The two volumes of SeventyEight Degrees of Wisdom have inspired a whole generation of tarot students. It has often been described by readers, booksellers, and teachers as the "Bible of tarot readers." It is also often cited as one of the landmark books in modern tarot, and it helped to launch the "Tarot Renaissance" of the 1980s. The two textsone for The Major Arcana and one for The Minor Arcanaappear together in this volume, which is a reissue of the 1998 edition first published by Thorsons. SeventyEight Degrees of Wisdom draws on mythology and esoteric traditions and delves deeply into the symbolism and ideas of each card. It also gives the cards a modern psychological slant based on the pictures rather than a system of occult symbolism. This endlessly useful reference tool provides a concise history of tarot, introduces common spreads, and is a clear and readable book for both the beginning and advanced tarot student. Review: A reference I'll be using for years to come. - I was wary of buying a tarot book online, though I finally did make the decision to buy this book based on the reviews here as compared to the reviews of other tarot books. I've been rather impressed with this book. The author chose, wisely, to use the gold-standard in tarot, the Rider-Waite deck for her demonstrations and detailed study of the tarot symbolism. The Rider-Waite is widely available in both the original as well as other variations (I personally love the Universal Waite deck... same deck with prettier colors). I've waited for some time to review, but decided now would be as good a time as any since I can see that this is a book I will be working through for some time. I've given it a once-through, and have been using it as a reference since I bought it. This book emphasises learning and study (which takes years) over quick-fix guides to the tarot which suggest one could effectively read tarot in only minutes. And it is a long process, one I've been working on for over a decade casually, and one which I will continue to work on for years to come, aided by this very good reference. Seventy-Eight degrees of Wisdom also presents the use of the tarot without excess new-age trappings, focusing on the cards and their symbols themselves, not on extraneous things, particular religious views, or other things which I've read in scanning other tarot books. I think this book is excellent for intermediate students of the Tarot, and gives a wonderful sense of the complexities of tarot, while keeping it to the basics, focusing on the foundations of learning rather than a host of many spreads to use. May your journey of learning be fruitful. Review: Must Have - This Book is a Must Have....I have been interrested in learning the cards for many years...even as a elementary school child I remember going into a little corner store gift shop and found this very generic tarot playing cards, they were very simplistic and fascinating..I gave made up readings to my mom LOL and funny she marveled at how accurate they were...but sadly they got lost in the shuffle with toy parts in the bottom of my toy box...Prior every book I would pick up I would casually glance through and put back down...maybe it overwhelmed me..I just didn't feel a connection or desire to study the book. I own angel cards, spanish playing cards ect ect but never committed to any...SO...I read Seventy Eight Degrees of Wisdom unbelievable on a spiritual level it spoke to me..honestly everyday it was hard for me to put down I had to read the next page, the next page...I began to have more of an awareness of how it all is connected, me, the cards, my actions, energy, the universe..it all came alive to me..and as I would read the description's of the cards they came alive to me..I thought oooh wow that is so me or yep I know a person like that..I just recently purchased my first riders deck per a friends recommendation..boy have I been so stubborn LOL actually the Radiant Rider Deck and I am so excited to receive them...This book was so spiritual so philasophical so deep..she really elaborated the meanings and gave other perspectives. I felt like I could see the card in my head with just the black and white pictures in the book.so half way thru I ordered my deck...but I already feel like I know most of them and anticipating the secrets they want to whisper to me...This is not a book u loan :) noo noo noo this is a "Bible" Tarot Bible..which I will be rereading again and again....A Must Have for the Tarot and Spiritual Development :).......If anyone could recommend any spiritual tarot books and books on symbols that are very deep and enlightening......Jenny ## Features - Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom: A Book of Tarot ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,188,536 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #118 in Fortune Telling #298 in Tarot #3,440 in Occultism | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,084 Reviews | ## Images ![Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom: A Book of Tarot - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61YA4IEKZFL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A reference I'll be using for years to come. *by R***S on July 13, 2006* I was wary of buying a tarot book online, though I finally did make the decision to buy this book based on the reviews here as compared to the reviews of other tarot books.

I have passed that road too, and yeah there are a lot of good books for beginner. Time after time, you will come back to just one deck: Raider White deck, and for me the miniature deck (the size of almost a usual regular bicycle deck). And you will start to forget all the book and time to time come back to the very few books you love. And this one is it. It is a very rich book with deep reading of all the cards. It touch you and teach you deeply and teach you how to grow your own way of reading the pictures of tarot deck. This is not for the ultimate beginners! But invest in this one. After you get "bored" to the beginner books of tarot, you will start to appreciate this book. It is not for the people who just "want to know a bit" about tarot. In fact if you only want one book on Tarot, this is it. The book describe deeply and richly for each card. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2204933-seventy-eight-degrees-of-wisdom-a-book-of-tarot](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2204933-seventy-eight-degrees-of-wisdom-a-book-of-tarot) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
