Turn Experience into Wisdom
Congratulations on choosing Tarot Plain and Simple! You'll find it to be a quick
and reliable guide for any Tarot deck.
Why learn the Tarot? Because it is an excellent method for turning experience
into wisdom. At its essence, the Tarot deals with symbols of the human situation.
By studying the Tarot, we connect our personal situation to the archetypes
portrayed in the cards. As a tool, the Tarot helps to awaken our intuitive self.
Before you begin, it is important to know the basic meanings and symbolism
of the cards. Tarot Plain and Simple offers descriptions for each of the seventy-
eight cards and includes a history of the Tarot and six popular spreads so the
inexperienced reader can interpret the Tarot quickly and reliably.
The author brings a profound understanding of human nature and
psychological conflict to the study of the Tarot. Tarot experts and enthusiasts
will find that his Jungian approach to the card descriptions will transport them to
a deeper level of personal transformation and insight.
Best of luck on your new journey!
