“A fantastic book that gives deep insights into your personality, life, and journey based on your birth card.” —Theresa Reed
The tarot cards associated with your birth date and name form a pattern of personal destiny. They describe the theme of your life—the challenges and the gifts. In Archetypal Tarot, popular tarot practitioner and astrologer Mary Greer connects astrology and numerology to the tarot to create an in-depth personality profile that anyone can use for self-realization and personal harmony.
Greer takes readers on a personal exploration of how the tarot can be used as a tool for learning more about themselves and others.
The book includes:
• Detailed instructions, charts, and exercises on how to determine your soul and personality cards
• How to determine your year card and name card
• The opportunities and challenges you will face
• Journaling and exploratory exercises
Archetypal Tarot is a valuable tool for anyone wishing to learn how to use the tarot to interpret their strengths, challenges, and innermost desires. All you need is a pen and your date of birth and you can learn to cast your own tarot chart.
“Whether you are a learned tarot practitioner or newbie reader, Ms. Greer work will surely shed new light on intricate, and often unseen, details of the cards. Her influence in the field cannot be overstated. So, I’m delighted she here is focusing on some of the most misunderstood cards in the deck, the court cards. By seeing sides of ourselves and the energy of others around us reflected in the ‘people’ cards, we gain a deeper level of understanding to our readings. Her techniques for exploring the multidimensional layers of the cards while utilizing them to plumb the depths of one’s own psyche are clear to grasp and accessible to all. I will forever be indebted to Mary K. Greer for sharing her wealth of tarot knowledge. Her books prepared me for a satisfying lifetime relationship with tarot. I consider her a mentor I’ve never met but for whom I am certainly grateful.” —Rachel True, creator of True Heart Intuitive Tarot
