This is a great book for beginners who want to know the tarot's history and how to use the cards in more depth. Most cards come with a small book with the basic card meanings but this goes much further into it and how to use the tarot to apply to your own life. Would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to really learn the tarot!

As a beginner I found a lot of opposite meanings about the same card which was confusing . I understand your supposed to interpret your impression of the cards and tell your own story ... but if you wanted the intended meaning this book always has two opposing answers . Like I wrote as a beginner I found it to be frustrating . Maybe as I improve I will understand why it's written this way

Anyone who is interested in the Tarot can't go wrong with purchasing this book. It's easy to use and has exercises if your interested in doing some. The strength of this book is how it is setup. I love that each card has it's own page, and there is room on that page to add your own notes. The keywords are a great way to get yourself started. Joan Bunning takes an in depth look at the Celtic Cross (CC) and I find that helpful as well. Many people feel the CC shouldn't be in a beginner book, however it's the spread that most people have heard of so they want to know how to do one. This book gives you a great place to start. There are also a few really nice three card spreads. This is my 1st suggestions for someone interested in learning Tarot.
Bunning's book is one of the best out there for new Tarot enthusiasts. She gives clear information as well as steps on how to learn. Obviously she's been teaching this system for a number of years. I use ideas from this book for my own Tarot classes and workshops. This is a name you will find on every serious Tarot reader's bookshelf. It is safe to say that your collection isn't safe without Bunning's book. If I had to name the top three beginner Tarot books, I would put this one there without hesitation. Bunning has also written a reversals books that is good. If you want to learn Tarot from a book, learn from one of the best, Joan Bunning.
Wow Such a great read for beginners but seems just as informative for pros. I highly recommend this book if want to learn the ropes of reading tarot cards. I have always been interested in the art of reading cards but only recently have I pursued this. I bought a couple Tarot learning books for beginners but Learning the Tarot by Joan Bunning was the absolute easiest to understand & quickest way to learn. There is such detail on what you would need to know on how to interpret your cards & she helps with the card spreads and where tarot began and what things tarot may help give you incite to. There is just so many things and so much information in this book unlike others of its kind. You gain so much from this one book.
