Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom by Rachel Pollack

The bestselling tarot classic in a new edition with a new preface by the author.

"Whenever I have a question about tarot, I reach for 78 Degrees of Wisdom. It is the most in-depth exploration of tarot and my most trusted resource. If you want to learn tarot, you'll want 78 Degrees on your bookshelf too. It's the gold standard in tarot." --Theresa Reed, author of Tarot No Questions Asked

"What is your favorite tarot book? The answer is always 78 Degrees of Wisdom."--Melissa Cynova, author of Kitchen Table Tarot

"Essential reading for the beginner and a classic that tarot masters will return to time and time again, this is the book to have in your library."--Benebell Wen, author of Holistic Tarot

When it was first published nearly 40-years-ago, Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom was an instant classic and inspired generations of tarot students. Often referred to as the "bible of tarot books" it has now helped to launch the "tarot renaissance" we're seeing today. Drawing on mythology and esoteric traditions and delving deeply into the symbolism and ideas of each card, the book offers a modern psychological interpretation of the tarot archetypes rather than a system of esoteric symbolism.

This book provides:

  • A concise history of tarot
  • An introduction to common tarot spreads
  • A clear and endlessly useful reference for both beginning and advanced tarot students
