Penthasilia
Hi Penthasilia! We were talking about the videos on his YouTube channel as being in Spanish.
I've read the introduction, and skimmed the rest. I haven't bought it yet, but probably will eventually. I wouldn't rely on it for historic fact - he is a mystic and a storyteller, not a historian. But there are plenty of sources online and in books for the factual history of tarot. I can forgive him the bending of the "truth" in the service of a greater understanding of the cards.
Gotcha! I should have read more closely. And yes- I know about the historical fact piece, but I am also not a historian, and tend more toward the mystical side of card usage- so that is where I tend to travel anyway- which is why I liked his book- bringing it to life.
