Tarot cards have long been a fascination for those interested in spiritual experimentation, and a horror for many church-goers. But where do the mysterious images on the Tarot cards come from? This book reveals that many of the Tarot symbols have their roots in what is perhaps the most unlikely place--the Bible. The authors go on to explore the links with religious phenomenology, folklore, Jungian analysis, and archetypes from the world of literary fantasy. They demonstrate how the symbols are expressions of the spiritual needs of people of all times and all places, and they investigate the swell of interest in the Tarot, particularly within the New Age movement.

After 9-11, many in America went to church seeking comfort, healing, and direction. However, this pattern has not continued. Yet people are spiritual beings. Tarot readings have increased as people are seeking alternative means for comfort, healing and direction. Drane, Clifford and Johnson has debunked the myth of Tarot and unlocks the Christian spirituality that is found in in the Tarot deck, specifically in the Rider-Waite cards. Tarot discloses archetypes that are universal and are packed with relevant spiritual implications. I found it profound, thoughthfully researched, and practical theology.
