Summary: Are you an idiot?
Review: "Let a Lover of Truth make use of few authors, but of the best note an experienced truth; let him suspect things that are quickly understood, especially in Mystic Names and Secret Operations; for truth lies hid in obscurity; for Philosophers never write more deceitfully than when plainly, nor ever more truly than when obscurely." -Jean d'Espagnet

Summary: Your Psychic Sidekick
Review: Hey hey -- need someone to inspire you to live a prag-magical life? Arlene's the one for you. Reading this book is like having a "psychic sidekick" at your side to guide you. It's more that just a tarot book. It's soul-satisfying, yet honest and sincere in its desire to tell you the truth about your personal fortune, past, present and future. If you ever want to recommend a book to someone who thinks the paranormal is baloney, this is the book for you. If you want to show "pseudo-Christians" a book that proves not all believers in taking control of your personal fate are Satanists, this is the book for you.

Summary: Best Book on Tarot, I Love it.
Review: I have a few books on Tarot, and to be honest with you, this has to be my most favorite book on the subject. The meanings are easy enough for novice, and note worthy for the experienced Tarot reader. You will get excellent descriptions of each card, both major and minor. As well as excellent interpretations of the meanings for both upright and upside down cards. I found this book to be excellent, and whenever I need references, I turn to it, as I am never disappointed. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: A Do-It-Yourself Tarot Workbook
Review: I love the tarot. It is very complex and full of interpretation. Nothing worse than getting your first tarot deck and then having to buy a book written by some "tarot expert" so they can tell you the meanings of every card. Unfortunately Tarot doesnt work that way. What I love the most about this book is it teaches you how to interpret each card by allowing your innate intuitive abilities to come forth and to tell you what the cards mean. The book has you work through each card in the Major and Minor Arcana one by one and allows you to paint your own portrait of what is going on in the card and what it translates to in someone's lives. There is nothing "idiotic" about this book. If you have always wanted to "custom-make" your own tarot readings and meanings, this is the book for you.

Summary: A highly readable, practical, inspiring guide to tarot.
Review: I've read many books on tarot over the last 20 years, and this is my absolute favorite. The information is clear and thoughtful; the writing is warm, accessible and witty. Tarot can be intimidating, but Arlene and Lisa welcome the reader into a personal, individual connection with the cards and their messages. The emphasis is on the joys of discovery; on resilience, and on our ability to create a positive approach throughout life's changes. This book always leaves me feeling inspired -- exactly like a good reading!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very concise and straight to the point.
Review: The book is very well written and offers many tidbits for easier understanding. It does not goes too deep into the religious meanings and heavy symbology, it goes straight to the point. I also bought another book in this same topic and it was good too but it was heavy reading sometimes needing several reads in order to get the point. With this book all it takes is one read in order to understand the meaning of the cards.

I found this book very useful to crosscheck meanings with other books when I read for myself or to others. Sometimes the meanings this book gives me are easier to understand or make more sense than other books.

I would recommend it to anyone starting out in Tarot.

Summary: A great book
Review: This book is a good book, it goes into details on the cards and gives a few spreads, I recomend it.

Summary: Uncomplicated, insightful
Review: This book is the one and only book you need if you want to learn the tarot!!! The best part about the book is that it gives you lots of different exercises that really help you get to know your cards and develop your own personal interpretations...not just memorize some list of meanings. Although they do outline in detail the main topics adressed in each card, the authors continually help and encourage you to draw your own meanings from individual cards and entire spreads. I've been reading for several years now, and I ALWAYS carry and use this book when I know I'm doing a reading for someone. I've recommended it to many friends as well. Don't hesitate!!!
