“The whole is different from the sum of its parts.” Max Wertheimer

If you have an interest in psychology and Tarot, this is a work book to fulfil deeper levels of understanding, and will stretch you and inspire you. It provides a powerful method of conducting Tarot  readings, created with a Gestalt and psychological emphasis which produces valuable, grounded, and wise divination for clients, but can also be used for exploration and personal growth for oneself. The card images used as examples are taken from a number of different artists, but it is suggested that you work from a traditional Tarot deck, such as the Rider Waite Colman Smith Tarot deck or you can use an Oracle deck if you prefer. Which cards represent you and where you are in your life? 

 

This is written by two experts in the field of psychology and Tarot. Victor Daniels received a Doctorate from UCLA and is a Professor of Psychology at Sonoma State University where he has taught for over forty years, and has served as Chairperson of the department. His wife, Kooch is a Master of Arts and is an intuitive and Tarot reader who has written several books with Victor, including Tarot d’Amour and Matrix Meditations. I think it is the most relevant Tarot book I have, and I will read it again. It is for the more serious Tarot expert. Instead of a ‘reading’, we are taken on a journey towards self discovery and self actualisation. Instead of ‘accurate’, think ‘useful’. 

Meaty! Dynamic! You will be a changed person!
