The Heart Sutra and Tarot - Paperback

by Camelia Elias (Author)

Normally we say that we use the Tarot to go beyond the habitual. We simply want to see if there's anything that makes us go, aha! Texts in general can have that effect on us. But what about the texts that take us way beyond anything we can imagine? Well, we can read those through the prism of the Tarot cards. Why not? This little book is a reading of the famed Heart Sutra that caused heart attacks in some who heard it. To avoid such misfortune, the author set out to go beyond this sutra's deadly spell and see how she might understand it through images. The result is a text on how to cope with life. Nothing less.
