Fascinating for beginners and often offering completely new, surprising perspectives even for experts, Tarot is presented here in a unique, holistic interpretation. This captivating foundational work is much more than just another book on the subject. The cards of the major and minor arcana are explained and interpreted as inherently interconnected. Alejandro Jodorowsky and Marianne Costa consciously return to the original form of the cards: he works with the probably oldest complete deck, the Tarot de Marseille. They convincingly demonstrate that the cards were not conceived as separate symbols, but intentionally designed as parts of a whole. From this understanding, they develop a Tarot mandala from the entirety of all cards in the form of a sun wheel, the symbol of the creative vortex. Naturally, each of the 78 cards is also addressed with its visual language.
