Summary of Rachel Pollack's Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The image of a young man hanging upside down by his left leg from a wooden frame was derived from Christian tradition, which described St. Peter as being crucified upside down so he could not be said to be copying his Lord.

#2 The Tarot cards seem to be a representation of the Kabbalah, a Jewish mystical tradition, despite the lack of evidence connecting Bembo to any occult groups. The cards seem to demand an esoteric interpretation, despite the lack of evidence.

#3 The Tarot is a path of personal growth through understanding of ourselves and life. It is a way to draw us into its mysterious world, which ultimately can never be explained.

#4 The Tarot of Arthur Edward Waite, whose Rider pack appeared in 1910, is the most popular version of the cards today. It has been criticized for changing some of the trump cards from their accepted version, but it has a wide range of pictures that reflect the cards’ meanings.
