From the author:

The Seventy-Eight Steps of Wisdom was originally published in two parts, in 1980 and 1983. Since then, the book has been constantly republished. When it first came out, it was very different from other Tarot books. This was not a list of fortune-telling formulas, occult diagrams, or obscure references. The focus was on the interpretation of the cards – not just for prediction, but rather as a way of understanding oneself and, moreover, the spiritual wonders of life.

When I wrote it, I tried to keep potential readers in mind all the time. In my mind, these were both those who were well acquainted with spiritual and psychological ideas, and those who knew absolutely nothing about them, but could easily comprehend them and adapt them to their lives if given the opportunity. My main task was to write in such a way that the former would not get bored, and the latter would not get confused.

Who is this book for:

For those who are interested in Tarot, self-knowledge, esotericism.

For fans of the “Tarot MYTH” series.
