This book will change the way you see the cards.

"For years, Wald and Ruth Ann Amberstone's deep work on the symbols and esoteric traditions of the Rider-Waite-Smith cards has been a legend, the learning and inspiration available only to their students. This book is useful in the deepest possible sense."
--Rachel Pollack, author of Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom and A Walk Through the Forest of Souls

Bringing imagery and intuition into a course of study of the tarot, Unlocking the Secret Language of Tarot sets itself apart from other tarot books by teaching you how to translate the pictorial symbolism from one deck to another, strengthening your ability to recognize specific icons in any deck and in the world around you. It can be used as both a reference book and as a series of guided meditations on the individual symbols.

Each of the seven chapters discusses symbols with a common theme--crowns, pillars, mountains, crosses, etc.--and provides the lore and mythological meanings of each card. The authors also include an integration lesson and a special symbol spread for each chapter to help deepen your understanding of the cards. Written by Ruth Ann and Wald Amberstone, two of the consummate authorities on tarot in the world, this book reveals the hidden current of symbolic meanings and connections in the tarot, unlocking the secrets of the cards to help illuminate every reader's path in life. Previously published as The Secret Language of Tarot, this is an accessible, must-have guide for any tarot reader.
