The Tarot Circle - Leah Moore - Bog

Entering the musty old Ace of Cups Bookshop through its fogged-up door, Jay is a total tarot newbie. She joins Enid, Dorothea, Rowan, Fuchsia, and Angel, who have all come together to discuss Tarot and share what they know about the craft--starting with the oldest roots of Tarot. They talk about the Thoth Deck and Aleister Crowley. They talk about Pamela Colman Smith, Penny Slinger, and Frieda Harris. They explore everything from the Satanic panic of the '60s, Spanish tarot in the 16th century, and the fashionable fortune telling of the French aristocracy. Together with the circle, readers will dive into Tarot's history and key figures, as well as its place in modern life.
