An excellent treatise on the symbology of the Tarot - both the Marsailles deck (by Joseph Campbell) and the Waite deck (by Richard Roberts).Echoing some of the other reviews - the material is very dense. It is an excellent work, but not for the beginner. A good foundation in Jung and Campbell will go a long way to helping to digest the concepts. Also, Joseph Campbell's contributions are pretty limited. If you are looking for pure Joe Campbell, this is going to disappoint.The detailed analysis of the symbols of the Waite Tarot opened new vistas that I had not seen before. While Roberts himself admits that the analysis is somewhat subjective and specualtive, he ties the material back to Jung and others with an adroit style, and there is little in the way of pure speculation.A good read for the advanced student of Jung and Campbell - not so good for the novice.
