The Tales Behind Tarot approaches the 78 cards the way a storyteller would: not as symbols to memorize but as characters to meet, follow, and understand. Written by Alison Davies, tarot reader, teacher, and storyteller, this hardcover book gives each card its own unforgettable narrative, making the meanings feel lived-in rather than looked up.

Key Features:

  • Approach: Each of the 78 cards is brought to life through its own story, giving readers a narrative framework for understanding symbolism that goes deeper than keyword lists.

  • Major Arcana: Follows the Fool on his journey through the Major Arcana, meeting the Magician, the Hermit, Death, the High Priestess, and the full cast of iconic figures along the way.

  • Minor Arcana: Explores the four suits through their own story arcs, including three sisters rising to power in the Suit of Pentacles and a world-changing idea born in the Suit of Wands.

  • Creator: Written by Alison Davies, an expert practitioner whose storytelling approach makes this book equally valuable for aspiring and experienced readers.

  • Format: A 224-page hardcover with key words, themes, and story-based interpretations designed to deepen any tarot practice.

The Tales Behind Tarot is for those who learn best through story. It gives the cards context, and context gives the reader something no keyword list ever can: genuine understanding.
