內容簡介

對西方文化來說，龍是一種神秘的動物，只存在傳說和神話中，因為這個特性給了許多作家靈感，例如托爾金《魔戒》系列中的史矛格和羅琳《哈利波特》系列中出現的龍。

除了常被形容為殘暴、貪婪的化身，西方的龍大多都個性狡猾，善於發表言論，牠們遵守自己世界的規則，人類對他們來說並非世界的中心，所以在故事中常常會有龍來摧毀人類世界的敘述。

理解龍的規則是通往智慧的其中一條道路，塔羅同樣也是一種凌駕於人類理解力以上的力量，將龍的精神運用在塔羅占卜上，則出現了這套以龍為中心形象的塔羅牌。

本套塔羅牌牌數是傳統的七十八張，牌面的圖案則是各式各樣的龍，有噴火龍、展開翅膀的龍、海龍、還有隱居在地底世界的龍，這些神秘的動物將帶你探索過去的秘密、現在的可能性、還有未來可能發生的事件。

The mysteries of the tarot and the legend of dragons come together in this stunning box set, including a full tarot deck and 64-page guidebook.

Majestic in its power, the dragon in Western culture appears in myth and legend as the jealous guardian of a treasure hoard—epitomized by J.R.R. Tolkien’s Smaug, and seen more recently in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series and George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones series. But that is not the whole story—dragons are complex creatures, and the beast is usually credited with cunning and often the power of speech—it is not just a brutal, terrifying monster. Although occasionally hostile, as when an earth dragon stirs and human cities crumble, there is no personal malice. Dragons simply operate by different laws that do not always place our interest at their center. Understanding those laws and adapting to accommodate them is one path to wisdom. This is the spirit in which dragons inspire this tarot—tarot also operates by laws that are slightly beyond our conscious grasp, lifting the veil on the spiritual undercurrent of the worlds we inhabit. This traditional 78-card deck contains fire-breathing dragons, winged dragons of the air, sea serpents, and earth dwellers who will reveal to you the secrets of the past, the possibilities of the present, and all the potential of the future.
