Edit, 4/30/24:
I think part of the key is to remember this book was written in 1980 originally. The interview in the end of the audio version gave me a better glimpse into the author and her point of view. So I’m going to go back and listen again since I want to hear it in that context.

It got really weird. And just kept going weird.

The title of this book is accurate. It is a tome loaded with useful guidance, insights and wisdom. If you have any interest at all in the Tarot, this is a foundational work to have on your shelf and refer to often.
I enjoy exploring different takes on things. Plenty of food for thought here for anyone curious about tarot.

I wanted to like this book going in and heck if it wasn't for a few issues here and there (these aren't just issues with this book but the larger tarot reading community as a whole. However I've read many tarot books that have avoided these issues so it can be done) I likely would have rated it higher. Rachel Pollack is considered by many to have been an expert on the tarot and this book is a more in-depth look at the card's meanings that's not just a list of keywords. But Rachel Pollack pulls a lot from the Golden Dawn which given that The Rider Waite Smith deck is the most well-known tarot deck right now makes sense yet the Golden Dawn stole Kabbalah from Jewish people, and she references Kabbalah and Jewish people who have studied Kabbalah with little to no mention that it is a Jewish practice. She also talks about the Golden Dawn's view of gender which reading that being repeated by a trans woman was wild. Like the Golden Dawn though some numbers were male or female given how many holes men and women have in their bodies. Oh and let's not skip the fact that she uses the G slur as an aside she wrote on page 263 "...the Romany (the [slur here])". I'm disappointed but sadly not surprised that this book is a big deal in the tarot space with these glaring issues.
