Notes
Alejandro Jodorowsky is a filmmaker who made the legendary El Topo and The Holy Mountain. He is, also, a psychotherapist and author of many books on Tarot and spiritualism.
"A profound work that is both penetrating and fascinating. It
offers thought-provoking commentary on the cards from a pair of
authors who are among the world's most deeply knowledgeable
authorities on the tarot."
*Kooch Daniels, co-author of Matrix Meditations, Oct 2009*
"The Way of Tarot is a very impressive work. Whether you agree with
the authors conclusions or not, it will make you think outside of
the box, and will perhaps be the impetus needed for someone out
there in the Tarot world to connect the dots between their thoughts
and present them for examination. . . . This is a worthwhile
addition to the Tarot library of anyone that wishes to move beyond
the divination aspects of the cards into self-realization."
*Bonnie Cehovet, certified Tarot Grand Master, Aeclectic Tarot, Oct
2009*
"An excellent all-around guide to both the nuts-and-bolts practical
and the spiritual sides of Tarot, The Way of Tarot is filled with
invaluable insights for Tarot practitioners of all skill and
experience levels."
*The Midwest Book Review, Library Bookwatch, Feb 2010*
"The beginning of this book reads like a sophisticated
treasure-hunt adventure. It also happens to include a history of
tarot cards, which will be invaluable to people who are studying
tarot seriously. . . . a reference they can go back to over and
over again as they gain experience with the cards."
*Anna Jedrziewski, New Age Retailer magazine, Feb 2010*
"The purpose of this book is to show the reader how the tarot can
be seen and used in a practical way that is holistic, balanced,and
grounded. . . . The Way of Tarot can be a guide along this
path."
*New Spirit Journal, Vol. 5, No. 12, April 2010*
"The beauty of this deck is that Jodorwsky puts aside the
Kabalistic and other Western influences upon the tarot and just
studies the primal and bare gestures, numbers, and minute details .
. . "
