Philosophy & Religion Spirituality & New Age Psychology & Self-Help
Barbara G Walker’s 1984 classic, The Secrets of the Tarot: Origins, History, and Symbolism, is a vintage paperback that blends folklore, mythology, and New Age mysticism into one richly illustrated guide. Collectors and readers alike prize Walker’s clear, scholarly take on how the cards evolved from medieval Europe to today.
This 260-page Harper & Row edition arrives in good, gently-read condition: pages are crisp and unmarked, the binding is tight, and the only sign of age is light foxing on the closed page edge. No handwriting, dog-ears, or smoke odors—just a tidy copy ready for immediate use or display.
Whether you’re a tarot beginner, an art-and-culture enthusiast, or a seeker of spiritual insight, Walker’s exploration of tarot symbolism offers enduring value. The book’s plentiful illustrations make it as visually engaging as it is informative, perfect for both study and casual browsing.
