Honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm impressed. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. Glad I finally picked this up.
I collect works on this subject and this is a worthy addition. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. Great value for what you get.
Finally got around to ordering this. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. A text you study rather than simply read. Recommended if you're ready to do the work.
Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Happy enough with the purchase.
Long-time student of the esoteric here. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Good, with the caveats above.
I keep coming back to this one. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. Would buy from this store again.
Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Good, with the caveats above.
Dore successfully demystifies tarot by anchoring its symbolism in behavioral science and therapy, offering a refreshing alternative to esoteric jargon. The approach is inviting and practical, encouraging a gentle, non-judgmental interaction with the cards. However, this book may disappoint readers looking for rigorous divinatory techniques, historical accuracy, or complex mystical correspondences. It is not suited for those who view tarot strictly as a predictive art or who prefer dense, academic occult texts. Instead, it serves best as a companion for emotional exploration rather than a manual for divination.
