The Mythic Tarot

Product Information

Greek myth is a sophisticated and perennially alive imaginative description of what we are made of inside. I have had this deck now for five years, and have read and study it 69 times, and I shall continue doing it because I love the deck and the book so much. I love companion books, and have always referred to them during readings joyfully, but I’m reading this one from start to finish, it’s so compelling. I totally agree with your opinion of the illustrations on the newer as opposed to the original deck!
