Practical Initiation to the Marseille Tarot-Sylvie Lacombe

Llynn

There aren't many books in English about the Marseille Tarot and I wondered if anyone had read this one. Thanks, Llynn

Hi :) Llynn ~ I tried to find out something about
the English language version some time ago and
had no luck... but here is the information on the
original French version. Hope it helps (a little?)!

Sylvie Simon

As an aside (please excuse the digression) there is
another Sylvie whose books on the Marseille are in
English...she casts a wide net, interpretation-wise,
but I love my big hard bound copy of "The Tarot" :)

Yes, Fulgour! I love this one, too. I do think she does a better job with the majors, though, than she does with the minors...the minors seem to be more quickly summarized and more along the lines of later interpretations ....except for her number discussions. I love the opening sections wherein she describes how she thinks "tarot works."

Great book...bought it used for about $3 at Amazon.com

One can get it there now for $1.95....will cost more to ship!

Practical Initiation to the Marseille Tarot

Hello Fulgour
I managed to get an English translation of Sylvie Lacombe's book from e-bay uk. The translator is Judith Oringer, Harmony Zen Editions, 2004, ISBN: 2-88493-025-6. It's only just arrived and I've only had time to skim through it, but it looks intriguing.

Study of Sylvie Lacombe's book will have to wait until I have read Sylvie Simon's. Both books were offered on e-bay uk at the same time and arrived in the same postal delivery! Sylvie Simon's book is a hardback edition produced by Magna Books, 1991, ISBN: 1-85422-16-3. Again I've only just skimmed the pages but the illustrations look georgeous. Thank you for suggesting this book.
Best wishes, Llynn

I just found this thread (ten years later) and am wondering if anyone has finished Ms. Lacombe's book. It is available on Amazon, but the seller is asking a very large sum for the book, so I am wondering if it is good. It's also available in French for a much more reasonable sum, but my French is...ahem...rusty.

Thanks, all
Barb
