A Christian guide to the Tarot

In the chaos of daily life, many Christians long for the time and mental clarity to reflect on scripture, to worship, and to pray. The Tarot can become an unexpected tool in this journey, inviting us to pause, to contemplate, and to seek insight and wisdom in our walk. In The Contemplative Tarot, author Brittany Muller draws deeply on Christian tradition and theology to create a tarot practice built on spiritual reflection, prayer, and worship.

The Tarot has held countless meanings to countless readers over the course of its existence, but The Contemplative Tarot offers a uniquely Christian interpretations of the cards, including Bible verses and meditations on each of their spiritual meanings. In addition, the court cards each draw inspiration from life of a figure from Christian history. Brittany offers practical guidance on how to use the Tarot in a Christian context, whether as prompts for personal prayer, small reminders of spiritual truths, or as part of a more structured practice such as the Ignatian examen.

The Contemplative Tarot offers readers a thoughtful, introspective new interpretation of the Tarot and an invitation to create powerful moments of reflection and worship in their daily lives.

"The great Christian mystic Julian of Norwich said "the fullness of joy is to behold God in all." Brittany Muller helps us to find God's beautiful and loving presence in one of the most fascinating, yet misunderstood, elements of the western inner tradition: the Tarot. This insightful book will help you to see both the cards -- and Christian spirituality -- in surprising new ways."
-- Carl McColman, author of The Big Book of Christian Mysticism and Eternal Heart

"Brittany has written this book for those of us who are deconstructing the Christian expressions of our youth and also for those of us who believe in the blurry something-beyond-ourselves that only glimmers in our peripheral vision. For weary religious folks like myself, this book is a balm for the soul." --Liz Charlotte Grant, publisher of the Curator Magazine
