Introduction

But he planned to make as it were a moving likeness of eternity; and, at the same time that he set in order the Heaven, he made, of eternity that abides in unity, an ever-flowing likeness moving according to numberthat to which we have given the name Time.

Plato , Timaeus

You are about to take a journey through time with nothing more than a playing-card deck, a tarot deck, and perhaps a Lenormand deck in your hands with the tarot time traveller to guide you.

On this journey, you will learn how to read the future as you pick up pieces of the puzzle from the greatest tarot teachers throughout history. The tarot time traveller will escort you in a series of ventures to discover many of the eras of tarot and their mysteries.

You will set off to the very beginnings of cartomantic (card-reading) development and learn different ways to read a normal deck of playing cards. You can also time-hop if you wish and choose your own journey of discovery by exploring the time zones that call to you. You might like to start in the present day and work backwards, or go straight away to the swinging sixties and learn how to read from the rebels of the time, or head to the late Victorian establishment figures who influenced modern tarot.

We hope you will enjoy the experience of learning the whole history of the cards in your hands as much as you learn all the special methods included in this book.

If you are an absolute beginner, youll have a complete course in tarot rooted in elements of a very real tarot tradition. As an existing expert, you can use this book to fill in the gaps of eras you may not have already explored in depth.

Much historical research has gone into this book and there are many unique exercises, so you will also find some fantastic reading lists and decks to explore at the end of each era. You will find each era brought to life with a vignette that opens each chapter and several sections.

We will begin our adventure by surveying the time map of tarot and packing our temporal travel bag with suitable card meanings and emergency methods in case we run into any trouble on our voyage.
