Description
Book Synopsis
A new edition of A.E. Waite's classic The Pictorial Key to the Tarot that explores tarot's radical political potential and its usefulness for the left. A.E. Waite's The Pictoral Key to the Tarot has been a mainstay among tarot reference guides for more than a century. As an acclaimed occultist and scholar of the Kabbalah, Waite collaborated with artist Pamela Colman Smith to create what has become possibly the world's most famous tarot deck. The pictoral key offers a rich introduction to the history and symbology of the modern tarot in addition to providing a detailed explanation of the 78 cards found in the original Smith-Waite deck. Readers will enjoy an in-depth exploration of the tarot's secrets while gaining insight to the conventional meanings and reversed readings associated with each card. Repeater's re-release of this classic text contains a forward by Sereptie (Craig Laubach), creator of The Philosopher's Tarot, celebrating the importance of the tarot to artists, activists, and others seeking to transform a world fraught with material and psychic oppressions. This expanded edition also includes an appendix featuring a quick reference guide to common keywords and interpretations.About the Author
