Tarot. The Library of Esoterica
Description
TASCHEN's Library of Esotericism explores humanity's creative ways of understanding the divine. The first volume is devoted to the secret history of the Tarot and contains over 500 cards and original works from around the world that trace the evolution of this centuries-old art form.
Jessica Hundley guides us through the symbolic depth of the Tarot, which not only serves as a medium for self-exploration but has inspired artists such as Salvador Dalí and Niki de Saint Phalle. This visual compendium, arranged in the order of the Major and Minor Arcana, includes decks by nearly 100 contemporary artists. Text excerpts from Éliphas Lévi, Carl Jung and others, as well as a guide to card reading, round out the book.
Tarot reminds us of the universal longing for meaning and connection to the divine.
