Description - The New Tarot: Modern Variations of Ancient Images by Rachel Pollack

This is an overview of the developments in Tarot decks in the past decade providing, through the presentation of seventy designs, an insight into the evolution of the Tarot's ancient images which date back to the fifteenth century in Italy. In the past ten or fifteen years scores of new decks have appeared, ranging from designs by Salvidor Dali to others based on other cultures from Romany to Tibetan and ancient Mayan. The author explains that initially people saw the Tarot as the expression of a particular philosophy whereas today artists and designers have taken the freedom to adapt Tarot to different religions, to psychological growth and transformation, to the exploration of myths, dreams and storytelling.
