This rare and inciteful book is a must read for both novices and adepts of history and the art of card divination! I found this infomative and delightful book engaging on a human and peronalized level unfound in books of this genre. The illustrations alone are worth the cover price!
I was amazed at the author, Ana Cortez, was able to take a subject so seemingly complex and break it down into a simple, yet concisive, step-by-step format. The accompaning essays (stoires)found throughout the book by C. J. Freeman (who, by the way, is the illstrator of the beautifully intriguing accompained deck of playing cards!) are historically and mythologically enchanting!
They succiently bring together in a down-to-earth, easliy understandable way, the corresponding education.
Fascinating, enghlighting, and informative. A MUST!

This book is one you will want to keep on hand for reference and inspiration. The history of the cards, their meaning and a practical methodolgy for divination is brought to light by author Ana Cortez.

Each mystical card is beautifully illustrated by artist CJ Freeman.

The writing contains detail and insight on card symbolism and the included quotes, interesting essays and commentary thoughout the book give the cards a voice of their own. A boxed set of cards is available at the website.
