Fun fact

Corsi succeeds brilliantly in revitalizing tarot for the modern eye, offering a visually arresting experience that stimulates the imagination. It shines for those seeking inspiration and artistic depth in their readings. However, traditionalists preferring the subtle, symbolic clarity of Rider-Waite may find the dense, chaotic imagery disorienting. It occupies a unique niche as a bridge between contemporary art and esoteric practice, best suited for readers who value aesthetic intensity alongside spiritual inquiry.

Decent

This edition finally does the material justice. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Happy enough with the purchase.

Solid edition

This has been on my wishlist for months. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. The font runs small in the appendices. Solid, if not essential.
