Jodorowsky's book is the only book on the subject worth reading, but be warned that he is batshit insane.

I cant seem to find an English copy online. Care to help me out?
>>9436667
Found and added. Will read after Pictorial Key to the Tarot.

40 pages in. So far so good. I love how he is just shitting over all these other authors. I find his descriptions of the Arcana lacking however, he assumes that I have some background knowledge of the "common" interpretations. Regardless, the book has already been invaluable. Thanks for the suggestion again.

And I think that to write well about Tarot you have to be at least a little bit batshit insane, so that only makes me more confident that the work is good. No sane person would delve into this cesspool of symbolism.

cheers m8

I think it's hilarious that we're having a discussion that's worthy of /x/, but not in /x/ due to the stupid amount of LARPers.

I am merely interested in this for the cultural value. I look at it in a similar fashion as I would of Greek mythology.

Also youre welcome.

It'd be interesting to see threads about /x/ stuff here, considering people formulate better arguments.
I would like to see people thoughts or experiences on magic or paranormal stuff, I'm pretty sure most believe in at least one 'conspiracy'.
But I guess it would turn into shitposts extremely soon.

I think there are quite a few /x/ refugees on /lit/, if only because /x/ is dominated by premenstrual girls who read Twilight books.
