Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom-Rachel Pollack (Hardcover)

*Special Hardcover Edition A Tarot Journey to Self-Awareness (A New Edition of the Tarot Classic) “Essential reading for the beginner and a classic that tarot masters will return to time and time again, this is the book to have in your library.”—Benebell Wen, author of Holistic Tarot When it was first published nearly 40-years-ago, Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom was an instant classic and inspired generations of tarot students. Often referred to as the "bible of tarot books" it has now helped to launch the "tarot renaissance" we're seeing today. Drawing on mythology and esoteric traditions and delving deeply into the symbolism and ideas of each card, the book offers a modern psychological interpretation of the tarot archetypes rather than a system of esoteric symbolism. This book provides: *A concise history of tarot *An introduction to common tarot spreads *A clear and endlessly useful reference for both beginning and advanced tarot students
