Philosophy & Religion Spirituality & New Age Psychology & Self-Help
Barbara G. Walker’s 1984 classic, The Secrets of the Tarot: Origins, History and Symbolism, unpacks the art and mystery behind every card in this well-loved illustrated paperback. Vintage Harper & Row printing, 260 pages, packed with the author’s sharp feminist scholarship and rich folkloric detail.
The book is in good used shape: tight binding, crisp unmarked pages, no dog ears, and only light foxing on the outer page edge—clean enough for reading or shelf display. Comes from a smoke-free home and shows none of the underlining or previous-owner clutter often found on copies this age.
Collectors of New Age, divination, and metaphysical titles prize Walker’s guide for its depth and striking artwork, making it a solid addition to both reference and gift piles. Grab this gently-aged volume while it lasts and explore tarot symbolism through a fresh, scholarly lens.
