Synopsis

Because of its characteristic design, which has barely changed in almost 400 years, the Tarot of Marseilles is one of the best-known Tarot decks. However, because of this same design, considered difficult to read, its use becomes a great challenge, being passed over by more modern decks, based on Waite's Tarot.
This book, in addition to tracing a brief history of the Tarot of Marseilles also intends to present a Tarot game method using a questioning technique based on the maieutic method, made famous in the early days of Greek Philosophy by the representation of Socrates made in Plato's books.
100 questions are provided based on the 22 major arcana, the 22 inverted major arcana and the 56 minor arcana, encompassing the 4 suits of the deck, encompassing a question for each logical game possibility of the Tarot of Marseilles.
Therefore, this is a method that allows for use in solo Tarot games and single card games (guide cards), as well as in psychodynamic techniques or famous formats, such as the astrological mandala.
By treating the Tarot of Marseilles cards as questions, it is possible to scrutinize the querent's desires, as well as dialogize the messages coming from the Tarot's spiritual team, moving the enigmatic determinisms of the Oracle to a livelier and more pertinent place as guidance.
