You've hit this right on. It's no "snooze fest" but an excellent addition to any tarot library. In fact, it's a foundational volume for the serious tarot enthusiast.
Thank you for this great review. I just got Alejandro Jodorowsky's "The Way of Tarot" which I am absolutely smitten with but that book focuses solely on the Tarot de Marseilles whereas this one looks all encompassing. I definitely have to get this. Thank you! :)
My dream is to write a book on each card of the Tarot. :) Well, of course not 800 pages long each.. :) But I feel like I don't have the wisdom yet to do it. I'll probably delve into it when I get old. :)
