ATS Convention
Tarot: its interfaith and cross-cultural artistic expression

Since the 15th century, tarot has developed in cultural contexts that is often at the edge of local orthodoxy, drawing from a range of secular and religious expression. This has continued to be case in the centuries that immediately followed, reaching a climax in the closing of the 20th century. Entering the 21st century, we now have access to tarot images that have found their expression in cross-cultural contexts and have permitted various spiritualities to stream into decks that continue to be variously designed. Increasingly these draw in ways in which the imagery enables access to ways of viewing the world through reflections that cut across local cultural and religious boundaries. Through this, each deck, on reflection, not only deepens our understanding of our fellow human beings who may otherwise remain at arm's length, as well as deepening our own personal and individual spiritual striving through the opportunity the images provide to work ever more deeply in our chosen personal path.

Recommended tarot deck and book:

In striving for a simple recommendation, I have in mind those who may be quite new to tarot and wish for a relatively easy entry. All books published by the Association for Tarot Studies I would also and without hesitation highly recommend.
