The Path of Tarot. Volume 2

Alejandro Jodorowsky, who began exploring Tarot back in the early 1950s, reveals it as something much more than just a tool for prediction. Tarot is, first and foremost, a powerful tool for self-discovery, representing the structure of the soul.
The Path of Tarot shows that the entire deck is structured like a temple or mandala: both a representation of the world and an image of the divine. The authors use the sacred art of the original Marseille Tarot, created during the time of religious intolerance in the 11th century, to restore the connection with the roots of Western esoteric wisdom of Tarot. They explain that Tarot is a "nomadic cathedral," the parts of which—78 cards, or Arcanas—should always be considered while being aware of the whole structure. This understanding is crucial for the complete grasp of the hermetic symbolism of Tarot.
The authors explore the secret connections behind the hierarchy of the cards and the correspondences between suits and human energies. Jodorowsky and Costa bring the art of Tarot to an unimaginable depth. Drawing on their experience in tarotology—a new psychological approach utilizing the symbolism and figurative language of Tarot to create a reflective image of personality—they offer a powerful tool for self-discovery, creativity, and healing.
