Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom draws on mythology and esoteric traditions and delves deeply into the symbolism and ideas of each card. It also gives the cards a modern psychological slant based on the pictures rather than a system of occult symbolism. This endlessly useful reference tool provides a concise history of tarot, introduces common spreads, and is a clear and readable book for both the beginning and advanced tarot student. |

This classic is the first book to explore and promote the concept of reading the cards for personal insight-for yourself-with detailed instructions how to do so. It uses meditations, rituals, spreads, mandalas, visualizations, dialogues, charts, affirmations, and other activities to help you establish your own relationship with the cards. I highly recommend anything written by Mary K. Greer. |

How do you read reversed tarot cards, the ones that appear upside down in a spread? In The Complete Book of Tarot Reversals, author Mary K.

In fact, Greer claims that reversals offer a portal to the more mystical and esoteric influences in our lives. |
