The tarot has a rich history of being used for recreational purposes since the 15th century. Over time, each card has gained its own unique meanings and symbolism. By the 18th century, the tarot had evolved into a tool for divination and oracular purposes, similar to the ancient Delphic oracles. Today, the trumps, also known as the major arcana, are believed to chronicle the journey of the Fool through life, symbolically depicting his experiences and growth.
"How to be a Tarot Card (or a Teenager)" delves into the depths of the major arcana and the meanings they have accumulated. It explores, exploits, and occasionally twists these cards in the order they are presented in the numerous tarot decks that are currently circulating around the world. The Star, representing hope, exists as both a metaphor and a wild dog; within the Death card lies the concept of rebirth, which transforms into female friendship and an escape from patriarchal constraints.
Through its exploration of the major arcana, "How to be a Tarot Card (or a Teenager)" offers a unique perspective on the tarot's rich tapestry of symbols and meanings. It encourages readers to engage with the cards on a deeper level, exploring their metaphorical implications and the personal growth they can inspire. Whether you are a seasoned tarot reader or a newcomer seeking to explore the mysteries of the tarot, this book provides a valuable and thought-provoking journey into the world of the tarot.
