The Left-Hand Path of Tarot : Breaking Taboos, Confronting Shadows, and Achieving Self-Love

“Truly, The Left-Hand Path of Tarot serves as a tarot for our times, one that invites us to direct contemplation of the eerie trickster dimensions of phenomenal reality and of our own souls, so that we might learn to more deeply enjoy our wholeness.” -from the foreword by Carolyn ElliottThe Left Hand Path of Tarot offers the perspective of the outsiders, the outcasts, the marginalized, the nonconforming, and all who live on the fringes of what society labels as “civilized,” “acceptable,” or “canon.” Cards with a negative reputation, like The Tower or The Devil, acquire a completely new layer of meaning that has extensive and relevant shadow-work applications and extremely practical advice in matters that are often frowned upon by spiritualists, such as kink, self-branding, monetization, body transformation, glamour, and self-defense.The Left Hand Path of Tarot suggests a paradigm shift for tarot archetypes that goes beyond classic interpretation of the major arcana. It’s the chaos, subversion, and alchemy of the self in the left-hand path of tarot that challenges social norms and leads you to explore the deepest parts of your soul. It is the torch that lights the fire through which we must all walk in order to transcend and achieve the highest victory a human being can aspire to complete: self-love.
