The Authentic Tarot Discovering Your Inner Self
The Authentic Tarot Discovering Your Inner Self by Thomas Saunders, published by Watkins Media Limited on January 31, 2017, is a 224-page exploration of the Tarot as a tool for self-development and self-realization. This book challenges the common perception of Tarot cards as mere fortune-telling devices, presenting them instead as a symbolic language that narrates an allegorical story of our life journeys through a deck of 78 cards.
Readers will find a detailed decoding of the Ancien Tarot de Marseille, which Saunders argues retains the greatest integrity for its original purpose. The book explains the symbolism of each card, including both the Major Arcana and the fifty-six Minor cards, while illustrating how this ancient tool can enhance self-awareness and provide insight into one’s place in the world. With a focus on themes such as divination and personal growth, this edition serves as a guide for those seeking to deepen their understanding of the Tarot’s wisdom.
Official synopsis Publisher
The Authentic Tarot challenges the popular view of the cards as merely a device for fortune-telling – the Tarot deck is a ‘book’ of 78 cards that tells an allegorical story of our quest in life, using a symbolic language of archetypal pictograms and numbers. In its truest form it is an ancient tool for self-development – and, indeed, self-realization. Thomas Saunders decodes what may be the oldest known complete deck of cards – the Ancien Tarot de Marseille – which retains the greatest integrity for their original function. He explains the symbolism of each card and the relationships between the cards, interpreting not only the Major Arcana, but also the significance of the fifty-six Minor cards, and suggests how the wisdom of the Tarot can help us to self-awareness, an understanding of where we are on life’s path, and a sense of our place in the world.
