Tarot is a valuable instrument to reveal the future to you, to understand the past and the present.
More than 300,000 copies sold of the first publication released in 1991. This book contains images of a Spanish European tarot, the Divination Tarot, which is a few years older than the Marseille Tarot.
Discover Tarot origins and the methods for reading the cards
Although there are hardly any differences between the two, this tarot works mainly with the color blue, rather than red, and the sensations are deeper according to the author. This book is a logical consequence of the investigation carried out in the sources of traditional occultism. It contains a clear explanation of the ancestral knowledge of the most diverse earthly and celestial matters. The Tarot has always occupied a preferential place to translate the destiny of the human being and is an invaluable instrument to reveal the future and understand the past and present with illustrative clarity and conceptual conciseness. The Great Book of Tarot explains its most remote origins and the different methods of reading the cards, including numerous examples of readings to teach oneself, which makes this book a clear, enjoyable, useful and complete work.
The author, Margarita Arnal Moscardó, discovered after long investigations, that inverted cards do not exist as this was an 18th century invention to confuse, in a vain attempt to control knowledge again.
