the Big Book of Rider-Waite Tarot

Someone tells you that the Chariot means victory or that tarot comes from ancient Egypt. Who said it first, in which book, and on what date? This book asks that question of every card in the Rider-Waite-Smith deck and answers with what can be checked. It tells who made the deck, what Waite wrote in 1910, and what was added afterward, with historical claims marked as documented, attributed, or legend. The 22 Major Arcana have a profile of their own and the 56 Minor Arcana a section each; every card is studied in three layers: the image, Waite, and later practice. It includes a chronology, profiles of the historical authors, a glossary, an annotated bibliography, a case and an exercise with an answer criterion in every chapter, and three sample consultations with their review. Black-and-white interior. It does not predict the future: it is a tool for reflection and entertainment.
