Iconic Tarot Decks: The History, Symbolism and Design of over 50 Decks

Iconic Tarot Decks by Sarah Bartlett The History, Symbolism and Design of Over 50 Decks Beautiful, informative, and filled with information ~ I found this book a delight to flip through and then spend time with. For someone wanting a brief introduction to a variety of historical and more current tarot decks, this was a treasure trove of information and a visual feast. What I liked: * The variety and number of decks shared * The information about the decks including the history, who created them and their purposes * That there was some information on how to use the decks for personal divinatory purposes * Pondering what the cards might mean to me were I to use them * The look into the history of tarot cards * The various reasons the cards were decorated as they were * Finding out who some of the artists of tarot cards were * Wanting to find a few of the decks to add to my personal collection…need to write those down * Being reminded of my thought of one day creating a personal deck of my own * That there was not too much information to bog down the book What I didn’t like: * Can’t think of anything ;) Did I enjoy this book? Yes Would I buy it for myself or someone else? I might Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing – White Lion for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars
