The 2-Hour Tarot Tutor: The Fast, Revolutionary Method For Learning to Read Tarot Cards in Two Hours...Without Memorizing Meanings!

Summary: An excellent first book on tarot...
Review: I bought this book knowing just a little about tarot and the meanings, but very interested in a more intuitive approach to reading. The book uses the Rider-Waite deck and even requests that the reader do so as well (just to make it easier to follow along, but not required). Rather than relying on stock meanings and trying to tie them into the other cards, Carroll asks you to just go with your intuition (which makes sense if you believe that the tarot is a window into the subconscious)and "say what you see". Although one may want to eventually learn the actual meanings, this is an excellent way to get the ball rolling and start reading in two hours.

Summary: I learned to read tarot with this book
Review: It was a very good choice. I had no knowledge at all on how to read cards, just the interest.

So this was my first book on this topic and it worked for me.
It took me more than two hours, because you have to learn the meanings and practice, but I found it very useful.
