I had this book over twenty years ago before it disappeared with thousands of other items precious to me then. It has always been my favorite reference tarot book. This copy is pristine and was very inexpensive. THANK YOU!

The book has a lot of information, BUT the title is deceiving as I was less confused PRIOR to reading this book. I'm just going to stick with the knowledge I already have & my intuition. Which is funny that I say that because when I was purchasing this book, I was thinking ... I don't need this book as I've been reading by intuition for a few years. I guess I was interested to see how easy "readings by the book" would be. This may possibly be good book for a beginner, but I could see how they may feel overwhelmed 😔.

I've personally bought many copies of this book in the past.I suggest laminating the cover to this book, because if you use it frequently the binding will fall apart over time. Therefore, you will have to buy more copies of this same book. I am a practicing witch and Tarot is one of my specialties that my mother taught me using this book as a young witch. It is a very simplistic approach for people who want simple answers instead of long-drawn out complex ones. Some Tarot decks require a metaphor to be applied to understanding the meaning of the card. Not this book. It is very cut, dry and direct to the point in answers. For those who are impatient the answers may seem very vague in some instances. These are usually people expecting an immediate and definite "Yes" or "No". answer. This is not going to provide that. While reading this book, you have to rely on a mixture of intuitive feeling and carefully re-reading the definition of that card in that particular context while thinking about the question at hand. Please keep in mind that Tarot is just an interpretation of how the future may turn out. It is not written in stone. The future is always constantly changing. Tarot only provides a thumbnail view of what the future may look like and you have to allow life to fill in for the rest. For those individuals who get terribly traumatized by Tarot readers or led to believe something larger than life is going to happen, I do apologize that you may have experienced that. There are no guarantees in life and above all, Change is inevitable. It is neither positive or negative until it finally occurs. Only the individual involved in that sort of change determines whether it is good or bad, but reality is that change often leads us down a path whatever higher superior spiritual being wishes us to walk. Just as Newton's law, "For every action, there is an equal or opposite reaction". This too also applies to spirituality in more ways than one in all religious aspects.Read full review
I purchased this book 20 years ago with a deck of Rider-Waite tarot cards. The two haven't left my side since. Though I have several other books and tarot decks, this is always my 'go to' book for myself as well as reading for others. It covers numerical meanings, astrological meanings, seasons of the year, plus too much to cover in a small review. There are several different tarot spreads as well. My favorite spread for myself as well as anyone I have read for is the category spread. It covers 32 categories such as focus of reading, desire, romance, finances, emotions, work/career etc. The reason I purchased this book again on eBay is because I wore out my original copy. It was falling apart. If you give this book and a tarot deck about 15 minutes a day, you will start to see the cards working in your own life as well as others you come into frequent contact with (family, friends, co-workers). I believe this book is well worth the cover price. I would be surprised if you were disappointed.Read full review
A friend who has been doing Tarot readings for years recommended this as the BEST book available--- I think she's on her 3rd copy lol. I was glad to get a copy for myself!
