Rating: 5/5 stars

I absolutely loved this book. I also love the author as her Tarot deck was the first one I ever got and is my favorite one. This was absolutely everything I could have asked for when looking for a book to learn more about tarot. I have read a few things on tarot and I really want to learn more, this book was the perfect thing. It is just absolutely chocked full of information that I am sure it would be amazing as a reference book to keep on hand even after an initial reading. I really can’t even begin to tell you just how much amazing information is stuffed into this book, just know that it is everything you could need to get a firm introduction to the who, what, where, when, why, and how of tarot.
I felt that this book was just so magical. Maybe that was because for the majority of my time reading I had my tarot cards out or it could have been the dream-like writing style, I don’t know. Just be aware that this book reads in a very interesting way. That could also be due in part to the massive amount of journaling prompts sprinkled throughout the book. I personally don’t journal as I just can’t but for people who do, I imagine you could fill up a whole journal with the prompts and exercises in this book. They looked really solid to me.
Another thing I loved was the comprehensive explanation of the cards and their meanings in the latter third of the book. That section has so much potential as a study aid and reference spot. For the major arcana cards, it explains each card’s: archetypal understanding, occult meaning, fortunetelling meaning, shadow side (reversal), magic, and astrological influence.
If this is not enough to convince you of this book nothing can. Go check it out.
