The Truth of the Waite-Smith Tarot

Deepen your understanding of tarot (and yourself) through this deep dive into the cards’ symbolism, including its origins in the collective unconscious and the truth behind Pamela Colman Smith’s art.

Discover how spirit communication, the Akashic records, Jungian archetypes, and tarot all come together! This book explores the history of tarot and the origins of its symbology—that intuitive and universal lexicon of imagery and meaning—that draws from our collective unconscious. 

Expert tarotist Sharon Anne Klingler’s revelations about Pamela Colman Smith and the true authors of tarot, and the new symbolism she uncovers in the classic art, will forever change your perspective on the meanings—including a persuasive argument for swapping the energy of the suits of wands and swords, based on Pamela’s iconography. Each card gets analyzed in incredible detail, including all the astrological knowledge, Celtic influences, and historical context you need to understand what the cards really mean for you and your life.

Sharon guides you to tap into your intuition so you can read the cards intuitively without deep study or constantly referring to a book! By inviting Spirit into your readings, the Collective Unconscious becomes as significant a partner in your life as it was in the creation of this deck. This book is for anyone ready to see the cards through a fresh, perhaps more accurate, lens and to connect with the human experience.
