Students of the tarot will call this the reference book of the century!  Jana Riley has collected material from major authors (both modern and traditional) in order to provide succinct definitions of each card in the deck.  Included are:

Many of these authors also offer a great number of decks, ranging from the well-known Waite, Crowley Thoth, and Wirth decks, to the more modern, such as The William Blake Tarot of Creative Imagination, Tarot of the Spirit, Motherpeace Round Tarot, Shining Woman Tarot, The Mythic Tarot, The Merlin Tarot, The Dreampower Deck, The Barbara Walker Tarot, The Voyager Tarot.  With definitions by the authors themselves, you'll gain new insights into card interpretation and how different teachers approach the tarot.

To complete the work, Riley includes correspondences (esoterica, gemstones, runes, astrological symbolism, Huna, color, mythology, language), plus a section describing basic layouts.  This is the first time that students of tarot symbolism can combine card meanings from such an eclectic group of experts.  This book is destined to become an invaluable resource for all interested in the tarot!
