1) Paperback Book Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom by Thorsons. I found this book to be pretty useless.
The meaninings described in the book are plain confusing because they are wrong. Someone who´d been studying tarot before would not find one single match between their card meanings and the card meanings there. I was wondering which deck did the author use to get inspiration for the card meanings. I have been reading Tarot for a while and I found zero useful information in this book, I believe it could confuse someone who just started studying tarot. As for more experienced tarot readers, it is completely useless, as they will not be able to add anything to their knowledge and experience.

I also didn´t find any other Tarot related information that could be of interest¤

2) Paperback Book Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom by Thorsons. Reading this book was sheer delight. Rachel Pollack does an excellent job of sharing her extensive knowledge of Tarot from a multitude of angles. My primary interest in reading it was psychology. I got the same kind of buzz reading this book as I usually get when I read Carl Jung - a deep-rooted feeling of seeing the world in a different light. Pollack spends a lot of time explaining the detailed symbolisms of the cards, and this is exactly what makes the book valuable. This approach is far more engaging than just offering ´reading formulas´ for the cards. Unlike science, spiritual knowledge cannot be presented merely as facts, it needs to be felt and experienced. Fully comprehending the book could be a challenge for the novice reader, but well worth the effort, especially if you´re a reflective person. My only criticism of the text is the occasional spelling error. The editor needs to do a better job of proof reading.¤

3) Paperback Book Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom by Thorsons. This is the very best book for insights into interpretations of Tarot cards, at least for the intellectuals among us. It suggests sources of meaning in myth and legend, especially Hebrew tradition, for each card. It has helped me plumb the depths of my own unconscious to find meaning in my current life situations. The book is clearly written by someone who has deep intuition into the psychology and cultural traditions of the modern Tarot user. Unlike superficial "recipe books" for reading Tarot cards, this book acknowledges the importance of the reader´s personal situation and deep thought processes for assigning meaning to the cards.¤

4) Paperback Book Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom by Thorsons. The book came in a timely manner and was well packed and in good shape. I would buy from this seller again.¤

5) Paperback Book Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom by Thorsons. I refer to Ms. Pollack´s brillant book, Seventy-eight Degrees of Wisdom, time and time again. It gives wonderful sight to the seeker, and speaks of the timeless connections to God & Universe through the study of the tarot. There is an eloquence in her writing that make for several AHA! moments, just great!!!¤

6) Paperback Book Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom by Thorsons. Together in one volume for the first time, these are the classic texts that helped launch the modern Tarot renaissance. Often described as the Bible of Tarot readers, they bring awareness of myth and modern psychology to the Tarot´s ancient symbolism.¤
