The Tarot Book of the Dead: A Chthonic Journey of Death, Mediumship, and the Art of Guiding Souls

"A compassionate, courageous, and beautifully conceived guide to one of tarot's most sacred purposes: helping us face death, grief, and the unseen world with greater wisdom and compassion." --Amy Zerner and Monte Farber, artists and authors of The Enchanted Tarot and The Karmic Balance Tarot

The Tarot Book of the Dead provides a rare, comprehensive guide to tarot mediumship, grief work, and psychopomp practice. Author Jenna Matlin offers not only practical techniques but a transformational experience that reclaims tarot's deep historical and mythological relationship with death and shows tarot readers that mediumship is absolutely within their birthright.

Structured as a chthonic journey--a descent into the Underworld, a trial within the depths, an ascent with wisdom, and a return to the living world forever changed--this guide focuses on three main themes: the dying, the dead, and the grieving. Readers can use this book for their own personal work, while it also provides guidance for people in fields that touch on death, including death midwives and doulas, grief workers, hospice carers, and mediums.

The Tarot Book of the Dead is, at its heart, an initiatory process and a hands-on guide through which readers can deepen their tarot practice and their relationship with death.
