The Mythic Tarot

Product Information

The Minor Arcana are presented in the form of stories that accompany each of the four suits, each relating to a different sphere of life. The characters appear, illustrating a moment in an Ancient Greek story that also corresponds with a tarot card meaning. No one can survive entering the underworld so she goes with a sense of giving up, of letting go maybe even grief. Have tried quite a few but this one is brilliantly illustrated complete with a paperback book for reference.

Greek mythology expresses archetypes that we can use to explore inner psychological experiences familiar to everyone. Gods and Goddesses, demigods, heroes and villains from Ancient Greek mythology and legends are depicted on each of the 78 Tarot cards in the popular Mythic Tarot. She is well-known as a teacher of tarot, and brings her teaching experience and knowledge of students to The Mythic Tarot. Tricia Newell's original artwork has been recreated for the New Mythic by Giovanni Caselli (who also did the Sharman-Caselli illustrations).Greek myth is a sophisticated and perennially alive imaginative description of what we are made of inside. When I first started using tarot, I found the Rider Waite deck did not resonate with me as easily as the Mythic deck.

It is detailed and chock-full of information about the cards – the characters on the cards, and their stories, and how it all falls into place on that particular card. They’re really handy for that, and the association I’ve built up with the deck transfers over at least a little to the deity with Whom I’m engaging.Retold here in concise and accessible form by Liz Greene and Juliet Sharman-Burke, these dramatic and exciting tales reveal profound truths that are reflected in every facet of our lives today. Back of New Mythic Tarot deck packet says: The New Mythic Tarot Deck depicts the gods and goddesses, heroes and heroines of the Greek myths - familiar archetypal characters whose experiences perfectly mirror the shifts and patterns of our lives today. But if you are looking to add a gem into your collection of Tarot decks, and learn a whole lot of stuff besides, then this is the perfect deck for you.
