This isn’t a “pick up and leaf through mid-reading” kind of book, I’ll say that flat out. Instead Pollack prefers to study the occult symbolism and psychic significance of each card (to the point where, memorably, she went on at length about horse symbolism in The Chariot. Esteemed review-reader will note that there are no horses in the chariot card, only implied horses. This is the level we are operating on.) She draws from a ton of different resources, from Waite’s texts to Hermetic philosophy to Kabbalah to Jungian psychology and Hindu myth. Nothing is off the table here. While this wouldn’t be my first choice to introduce someone to reading tarot, since I’ve been trying to increase my understanding of the cards it’s been an incredibly useful tool.

Thanks Rachel!!
The definitions are really fluid which is both vaguely helpful and a reminder that all things are fluid and you have to put your personhood into your practices and derive meaning from the self.

An incredibly informative book. I listened to the audio book and have pages of notes. Would recommend a hardcopy if you like to highlight and jot notes (don't hate me)

Thus book acts as both a very good refresher and a historical reference for the cards. After a twenty year-break from tarot, this book was very informative and reconnected me to the cards and to reading.
i've had a deck of tarot cards for a few years, hardly using it and kinda just going by intuition and little tidbits i picked up along the way. now i have a more complete grasp on it and i've been giving readings. my confidence in my intuition and motivation to keep pulling cards for myself and others is waaaaayyy up now.
