The One World Tarot

Book excerpt: The One World Tarot offers a brand new tarot book and card set oriented to the beginner that brings the ancient art of the tarot into the 21st century with a diverse approach while preserving all of the essential elements. The tarot dates back to the 15th century, with the modern form developed by Arthur Waite and Pamela Colman Smith in the early 20th century. Since then, tarot has evolved and grown in popularity over the years due to its continuous appeal as an informative and inspiring tool. The One World Tarot takes a fresh and contemporary approach to the deck and the meaning of the cards. It is intended for up-and-coming practitioners of any age. Traditional tarot decks are very medieval and Anglo-Saxon in their look and feel. In contrast, this book and the card art have been created to encompass many centuries and cultures, embrace our global diversity, and apply to all genders. Written by two popular tarot experts, Lena Rodriguez and Seanna Rose, The One World Tarot takes a modern, global approach to established and increasingly popular art.
