{"product_id":"9781567182668","title":"Keeper of Words","description":"There are actually several myths associated with King Arthur. Perhaps you have in mind the beautiful lords and ladies of the round table. Or maybe you think of the Quest for the Holy Grail. Perhaps you think of the early Celtic legends about him. Whatever you associate with the stories that surround this legendary king, you are sure to agree that these myths have fascinated Westerners for up to 1500 years. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Tarot has been popular for only half that time, but it, too, has caught the fascination of people in the West. Now you can see how easily these two spiritual paths can be combined thanks to Anna-Marie Ferguson's \u003ci\u003eA Keeper of Words. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eAlthough designed to accompany and enhance her \u003ci\u003eLegend\u003c\/i\u003e Tarot deck (available separately), this book is also a great way to get to the core of both the Arthurian myths and legends and the Tarot. The book is based upon Ferguson's amazing seventy-eight watercolor \u003ci\u003eLegend\u003c\/i\u003e illustrations (all are reproduced here in black-and-white). Each of the Tarot cards is associated with an event or person in the Arthurian legends. By combining the two you will have a new perspective on the Tarot and a deeper understanding of the mythic symbolism of the tales of King Arthur. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFor example, the book associates the Major Arcana card the Hierophant with Taliesin. The image shows Taliesin introducing children to \"his lady,\" the harp. You will learn that Taliesin encourages questions from all and fosters their creative, artistic talents. Thus, the meaning of the card is \"A person with experience he or she is willing to share. An authority. A kind and generous mentor who nurtures spiritual awareness.\" Reversed it means \"Rigid thinking with no room for growth.\" \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe description and symbolism for this and all seventy-eight images, as well as the meanings of the images in a Tarot reading, go into far more detail. In this way your readings become deeper, more intuitive and multilayered. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFor anyone interested in the Tarot (especially the \u003ci\u003eLegend\u003c\/i\u003e Tarot), or King Arthur, this book is a must. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Llewellyn Worldwide, LTD.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47034453426416,"sku":"9781567182668","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781567182668_p0.jpg?v=1763767593","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781567182668","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
