What secret myths lie behind the images of the Tarot?

The Secret Tales of the Tarot reveals the captivating mythological stories behind the cards themselves — from the mysterious figures of the Major Arcana to the elemental power of the suits. This fresh and imaginative guide invites you to look at the Tarot with the eyes of a storyteller, and not just as a divinatory device.

Following the journey of the Fool, readers encounter iconic archetypes like the Magician, the High Priestess, the Lovers, and the Hanged Man, each illuminated through myths. With this perspective, and the power of narrative, you'll find it easy to learn the meanings of the cards, and understand the power of the tarot.


  • Reframes Tarot as a mythological journey rather than a system of fortune-telling
  • Guides readers through the symbolism and significance of each Major Arcana card
  • Explores the storytelling power of the four suits — Cups, Wands, Swords, and Pentacles
  • Perfect for creative seekers, writers, and curious beginners
  • Helps demystify Tarot while offering a new lens on familiar archetypes

  • Whether you’re new to Tarot or seeking deeper layers of meaning, this book offers a revelatory path into the mythic worlds hidden in the cards. Start your journey now.
