The Mythic Tarot

Product Information

First published in 1989, here you will find the journey of the Tarot cast from the characters of ancient Greek myth. The New Mythic Tarot book explains everything you need to know to become an accomplished tarot reader. Have tried quite a few but this one is brilliantly illustrated complete with a paperback book for reference. The images are rich in psychological insight, providing wisdom and guidance for seekers of personal growth. I am using it more as a mindset thing, although I am not just relying on it as an external locus of control.

I like the way that the archetypal images of the tarot have been intertwined with the heroes and gods from Greek mythology, which are stories that have resonance with most westerners. The New Mythic Tarot Deck depicts the gods and goddesses, heroes and heroines of the Greek myths - familiar archetypal characters whose experiences perfectly mirror the shifts and patterns of our lives today. I find them very revealing and so to have a tarot book that uses these myths as a story that works through the Major Arcana and the suits work very well for me.

From the time of its first publication in 1986, The Mythic Tarot has sold over a million copies in dozens of countries. But the deck creators have chosen their stories well, especially since they fit so beautifully with the flow of the energy of each of the suits!

The book is a lot more than your standard LWB (Little White Book) that comes along with other decks. As a tarot card reader and collector of tarot cards, this is one of the best Tarot cards I've ever purchased, it is very well written, and superbly put together, This is a must to get for any tarot card reader or beginner. Once you have grasped it completely, wielding this deck doesn’t truly seem like a hard task, though.This much-loved Mythic Tarot deck has enjoyed international success and become a collector's classic. Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions. I have been using this decks for about two years now and I so love it because of the depth of meaning and how the context of Western thought directly relates to Greek myth. The story of Eros and Psyche, from meeting through struggles to happily-ever-after, makes up the Cups.

Originally produced as part of The Beginner’s Guide to Tarot, the deck has since been released on its own and uses more traditional symbolism on the cards, which is drawn from a mixture of influences, including the Waite, Visconti and Marseilles decks. Thank you sooooo much I bought the original set 20 years ago and my sister got me the new one for Christmas but I loath the new design.
