Il simbolismo dei tarocchi. Filosofia dell'occultismo nelle figure e nei numeri

First of all, i would like to say that it's good for a student to get as many perspectives as possible on tarot, and this does present some interesting points.

Really nice quick read, this book has some really deep shit in it so don't expect to understand everything (or at least I didn't), therefore i wouldn't really recommend it as a beginner's guide book or anything as this book grasps the very abstract part or tarot instead of the basics

Es como un storytelling de lo que el autor considera que es eñ tarot, está muy bien para tener distintas perspectivas para tomar en consideración pero no siento que sea tal cual muy educativo, no obstante, es agradable de leer.

In spite of being specific to the Rider Waite deck, the symbolic attributes and conceptual explanation of the the Tarot that Ouspensky delivers on this booklet is really comprehensive and clear. Totally recommended for beginners or anyone trying to form a general concept of the major arcana

Well, quite a different perspective that was refreshing and enjoyable to explore. I will be reading this again!
