The Glastonbury Tarot is a blending of philosophical traditions that take the reader through the Pagan, Christian and Arthurian stories associated with the mystical Isle of Avalon. This companion book to The Glastonbury Tarot cards clearly and concisely describes the history, symbolism and divinatory meanings of the 78 cards. Each image reveals a step along the path of the soul’s journey, and gently guides the reader towards deeper self-understanding. Lisa Tenzin-Dolma is the author of 16 books, and her visionary paintings have been widely exhibited. She created The Glastonbury Tarot while living in Glastonbury.
sumptuous feast Lisa’s deck succeeded where all others have failed with me. I am able to remember the information about each card (I have a poor memory) because she packs so much symbolism into each image. Not only that but the energy she so obviously poured lovingly into each card shines so brightly as to burn their meaning into my very soul.

If I diodn’t live here I would want to after seeing this fabulous deck which I would recommend to anyone who loves Glastonbury with it’s profound mystery and soul-poetry… and to anyone who loves the Tarot. A rare treat.

The artwork on the Tarot cards is a surprising blend of present day and ancient concepts with well known characters as the subject on some of the cards. The artist utilizes a mystical method of painting actual backgrounds from the spiritual sites in Glastonbury and other related places in Europe. There is a special spiritual feel to this set that won’t let you down. It is the one Tarot book I have actually read through, not just used for divination! and enjoyed the reading! It also has some unique spreads I have never seen before. If you are interested in the medieval times, this is a wonderful tarot deck to own. Just out of curiosity, I called my local Waldenbook store and not only did they not have it in stock, they could not even order it. Amazon.com is THE…
