The Marseille Tarot Course

Do you know what a Marseille tarot card shows, and what someone has only decided it means? This course teaches you to tell the two apart, with the real cards of Jean Dodal’s tarot, printed in Lyon more than three hundred years ago. Over fourteen chapters you learn to look, to count what is on each card, and to state a rule of reading you can defend. For every rule you hunt for the card that breaks it: a rule is worth what its counterexample lets it keep. You work through the number cards, the major arcana, and the court cards, and you finish with a consistency exam for your own method. It includes six games with solutions, thirty-six exercises with answer criteria, fourteen invented cases, working tables, a glossary, and an annotated reading list. A course for training the eye, with no promises of divination.
