Tarot is not only a tool for evolution and self-divinization. It is the torch that lights the fire through which we must all walk in order to transcend and achieve the highest victory a human being can aspire to complete: self-love.
Most tarot guidebooks and card interpretations adhere to established perspectives that are heavily influenced by Christianity and other standardized—and often binary—conceptions of the universe and everything it contains: society, religion, moral codes, races, patriarchy, and more. The Left-Hand Path of Tarot offers the perspective of the outsiders, the outcasts, the marginalized, the nonconforming, and others who live in the fringes of what society labels as “civilized,” “acceptable,” or “canon.”
Cards with a negative reputation, like The Tower or The Devil, acquire a completely new layer of meaning that has extensive and relevant shadow-work applications and extremely practical advice in matters that are often frowned upon by spiritualists, such as kink, self-branding, monetization, body transformation, glamour, and self-defense. It’s the chaos, subversion, and alchemy of the self in the left-hand path of tarot that challenges social norms and leads you to explore the deepest parts of your soul.
“Truly, The Left-Hand Path of Tarot serves as a tarot for our times, one that invites us to direct contemplation of the eerie trickster dimensions of phenomenal reality and of our own souls, so that we might learn to more deeply enjoy our wholeness.” —from the foreword by Carolyn Elliott
