This book is a study of the origin and development in European culture of Triumphs (Major Arcana decks of Tarot cards), which are interpreted in it as archetypal models reflected in the facets of our civilization, in the art and inner world of every person. This work analyzes in detail the semantic and symbolic components of the first seven cards of the Major Arcana – the so-called first septenary of the Tarot. The book is intended both for a reader interested in an in-depth study of the history of maps, and for a person who wants to gain an understanding of the non-obvious patterns of European art and culture. Those interested in Tarot cards will find in the book a lot of rare information about ancient decks and other historical information. People who are far from this tradition can find here data on the interaction of certain “archetype ideas” that we encounter every day, but are not always able to track or even notice. The study provides a broad cultural context to the history of Tarot cards and takes understanding of the Major Arcana to a fundamentally new level. For each Arcana, amplifications and a wide range of various parallels from various types of arts and areas of human knowledge are proposed.
