Synopsis
Use the symbology of the elements to help understand your life.
How the Tarot began is not known. Many suggest that it evolved from an ancient book containing the prototype of a perfect spiritual journey. Others see it as an extension of astrology and celestial interpretations. And some view it as merely a game with uncanny relevance to life and life events. The Elemental Tarot is the perfect distillation of all these thoughts. An extraordinary deck of full-color cards, it revitalizes centuries of mystical ideas and generations of symbolic designs. No matter how you choose to use it, may its beauty and meaning serve to heighten your own awareness of life and its possibilities.
The Elemental Tarot contains:
* Twenty-two allegorical cards representing the Major Arcana
* Fifty-six illustrated Minor Arcana cards divided into four suits
* Easy-to-comprehend symbols requiring no memorization
* 128-page instructional book featuring meanings and interpretations of each card
* Three classic card layouts plus sample readings

The system reworks the traditional tarot around the four elements, with the Minor Arcana divided into suits of Water, Earth, Air and Fire, and the court cards recast as Daughter, Son, Mother and Father of each element. The twenty-two Major Arcana are treated as allegorical figures, and the imagery throughout draws on astrological correspondences, world deities and Egyptian hieroglyphic symbols. Card designs are by Smith and Astrop, with the paintings executed by Caroline Smith in a bold, high-colour style, the symbolism worked into figures, garments, borders and backgrounds. The accompanying book sets out the meaning and interpretation of each card and includes three card layouts for reading. Seller Inventory # OA-250603-shelf-2-c184
