Practical Initiation to the Marseille Tarot-Sylvie Lacombe


There aren't many books in English about the Marseille Tarot and I wondered if anyone had read this one. Thanks, Llynn

the English language version some time ago and

Sylvie Simon


As an aside (please excuse the digression) there is
another Sylvie whose books on the Marseille are in
English...she casts a wide net, interpretation-wise,
but I love my big hard bound copy of "The Tarot"

The Tarot: Art, Mysticism And Divination
Hardcover / 1854222163

Tarot: Art, Mysticism, and Divination
Crescent Books / August 1991 / 051706040X

Tarot: Art, Mysticism, and Divination (Illustrated)
118 Pages / January 1988 / 0892812168

Yes, Fulgour! I love this one, too. I do think she does a better job with the majors, though, than she does with the minors...the minors seem to be more quickly summarized and more along the lines of later interpretations ....except for her number discussions. I love the opening sections wherein she describes how she thinks "tarot works."

Great book...bought it used for about $3 at Amazon.com

One can get it there now for $1.95....will cost more to ship!

Hello Fulgour
I managed to get an English translation of Sylvie Lacombe's book from e-bay uk. The translator is Judith Oringer, Harmony Zen Editions, 2004, ISBN: 2-88493-025-6. It's only just arrived and I've only had time to skim through it, but it looks intriguing.

Study of Sylvie Lacombe's book will have to wait until I have read Sylvie Simon's. Both books were offered on e-bay uk at the same time and arrived in the same postal delivery! Sylvie Simon's book is a hardback edition produced by Magna Books, 1991, ISBN: 1-85422-16-3. Again I've only just skimmed the pages but the illustrations look georgeous. Thank you for suggesting this book.
Best wishes, Llynn
