Highly recommended."SageWoman "Ferguson's deep love and broad knowledge of the subject shine through every image and line."Thalassa, Tarot News Network "I love the deck, which can certainly be used without the book [The Keeper of Words] as a reference, but the book adds immeasurable depth to readings with these cards...Whether used for personal reading, reading for others, meditation, ritual/ceremony, or dream workthis book and deck are wonderful tools of Empowerment."Bonnie Cehovet, The MetaArts Magazine "[M]y first impression of this frankly brilliant deck was...Wow. And two years later, that still is my reaction to the cards each time I look through them."Kim Huggen, TarotPassages.com "...[E]ven without the cards, [A Keeper of Words] is a great book for anyone who is looking for inspiration or subjects for meditation."The Wiccan Rede About the Author Anna-Marie Ferguson, a Scorpio, was born November 10, 1966, in the heart of the New Forest, Hampshire, England. When she was ten years old her family emigrated to rural Alberta, Canada. Anna returned to England in 1982 to undergo training in graphic design. She eventually returned to Alberta, where she continued a career in design, devoting her spare time to developing her illustrating skills, ably assisted by her three cats. Anna's fascination with Celtic legends and the Tarot began when she was a child in England. The atmosphere of the New Forest was steeped in history, and faithful readings of the legends cultivated an appreciation of "the romantic" in Anna. Such formative influences have inspired Anna to keep this bygone age alive through her art. Excerpt. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. THE NATURE OF THE TAROT The Tarot is a very old and sophisticated divinatory system. The wisdom and beauty of the mysterious cards have intrigued humanity throughout the ages. The Tarot embodies many profound and ancient teachings which pass far beyond their divinatory interpretations. For this reason, no one person ever truly comprehends all of its teachings, nor completes its study. The 78 cards of the Tarot are divided into two groups. The first 22 caeds are called the trump cards or Major Arcana-Arcana meaning secrets. The Major Arcana begins with the Foot card numbered zero, and ends with the Universe or World card numbered twenty-one. The trump caeds are rich in symbolism and can be considered the "Gate Keepers of Higher Knowledge." The remaining 56 cards, the Minor Arcana, are divided into four suits, each of which has fourteen cards: Ace through Ten, plus four court cards. The Minor Arcana tends to be less complicated than the Major, and Fast Shipping We ship multiple times a week. DVD Media will generally be upgraded to First Class if under 1lbs.
