This book is very fun easy to read, I couldn't put the book down! When I was done reading this book, I felt more comfortable with the basic interpretations of the cards, even the reversals. She also teaches basic astrology, numerology, a little history, meditation techniques, etc. If you are a beginner, I would definately recommend this book along with "A Complete Guide to the Tarot" by Eden Gray, which got very good reviews, and it's only 6.99. Both of these books combined together will give you a very good foundation for tarot card reading, interpretation and awakening, take my word for it! Have fun reading!

In my current studies of the tarot, I've looked through several books on the subject. All of them had good information. However, I felt this book covered the "basics" much better than other books I've read. From the book's beginning, where it tells you how to interpret your cards and how to handle them, through Part II (The Major Arcana), which contains chapters on Symbolic Interpretation & Astrological Correspondences of the Major Arcana, and using the Major Arcana as trump cards in a reading, to Part III (descriptions of the Minor Arcana in general, and descriptions of each suit), to Part IV (doing a reading), it contains a wealth of information. I especially liked the different meanings behind the Major Arcana cards, as well as the chapter on various card spreads (horseshoe, horoscope, seven-card spread, etc). Up until now, I mostly had only known of the Traditional Celtic Cross spread. It's nice to know there are others as well.The book also contains brief descriptions of what each individual number card and court cards means. That is also helpful in doing a reading. It's obvious to me in reading this book that the author put a lot of work into writing it and is serious about the accuracy of the information contained within it. Well worth buying if you wish to learn more about The Tarot.I do agree with other reviewers about the editing. It mars an otherwise excellent book.

For me the Everything Tarot Book was a first insite into the world of the tarot. It explains what each card means, how it relates to astrology, how to use ten differant spreads, and a number of other things. This book is a wonderful book to begin with, and is easy to use, and understand.
