Summary: Tarot For Yourself by Mary K. Greer
Review: This is an awesome workbook and self teaching guide for any level of Tarot user. This was one of the text books for a Tarot class that I took 4 years ago. I have bought numerous copies for friends and as gifts since! I would not be the reader I am today without this wonderful insightful book. I expecially liked the fact that it was geared toward any deck, and no one deck in particular. There are guided meditaions, pages to track the card of the day, and examples of many different spreads.With each card there is an explanation of the meaning of the card, and specific questions to ask yourself, as well as affirmations for each card. A great beginners book! A MUST HAVE for anyone interested in Tarot!

Summary: This is the only tarot book I use.
Review: When I first discovered this book in the 1980s, I was amazed at how fast and how much I learned in a short period of time! It is fun, and very easy to understand. Not to say it isn't great for experienced tarot readers. On the contrary! It goes as deep as you allow yourself to go. I love the new ways to study and play with the tarot. It was so much easier to open the doors after using this book. Until I got "Tarot For Yourself", most if not all, the other books I had previously bought seemed boring and very dry, or too cynical. She also goes into other authors' interpretations.and that allowed me to be much more open and relaxed about reading tarot for myself, and other people. Until I got this book, not many people believed that it was okay to read cards for yourself! (That was in the 1980s, remember)--- I got rid of all my other tarot books after I found this one! Of course, I also read her others (2 at that time) which take tarot even further and deeper. I love this book! It's the only one I need to use, even after 20 + years of looking at newer and older books. Just one ingredient in this book makes it more informative than the other books on the subject, and that is the fact that IT IS FUN with Mary K. Greer. She opened the door to allowing oneself to enjoy and play with the cards. Whatever deck a person owns, or how many decks, you can use this book, because she also encourages and enables you to use your own interpretations, and that there is no "right interpretation". Symbolism and intuition, which the tarot is based on, are stressed here. No superior, esoteric puzzles to try and figure out. My recommndation: Buy this book, and PLAY with your cards. Most of all, have fun doing it!
