The Tarot of Light and Shadow

Description

This beautifully illustrated double Tarot deck allows readers to explore both sides of a question at once, looking at the Shadow (instinctive, inner world, the unknown) and the Light (rational, outer world, the known). For the first time ever readers are being offered two Tarot decks specifically designed to be used together. The Tarot of Light and Shadow presents a new multi-layered way of working with the Tarot: using two decks to explore the Shadow and Light sides of any questions at once. Although some professional readers have used this idea with different packs, and to great effect, this is the first time two Tarot decks have been designed specifically to work together. In fact, they can be seen not as two separate decks but as one deck appearing in two dimensions. The principle of the two-deck system can be explained as follows: there are two sides to every question and two sides to every answer. Answers come both from within and without. Inner influences as well as outer affect our choices and may dictate our concerns. When we face a problem or issue for which we turn to the Tarot for advice, there are many different ways to approach the query. The Shadow deck gives you insight into your inner world, your subconscious, your instinct and what is not yet in the light of consciousness, while the Light deck reflects the the outer world, the rational and what is already known about an issue. This ground-breaking two-deck system allows the reader to explore bothsides of such questions at once, and to find the best way forward in the blending of both answers. Review: tarot for meditation and self-discovery - I really love this Tarot deck. The detailed lineart needs getting used to it, but I just love studying the depictions. The card stock is high-quality and the box is sturdy and well made. Review: Not a believer, but a great therapy tool and a great-looking set. - I personally don't subscribe to divination as a means to tell the future, but I like to use tarot for meditation and self-discovery. This deck is very well-suited to that if you can differentiate between mysticism and symbolism. The art manages to remain detailed while being rather minimal in its linework. The colors of the two decks are gorgeous, and the interpretations of a standard tarot deck are fantastic to explore. The guide book is clear, easy to read, and written in a relatively down-to-earth manner as far as the card codex goes. I realize my use of this deck is pretty niche, but if there's anyone else out there like me who enjoys using tarot as a meditation aid, this is definitely a solid pick.
