Summary: excellent source for Tarot users
Review: A friend once let me borrow her copy of the first addition of this book and I found it extremely helpful and had to get my own copy. Its approach to Tarot is very positive and user friendly, and is an extensive source of esoteric symbolism. Although its interpretations of the Thoth deck may very from some of Crowley's, I found them very in-tune with the energy of the deck. I recommend it often to friends. Wonderful!

Summary: A most useful tool
Review: a lot of work went into this book and it was well worth the purchase price. I was in a bookstore and was looking at a copy when a man came up to me and said 'this is first-rate'. I agree with him.

Summary: The interpretation is not helpful for a beginner.
Review: After decided to shift from Rider-Waite Deck, I bought Thoth Deck along with this book. I find the section where an author explores each detail of the card very useful. However, the interpretation section is not helpful for a beginner like me at all. The author look into the meaning of each card more than just fortune telling but a way of life and self-discovery. The book doesn't provide an information I'm looking for. I couldn't fully use my Thoth deck until now.

Summary: An exhaustive study of the Thoth deck..
Review: As a tarot reader of twenty years (I made a color video called "Learning Tarot" and wrote about tarot for New Woman Magazine) and teacher of tarot at Santa Fe Community College for nearly seven years, I can vouch for this book's authenticity. Each card is meticulously reviewed, with excellent attention paid to the symbols. She pulls together the astrology and numerology as well...so important for the tarot novice to understand. This is, in fact, a favorite book among my students and clients.

Summary: I use this book as the textbook for my advanced Tarot class.
Review: Excellent source of information. The appendixes are useful tools for study and interpretation of complex spreads.

Summary: Too far from the deck author intension.
Review: Far from the golden dawn and the deck author intended meanings. As an example, the 9 of swords, ``cruelty'', displays yellow drops in the background of the card. Crowley intended them to be venom, and in this book are said to be ``tears of the spirit'' (!). This sort of thing abound. The author of this book should have read ``The book of Thoth'' at least. My opinion is that an author of a Tarot Book based on a certain deck should have researched *a bit* about the deck, not just jump in their own interpretations based on his own background. The interpretations for the images on the cards are not bad, they just doesn't match the ones from Crowley (who is the *author of the deck*).The numerology/astrology sections and comments are *very* simple-minded as well. As an example, the threes are interpreted as always giving a message about the followin three weeks or three months, and the aces are said to be a message ``for the next year''. The book includes an astrology symbol appendix. For me, not knowing them, this was by far the most usefull part of the book. Overall, this book is about one view of tarot, a very personal one. It's not a bad view but it doesn't rest on the occult tradition, and it contradicts that tradition many times. That could have been not that bad, if the author made that explicit in some part of the book, say the introduction.

Summary: This is an excellent book
Review: I first found this book at the library. It is the best tarot book I have found. I feel it is the best because it teaches you how to read tarot cards with positive interpretations. This book is the only tarot book you will ever need. This book also ties tarot with numberology. Excellent!

Summary: Excellant source for the Tarot.
Review: I found this book very informative about the Tarot and its symbolisms. I most liked the information about one's growth path through life coinciding with the spiritual path. Lets you plot your past, present and future and see why things have happened and what might happen. Wonderful to calculate for yourself and friends and family too.

Summary: Excellent advanced-level Tarot material
Review: I like this book because it takes both psychology and spirituality into consideration. I consider it to be material for the advanced Tarot user, not for a beginner. It does focus on the Thoth deck (Crowley), but I find that the energy of a card is the same from one deck to the next, even though the interpretation is different, so this information can be applied to other decks.Also, this book gives significant energy to the fact that a woman painted the illustrations of the Thoth deck, and gives her credit where it is due! Adds a whole new dimension to the Thoth deck for me.
