In words and images we’re shown how to explore unknown territory—in ourselves and in the world outside us, and in the sacred mysteries and riddles of existence. Using symbols and myths to illuminate the hidden mysteries and spiritual truths of the tarot, Rachel Pollack explores the connections and relationships between tarot and such wide-ranging subjects as mythology, mythography, folklore, Kabbalah, divination, quantum physics, time travel, and more. This book is a dazzling journey through the mysteries of tarot—suitable for tarot masters, but accessible to newcomers, too.
