Books on divinatory tarot

There are indeed all sorts of very serious works dealing with the divinatory art. First of all, there are many novels and fiction on the subject, which are sometimes very well informed about the myths associated with esotericism and the mysteries of the occult forces that emerge from any clairvoyance.

Thus, for example, the novels by Maggie Stiefvater are as captivating as they are entertaining for anyone who wishes to shiver under the spell of a plot full of twists, while learning a great many secrets about the many divinatory arts.

Indeed, the mysteries of the book « Shiver » or of her masterpiece « Under the sign of the scorpion », are filled with details relating to the world of clairvoyance.

But to truly perfect the divinatory art, there is nothing like the good old technical works, which as good practical handbooks, train us by revealing all the secret tricks to best manage to predict the future of a querent.

In the case of divinatory tarot, such works are not lacking, and although their condition can sometimes leave something to be desired when they are second-hand, particularly regarding the state of their cover, the content of their pages holds priceless treasures for anyone who wishes to learn to handle and interpret the cards of divinatory tarot.

Since this tarot card deck has been for many centuries the most famous and used of all, it is therefore more than logical that a great many works are dedicated to it. And within the pages of all these books, one learns the many divinatory methods for managing to perform readings for querents, as well as all the meanings of each of the 78 cards or blades contained within the tarot of Marseille.

One therefore dissects in great detail the many symbolisms contained in the depictions of the 22 major arcana, where between esotericism and numerological values and astrological ones, these blades guide the person concerned along an initiatory journey that will reveal to them events to come in their destiny.

All good works also deal with the 56 minor arcana, offering us precise descriptions of the many details they provide during a divinatory reading about the personality of the querent, and about some events of their past life, sometimes somewhat buried.

Whether these books about the tarot of Marseille are dated, and therefore in a worn condition, or whether they are more recent, with a decent cover and illustrated with photos or color or black-and-white drawings , all will be able to satisfy everyone’s curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

For examples, here are some of the best works on the tarot of Marseille: « Le tarot de Marseille » the paperback guide by Florian Parisse published by Trajectoire, « La voie du tarot » by Alejandro Jodorowski, « Le tarot de Marseille » by Émilie Porte, and the « Tarot de Marseille » by Paul Marteau, first published back in 1949.

Since the famous tarot of Marseille, originating from France, inspired the creation of many other tarot decks or international Oracles, it is quite legitimate that they too should have reference guides that allow us to better grasp them with a view to using them for future predictions. 

Thus, referenced works deal with the Belline Oracle, the Egyptian Tarot, the Tarot of Mademoiselle Lenormand, and many others still.

The publisher’s release date of each of them varies according to their authors, but many of them such as Claude Darche, Marcel Picard, Charly Samson or Kamina Brouchka have been able to be reissued in recent years. But new and talented professional tarot reader authors are also taking up the writing of works on the subject, and more particularly on esotericism and the magic present in the art of practicing divinatory tarot in general.

Thus, Barbara Moore and her « Dreamscape Tarot », Colette and Gérard Lougarre and their « Grand Oracle of love », and Doreen Virtue and her « Angel Tarot » are the best examples of current authors to have published captivating works on the practice of a particular tarot.

Whether they are recent or more ancient, all these books can be found within specialized bookshops in magic and esotericism. They can be found in all the largest cities of France, and notably in Paris, which are very often run by professional clairvoyants.

But for all those who do not have the chance to have this kind of shop within their area, there remains of course the option of ordering these works from specialized sites on the internet. There are many of them, all quite reliable, but for even greater simplicity, it is possible to find these books on Amazon, at unbeatable prices.

It is also not uncommon to find this kind of literature of a divinatory nature at flea markets and car-boot sales, sold off at generous prices although the condition of these works may leave something to be desired. What is certain is that you would really have to be quite clumsy not to manage to dig up a work on divinatory tarot. There are so many of them that it is sometimes difficult to make a choice.
