i admit that there are a few places that it gets a touch dry while reading, but if you can only afford to get one book to help you learn and understand tarot this is the only book you need. excellent resource and information to help beginners or to get advanced readers to look beyond the typical.

This is the tarot book that I recommend above all others. Don't let the title fool you, it has meanings for both the upright and reversed positions of the cards. There is information on the mystical, practical, medical, etc. meanings of the cards. I keep this close to my computer for those online readings, just in case I get stuck or need a new perspective. Can't recommend it highly enough, it should be on every serious reader's shelf. ( )

A lot of Tarot readers have trouble with reversals. They're tricky, and you can do a reading without them... but I have found this book really really helpful.
The book is divided by Major Arcana, Minor Arcana, and Court Cards. For each card, a thorough upright and reversed meaning is provided, as well as archaic, magic and health meanings. A sample image of the Ryder-Waite card is also provided. In the back, a variety of intriguing alternate spreads (rather thnan the traditional Celtic Cross) are provided.
I find that if I have a reading that is unclear, I can refine some of the card interpretations using this book. Also, the problem-solving spread has been invaluable to me. ( )
