title: The Windows of Tarot
author:  Frederick David Graves 
description: Here, for the first time, is a book that is more than a history of the Tarot. It is a view through the ancient symbols of their meaning in our own lives in terms of love, opportunity, human relationships and self-fulfillment. Fully illustrated using the beautiful Aquarian Tarot deck published by Morgan &amp; Morgan, the author explains the symbolism in each card and teaches you how to give readings and make interpretations. For all, this is an exciting glimpse of the world that is usually beyond our understanding - a glimpse of ourselves - through the windows of Tarot.

  He had been the foremost of the Fair Folk, the most powerful, the one to
