Not just another Tarot book, Untold Tarot presents historic styles of reading little known in the modern era. It teaches traditional ways of reading used for pre-twentieth-century decks, drawing upon older cartomantic arts such as blending and pairing cards, reading lines, and following "line of sight" to piece together untold stories according to the direction in which the characters are facing. The time to rediscover these lost skills is ripe, and the practical and personal approach presented here empowers you to read in your own fluid style and develop a full palette of skills. The book also includes a selection of card spreads drawn from traditional French and Italian sources, plus methods of reading cards based on the author's own extensive research. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 14.99 x 1.78 x 20.83 cm | | Edition | 1st | | Isbn 10 | 0764355619 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0764355615 | | Item Weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print Length | 224 pages | | Publication Date | 28 Sept. 2018 | | Publisher | REDFeather | ## Images ![Untold Tarot: The Lost Art of Reading Ancient Tarots - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81EvsppnKBL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Old Ways of Reading the Tarot Revisited *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 7 October 2018* In recent years, interest in reading tarot using such decks as the Tarot de Marseille has been steadily growing. For anyone wishing to explore this way of reading, where spot cards lack the sort of illustrations one finds in the Waite-Smith deck, this book is a timely godsend. It is well-researched and beautifully illustrated with cards from a dozen or so continental tarots. Caitlín Matthews explains each trump individually from the divinatory angle, and ably demonstrates how predictive meanings are arrived at for spot cards bearing little in the way of ornamentation beyond the requisite number of suit signs – three goblets on the 3 of Cups, seven swords on the 7 of Swords, and so forth.I was introduced to tarot reading in the ’50s, before the ascendancy of the Waite-Smith deck, and much presented here is familiar to me. Many of these methods were in use back then. Even the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, founded in the late Victorian era, took the direction in which the card representing the inquirer faced as the direction in which the cards were to be read. Techniques such as these have largely fallen into disuse and I applaud their being brought back to tarot readers’ attention.A breadth of methodologies is laid out for the reader to try out. The author suggests working with them all and retaining those one clicks with. I, certainly, found some more suited to my temperament and approach to readings than others. No matter, for the author supplies a wealth of approaches.The techniques are well explained and nicely illustrated using spreads from Caitlín Matthews’ personal casebook. For anybody drawn to traditional reading methods prior to the publication of the Waite-Smith deck, ‘Untold Tarot’ will be an invaluable addition to their bookshelf. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 10 October 2018* I have just finished reading the "Untold Tarot". This book is excellent, well written, with a great research material.I am now a huge fan of Caitlin Matthews. I am very happy that I own this particular book.This is the right time for me to apply some of the "untold" tarot ways of reading. In one word, I love it.This book is a must-have for every serious tarot reader. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Refreshing look at the reading of Tarot *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 30 December 2021* The book is beautifully laid out and good quality, although there are a few mistakes such as the misspelling of Pamela Colman Smiths name and several cards miss named such as Temperance on page 37 which is actually Strength.The author helps the cartomancer loosen the grip of the accrued 'meanings' of the cards and encourages the reader to actually look at what is presented on each card similar to the master tarot reader Enrique Enriquez, to consider sight lines, direction etc. and each cards relation to others it is with in the spread, how it speaks and relates to its fellow cards, not to dispense with the given meanings but to consider them in the round.After all tarot is a visual system otherwise we may just as well have words like 'The Magician' written on a blank card! ## Frequently Bought Together - Untold Tarot: The Lost Art of Reading Ancient Tarot - The Marseille Tarot Revealed: A Complete Guide to Symbolism, Meanings & Methods - Cbd Tarot De Marseille --- ## 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/78919695-untold-tarot-the-lost-art-of-reading-ancient-tarots](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/78919695-untold-tarot-the-lost-art-of-reading-ancient-tarots) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-12*
