520 8  To explore the Tarot is to explore ourselves, to be 
       reminded of the universality of our longing for meaning, 
       for purpose and for a connection to the divine. This 600-
       year-old tradition reflects not only a history of seekers,
       but our journey of artistic expression and the ways we 
       communicate our collective human story. For many in the 
       West, Tarot exists in the shadow place of our cultural 
       consciousness, a metaphysical tradition assigned to the 
       dusty glass cabinets of the arcane. Its history, long and 
       obscure, has been passed down through secret writing, oral
       tradition, and the scholarly tomes of philosophers and 
       sages. Hundreds of years and hundreds of creative hands--
       mystics and artists often working in collaboration--have 
       transformed what was essentially a parlor game into a 
       source of divination and system of self-exploration, as 
       each new generation has sought to evolve the form and 
       reinterpret the medium.  Author Jessica Hundley traces 
       this fascinating history in Tarot, the debut volume in 
       Taschen's 'Library of Esoterica' series. The book explores
       the symbolic meaning behind more than 500 cards and works 
       of original art, two thirds of which have never been 
       published outside of the decks themselves. It's the first-
       ever visual compendium of its kind, spanning from Medieval
       to modern, and artfully arranged according to the 
       sequencing of the 78 cards of the Major and Minor Arcana. 
       It explores the powerful influence of Tarot as muse to 
       artists like Salvador Dalí and Niki de Saint Phalle and 
       includes the decks of nearly 100 diverse contemporary 
       artists from around the world, all of whom have embraced 
       the medium for its capacity to push cultural identity 
       forward. Rounding out the volume are excerpts from 
       thinkers such as Éliphas Lévi, Carl Jung, and Joseph 
       Campbell; a foreword by artist Penny Slinger; a guide to 
       reading the cards by Johannes Fiebig; and an essay on 
       oracle decks by Marcella Kroll.
