What exactly are Tarot cards? A collection of philosophical meanings presented in allegorical images or an exotic method for predicting what is to come? Is it an alphabet of mystical symbols rooted in antiquity or a tool for deeper self-awareness?

In this small book, renowned author Peter Ouspensky conducts an in-depth exploration of the symbols that make up the Major Arcana of the Tarot, methodically analyzing their significance. He narrates to us the initiatory myth of self-knowledge that the cards tell, and by following it, one has the ability to progress step by step through the psychoanalytic scale in order to identify all those forces that not only reveal their true selves but also shape the conditions for what is to happen on the path of time.
