Tarot is like a puzzle or a work of art--and a great way to maximize intuition and have fun, too. In this insightful, imaginative look at interpretation, two of the best-known authors in the field examine 122 card layouts, complete with instructions on when and how to use them. Learn the basics; read personality and year cards in a way thats specifically related to your own interests; and explore larger cards and networks of cards. Featuring a rich variety of approaches--including Cycle of the Year (with 20 major layouts), tarot and astrology, and Arthur A. Waite and Aleister Crowleys Golden Dawn System--this guide contains the tools for finding answers to lifes pressing questions.
This book is great for someone getting started in the tarot. It has a very quick and easy method for learning the minor arcana, and even has a very brief discussion on some of the more esoteric aspects (i.e. colors, astrological attributions, etc.). Nothing too heavy for a neophyte to get drowned in, but a very good starting point. The book claims to have 122 or so spreads. This is a little misleading, since a few of them are "Pick a card you like, and just think about it for a while" kind of spreads. Which those are great for people trying to become more intuitive readers, but a few of them seem to be there to soak up another page. There's a lot of great spreads here, you're bound to find a few you'll love. A number of them are for more meditative purposes, and they've got spreads that couples are meant to do together, etc. I really walked away liking this book for what it is. For the price, its worth it. If you're a seasoned tarot reader, however, it may be less appealing.
a wonderful source for ant tarot reader!
