• My Book Review of The Complete Book of Tarot Reversals.

In this book, we discover deeper details of each of the cards through a historical and comparative perspective. We see how the meanings and associations of each card changed over time and how the understanding of the symbols has evolved. At the end of each Major Arcana card, we also have a spread that will bring the card’s dimensions into deep focus.

Take your understanding of the Tarot Cards to the next level, by understanding the deep wisdom hidden within the card images.

Read along as Carl Jung talks about the inner self and the symbols that populate not only the subconscious but also the world around us.

Go deep with understanding the imagery and symbolism that is present around us. This is the book that will open your eyes to the various ways and methods in which symbols can be applied and used to convey meanings compactly and precisely.

It gives a quick glance through the major myths from across various cultures across the globe, and introduces you to the deeper aspects of cultures and traditions across the world. From here, you can decide where and how to go deep with the stories, tales, symbols and their deeper psychological inputs.

You may see strange parallels between the Journey of the Fool as seen in the Major Arcana of the Tarot, and the journey outlined in this book.

Explore the myths and symbols that the hero encounters during his adventures — his quest, and how he fulfills it. Many interesting themes are explored here, and provide a lot of deep insight.

This book outlines the epic “Hero’s Journey” that are the mainstay of so many heroic tales that have entertained us and taught us about our desire for adventure, heroism, and the values of kindness, learning, and understanding.

While many of the ‘meanings’ may be what you’ve learned before, the book provides very Jungian bits of insights into the imagery, which is pretty interesting.

If you wanted to see how the psychological aspects of the Tarot imagery intersect with that of Jung’s ideas, this is the book to read!

While it may not be necessary to be an expert in Western Astrology to understand the connections, it does prove helpful if you are.

This book will present evidence that will make you look beyond the supposedly mystical origins of the Tarot Cards.

After looking through the history of the various symbols and imagery, the author walks you through the interpretations of each of the cards, and a couple of example spreads.
