From the time of its first publication in 1986, The Mythic Tarot has sold over a million copies in dozens of countries. Now, for this twenty-fifth anniversary edition, the text has been revised, brought up to date and the deck completely reillustrated by internationally renowned artist, Giovanni Caselli.The New Mythic Tarot brings together all the elements that made the original version such a necessary deck for all tarot enthusiasts—a deck that depicts the gods and goddesses, heroes and heroines of the Greek myths and a book that helps the reader explore them as familiar archetypal characters, whose experiences mirror the shifts and patterns of daily life.This fully revised and updated edition of one of the few true classic book and card tarot kits breathes fresh life into this standard work and will be welcomed by long-time devotees and new fans alike.
This work investigates the intersection of classical Greek mythology and the psychological archetypes inherent in the tarot system to provide a framework for personal reflection. Author Juliet Sharman-Burke utilizes the narratives of gods, goddesses, and heroes to map the human experience onto the traditional structure of the tarot deck. By recontextualizing these ancient stories, the text argues that the cards serve as a mirror for the patterns and shifts encountered in contemporary daily life.
What You Will Find
The text is widely regarded as a foundational resource for tarot practitioners, valued for its synthesis of classical mythology and psychological insight. Its longevity and consistent popularity suggest it remains a standard reference for both novices and experienced readers seeking to deepen their understanding of archetypal symbolism.
