DECODING THE CARDS isn’t your typical resource. Rather than simply providing keywords and traditional interpretations, it goes further to provide exercises for each card in the tarot. These exercises are designed to challenge you to delve deeper into the meanings of each card, as well as consider your own personal experiences in relation to the traditional meanings. For each card you will find: Keywords and a set of traditional meanings for both the upright and reversed interpretations. The numerological, elemental and astrological correspondences of the card. Notable symbols within the Rider-Waite-Smith illustrated artwork. Then, move on to exercises which will help you to form a greater bond and understanding of the cards: Create your own personal bond and narrative with the cards. Expand the meaning of each card and help to develop your understanding of it by pairing it with other cards. Explore how each card meaning is influenced by your personal perspectives and experiences.
