The Tarot Book

All you need to know from first thinking about learning the Tarot through to doing a reading.

People are faced with a lot of uncertainty or doubts as they get to know the Tarot. So they have questions about whether they should use reversed cards, and do you re-sort the deck in some way after a reading? Or they may think that it’s not right to buy your own deck, but they’re tired of waiting for someone to give them a gift set.

We can have lots of doubts or wonder if we’re doing the right thing or using the right approach, and so on. It therefore makes sense, I think, to put all the answers in the same place.

This means that you can get an idea or read an opinion about what to do in different circumstances. You may agree or disagree, but it doesn’t matter which side you choose because what is important is that you have something to go on and to develop in a way that makes sense to you and that you are comfortable with. This is better than having nothing, or trying to ignore the anxiety because you don’t feel equal to dealing with it.

We cover a lot of ground in the material presented here and it has been organized into a kind of chronological order, so we begin with ideas about what the Tarot is and how it works, and at the end we look at three different but useful spreads and how to read them.
