An interesting guide to the use and history of these particular cards and practice.

For someone that doesn't know a lot about it, probably even better, as it is certainly not too esoteric or mystical for your general person.

Also some bits and pieces of numerology and Kabalah later on the book, to look at some related subjects and uses.

Certainly worth a read if you want to find out something about this subject. ( )

Found this to be much like Eden Grey's other book 'Tarot Revealed', both are useful in building up a general knowledge of 'classical' tarot definitions, especially when using the 'Rider Waite Deck' featured.

However this can become limiting if taken too literally. I prefer to take these kinds of definitions with a pinch of salt, relying more on a mixture of intuition, synchronicity, and personal symbolism to guide my readings. A good introduction to this other non-dogmatic way of working with the Tarot, [along with other methods of divination] can be found in 'Positive Magic' by Marion Weinstein. ( )

This is one of several books I read back when I was learning to read tarot. I don't remember many of the specifics, but I do think of it as being a good book. ( )
