About this title

Synopsis:

This profusely illustrated book is one of the most complete explorations of the symbolism within the 22 major arcana of the tarot. It's an absolute must for people who are serious about using the tarot as a guide in their psycho-spiritual transformation. The tarot is singular in its ability to encompass the symbolism of several traditions, particularly the cabala and alchemy, and serves as a key to the secret teachings of psyche and spirit. Gad's interpretation and amplification of the cabalistic and alchemical symbolism reveals the wisdom of ages of seekers who have gone before us, who have left us this roadmap to individuation and spiritual attainment. In this new, revised edition, she has provided a section on Kundalini Yoga and the correspondences of the major arcana with the chakras so students may use the tarot for the well-being of the energetic body as well as the spiritual and psychological.
