Trace the hidden history of Tarot in the first volume from TASCHEN’s Library of Esoterica, a series documenting the creative ways we strive to connect to the divine. Artfully arranged according to the sequencing of the Major and Minor Arcana, this visual compendium gathers more than 500 cards and works of original art from around the world in the ultimate exploration of a centuries-old art form.

To explore the Tarot is to explore ourselves, to be reminded of the universality of our longing for meaning, for purpose and for a connection to the divine. This 600-year-old tradition reflects not only a history of seekers, but our journey of artistic expression and the ways we communicate our collective human story.

For many in the West, Tarot exists in the shadow place of our cultural consciousness, a metaphysical tradition assigned to the dusty glass cabinets of the arcane. Its history, long and obscure, has been passed down through secret writing, oral tradition, and the scholarly tomes of philosophers and sages. Hundreds of years and hundreds of creative hands—mystics and artists often working in collaboration—have transformed what was essentially a parlor game into a source of divination and system of self-exploration, as each new generation has sought to evolve the form and reinterpret the medium.

Author Jessica Hundley traces this fascinating history in Tarot, the debut volume in TASCHEN’s Library of Esoterica series. The book explores the symbolic meaning behind more than 500 cards and works of original art, two thirds of which have never been published outside of the decks themselves. It's the first ever visual compendium of its kind, spanning from Medieval to modern, and artfully arranged according to the sequencing of the 78 cards of the Major and Minor Arcana. It explores the powerful influence of Tarot as muse to artists like Salvador Dalí and Niki de Saint Phalle and includes the decks of nearly 100 diverse contemporary artists from around the world, all of whom have embraced the medium for its capacity to push cultural identity forward. Rounding out the volume are excerpts from thinkers such as Éliphas Lévi, Carl Jung, and Joseph Campbell; a foreword by artist Penny Slingera guide to reading the cards by Johannes Fiebig; and an essay on oracle decks by Marcella Kroll.

Kept Her Attention Immediately
Format: Hardcover
I bought this for my niece’s little daughter, and she absolutely loved it. She played with it, looked through it over and over, and was completely engaged with it, which honestly says everything. Keeping a little child’s attention is not always easy, so I was very impressed with how much she enjoyed it. The quality is excellent too — very vibrant, colorful, durable, and beautifully made. It feels sturdy enough to hold up well with little hands while still being attractive and fun to look at. Overall, a wonderful purchase and a really great gift for a child.

Fun, Interactive Sound Book for Toddlers
Format: Hardcover
My daughter loves this book and especially enjoys pushing the buttons to hear the animal sounds. We aren’t quite old enough to match the pictures to the buttons yet, but she has so much fun pressing them and mimicking the animal noises, which makes this a great early learning experience. The bright Eric Carle illustrations are engaging, and the interactive buttons keep little hands busy. A wonderful toddler-friendly sound book that grows with your child and encourages sensory play and language development.

Great Book for Engagement and Following Directions
Format: Hardcover
Great book! I use it to teach animals and following directions, and it keeps the kids engaged. I covered mine with contact paper because it is delicate. The pages are nicely printed with a glossy finish, but they are made of thin paper.
