[edit] Description
Tarot Tales demonstrates how Tarot can be used for far more than just divination - in this case, in can also be used to create and tell stories. This book is a collection of sixteen short stories, all written by different people with different styles and genres, who did a Tarot spread and created a story from it. Some used just three cards, whilst others used more complex spreads, but they all told a story. These stories vary from retellings of myths and humour, to fantasy and horror. Each story begins with the spread used and the deck used (showcasing a wide variety of very different decks, including the Visconti Sforza, Magickal, and Thoth).
