Drawing on nearly forty years of tarot experience, Mary K. Greer has developed a new energizing approach-made up of twenty-one stimulating techniques to interpret or deepen your understanding of each card. Just as the twenty-six letters of the alphabet can be combined to form billions of words, Greer's twenty-one methods can be used in any combination for gaining amazing new insights and perspectives. Emphasizing both traditional and personal methods of interpretation, Greer's techniques involve storytelling, sketching, symbols, metaphors, dialogues, acting, and other imaginative exercises. Designed to bring about interaction, transformation, and empowerment, this twenty-one-pronged approach to tarot can help readers expand standard interpretations and evolve new ways of connecting to the cards.

It's easy to see why after ten years this book is still one of the most go to books in the tarot community. It's easy and open manner makes it an easy read. The exercises and journal work gives the reader tools to see tarot cards in different ways. Allowing them to tap into the entire potential of each card. It is also highly personal as it brings forth a great deal of yourself with each exercise that you complete. While it starts out light, if you're using this book properly it's going to go a great deal deeper than you expected or wanted it too. Awesome book for both beginners and advanced readers. (

This is an unusual book on how to read tarot cards. Instead of looking at layouts and meanings for the cards, one card is to be chosen by the reader, and then 21 different ways of looking at the card are to be done. Once one card is complete, the reader is supposed to do this for all 78 cards. I attempted to do this and found it way too redundant to be useful to me, as I just play with the deck. Perhaps someone who is a professional would dearly love this book and the lessons within. (
