"A journey through the tarot cards, first of all, is a journey into our own depths. Whatever we encounter along the way is, at its core, an aspect of our deepest and highest self. For the tarot cards, which originated in a time when the mysterious and irrational had more reality than they do today, bring us an effective source for the ancient wisdom of our innermost self. And a new wisdom is a great need of our time—wisdom to solve our personal problems and wisdom to find creative answers to the universal questions that confront us all."
