Product Description

The tarot can be approached as a "book of life", and the explanatory book aims to enable anyone to read the cards. The images are simpler than the more obscure symbolism of traditional tarot, which needs a "reader" to interpret. The book explains how best to work with the energy of the cards, and includes Zen anecdotes and stories by Osho to illuminate the essential of each card, and to help even those who are unfamiliar with the teachings of Zen to understand their meanings.

Customer Reviews

one of the best tarot decks
I have been a 'reader' of tarot for many years now and have got by on some very good traditional decks. This was the first one I have ever used that just blew me away with the ease it can be used by novices and experienced alike. It is not a traditional tarot deck, and some may find it difficult equating the suits to the traditional decks. However, if you are willing to break away from that traditional mold, and to actually use the imagery and key words in their own right, it is possible to find very indepth and accurate interpretations. Each image really does inspire the mind to create a story or meaning that seems to fit perfectly. This is definitely something that is away from the norm of standard tarot but I find it to be refreshing and insightful to the extent I have a second deck on order to act as a permanent travel companion! The book is also very good and offers some interesting spreads as well as how the Zen 'system' sees the emotional and mental aspects of each of the images. Those who follow Buddhism may find they click with this fairly easily, whereas others may find the descriptions useful when looking at the cards for the first time.

Beware !!
Buyer BEWARE!!
This is the book ONLY. The other reviews give the impression that the card game is involved. IT IS NOT. It is the paperback alone.
Double check before you waste your money

More You than Tarot!
For those of you just starting the tarot you may find these cards
easier to start with.
Thing is they give very deep insight into yourself and as you use them this will grow.
They seem to act on a very spiritual level, of course you'll start reading OSHO and then its game over! you'll become as maverick as he was and unable to take anything seriously again.
Enjoy!
