ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Where does the Tarot come from? Is it truly the bearer of a decisive spiritual influence? How can card reading guide us so precisely? How can we improve as readers? This book is the result of fifteen years of experience, after the publication of La v a del Tarot. Here Marianne Costa revisits the historical, cultural, and iconographic principles concerning the Tarot of Marseille to offer a structure of interpretation in deep coherence with the history of the game, which considers all its cards: the minor arcana and the major arcana. This book aims to offer a synthetic and detailed vision of the Tarot while allowing anyone who is attracted to it to practice reading the cards from a personal deepening approach and well-intentioned communication with the other. It is also an accessible book for both beginners and people who are already familiar with the Tarot. For Marianne Costa, the true answer that counts when reading is the one that speaks to the heart of the querent. Therefore, the tarologist must train to become a spokesperson, a translator, the messenger of a deeper and wiser dimension, which already exists within the querent. The cards will patiently answer our most innocent, most selfish, most secret questions, but they are also made to accompany us if we have the ambition to move toward what is essential.

The family tree is not merely vital statistics about your ancestors. It is an embodied sense of self that we inherit from at least four prior generations, constituting both a life-giving treasure and a deadly trap. Each of us is both an heir of our lineage and a necessary variation that brings the family into new territory. Are you doomed to repeat the patterns of your parents and grandparents? Or can you harness your familial and individual talents to create your own destiny? In METAGENEALOGY, Alejandro Jodorowsky and Marianne Costa show how every individual is the product of two forces: the imitating force, directed by the family group acting from the past and the creative force, driven by the Universal Consciousness from the future. The authors provide exercises, visualisations and meditations to discover your family's psychological heritage and open yourself to the growth and creativity of Universal Consciousness. They reveal how identifying the patterns, emotional programming and successes and failures of the four generations that influence you - your siblings, parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents and great-grandparents - allows you to see beyond the stable identity formed by family lineage. It frees you to overcome your inherited subconscious patterns of behaviour and illness, stop the transmission of these patterns to future generations and reconnect with your true self and unique creative purpose in life. By understanding your family tree and your place in it, you open your ability to heal the ancient struggle between the repetitive forces of the past and the creative forces of the future. · Provides exercises to uncover your family's psychological heritage, heal negative patterns of behaviour and illness in your family tree and discover your true self · Explains how we are the product of two forces: repetition of familial patterns from the past and creation of new ideas from the universal consciousness of the future · Interwoven with examples from Jodorowsky's own life and his work with the tarot, psychoanalysis and psychomagic

Alejandro Jodorowsky's profound study of the Tarot, which began in the early 1950s, reveals it to be far more than a simple divination device. The Tarot is first and foremost a powerful instrument of self-knowledge and a representation of the structure of the soul. The Way of Tarotshows that the entire deck is structured like a temple, or a mandala, which is both an image of the world and a representation of the divine. The authors use the sacred art of the original Marseille Tarot--created during a time of religious tolerance in the 11th century--to reconnect with the roots of the Tarot's Western esoteric wisdom. They explain that the Tarot is a "nomadic cathedral" whose parts--the 78 cards or "arcana"--should always be viewed with an awareness of the whole structure. This understanding is essential to fully grasp the Tarot's hermetic symbolism.

Faszinierend für Einsteiger und mit oft völlig neuen überraschenden Perspektiven auch für Kenner, wird hier Tarot in einer einzigartigen, ganzheitlichen Interpretation vorgestellt. Dieses faszinierende Grundlagenwerk ist viel mehr als das x-te Buch zum Thema. Hier werden die Karten der Großen und Kleinen Arkana als unabdingbar zusammengehörig erklärt und gedeutet. Ganz bewusst gehen Alejandro Jodorowsky und Marianne Costa zurück zur Urform der Karten: er arbeitet mit dem wohl ältesten kompletten Deck, dem "Tarot de Marseille". Sie belegen überzeugend, dass die Karten nicht als getrennte Symbole erdacht, sondern bewusst als Teile einer Einheit gestaltet wurden. Aus dieser Erkenntnis heraus entwickeln sie aus der Gesamtheit aller Karten ein Tarot-Mandala in Form eines Sonnenrades, dem Symbol des kreativen Wirbels. Selbstverständlich wird auch jede der 78 Karten mit ihrer visuellen Sprache einzeln vorgestellt. Und auch hier überraschen Jodorowsky und Costa immer wieder mit neuen Erkenntnissen und Deutungen. Darüber hinaus stellen sie eine Vielzahl von Varianten aus Zweier- und Dreiergruppen mit entsprechenden Interpretationen vor. Dieses tiefgründige Buch ist eine kreative Lebensberatung. In der Tradition von C.G. Jung stellen die Autoren die Karten in den Dienst einer neuen Art der Psychoanalyse: der "Tarologie".
