Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom: A Tarot Journey to Self-Awareness (A New Edition of the Tarot Classic)

Paperback – March 1, 2019

by Rachel Pollack (Author)

—Brand New—

The bestselling tarot classic in a new edition with a new preface by the author.

When it was first published nearly 40-years-ago, Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom was an instant classic and inspired generations of tarot students. Often referred to as the "bible of tarot books" it has now helped to launch the "tarot renaissance" we're seeing today. Drawing on mythology and esoteric traditions and delving deeply into the symbolism and ideas of each card, the book offers a modern psychological interpretation of the tarot archetypes rather than a system of esoteric symbolism.

This book provides:

A concise history of tarot

An introduction to common tarot spreads

A clear and endlessly useful reference for both beginning and advanced tarot students
