offers the first visual history of tarot.
