Description
The long-awaited, revised, and significantly expanded edition of the original author's encyclopedia from 1995 is supplemented with the latest findings and an unpublished study on the origin of the symbolism of the tarot trumps at the Czech royal court of Charles IV and Wenceslas IV. The Encyclopedia of Tarot clearly describes the tarot card system, its structure, and the significance of individual cards. The author thoroughly explores the history of tarot and highlights its relationship to the lands of the Czech Crown. The book contains entirely new topics, including the origin of the card The High Priestess, whose form was inspired by the daughter of Přemysl I. Otakar and the older sister of Saint Agnes of Bohemia, Vilemína.
