London is an ancient city, and a vibrant one. Over the past two thousand years each breath, each word, and each life of its many inhabitants have woven a fascinating and complex living history filled with lore and legend, personality and intrigue. The Tarot of London Lore dips into this deep tapestry of London life and sets it against the traditional Western divinatory system of the tarot.
The deck can be read in much the same way as a standard Rider-Waite or Marseilles tarot deck, and comes complete with a guide to the cards. The book contains a brief description of the traditional meaning of each card, and tells the story of the piece of London history or folklore that it illustrates. Both traditional correspondences and inspiration from these London tales can be drawn on in interpreting the cards.
All of the stories told herein have left their mark upon the city, and many of their sites, curios and monuments remain in London waiting to be visited by the curious traveller.
