This book is well-written, well-organized and easy to use. After taking a class in tarot card reading, I decided to start pulling three cards a day and writing out the interpretation to learn the cards. This book is an excellent tool for that. It has suggestions for several three-card spreads as well as larger ones. It has a good description of the meaning of each suit and for each card it provides a numerological and astrological meaning as well interpretations for a general reading, a reversed card reading, love/romance, career/money and personal/spiritual interpretations.

I’ve been interested in tarot for a few years. I was gifted a beautiful deck several years ago by a friend which did come with a card-sized guide book, but being so small there wasn’t much to go off of. I dabbled for a few weeks but often felt frustrated at the limited guidance offered by the little booklet.I recently backed a kickstarter for a gorgeous deck (The Lighted Window tarot deck). I very much love it but I had the same experience with the (even smaller!) tiny booklet with very brief information about the meanings of the cards.I was inspired anew to seek out resources to learn more about the meanings of the cards. I am SO grateful and relieved to have found this book. Wow.This book has *everything* I was looking for, and much more that I didn’t even know I wanted. A actual-size color illustration of each card (from the classic Rider Waite deck), keywords for both upright and reversed readings, an explanation of the artwork of each card, and a more detailed explanation of potential interpretations. There’s a brief sampling of some common spreads, including the famous Celtic Cross, which always felt inaccessible to me before finding this book. There’s also a section in the beginning that explains the meanings of the various elements of each card (court cards, numerology, the suits and the elements they represent, etc). It’s all fascinating and extremely illuminating.This book has increased both my understanding of tarot and my enjoyment of the entire process of reading the cards and learning more about their meanings.I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about tarot.

Thank you Stefanie Caponi for this extremely easy to understand, comprehensive, and practical guide book! It starts with introductions of all scopes, intro to the practice, uses, and even has an exercise where you can introduce yourself to your new deck before diving deeper practices and shows different spreads further into the book!What I love the most about this guide is the glossary aspect for the cards so you can find exactly which cards means what! There's even resource pages in the back with just the image and the exact title to find what page it's on (Side note, I uses the Rider Tarot Deck and its the exact one depicted in the book, I recommend this as someone's who starting out to other beginners who's just trying to get a feel of the different cards and meanings with a guide that uses the same depictions!)Another thing I adore about this guide is that it does not provide false hope AND it does not drag on. I, personally, really lean away from guides that have grand, lavish promises of immediately solving all your problems, see into the future, all these grandiose possibilities, with little to no information as to how it actually works. This guide however is true to its name and provides the needed information to understand readings without any long filler, as well as making it clear that this is for self intution, self guidance, and NOT a tool to predict the future, more like a tool to look within oneself to reflect and embrace the energy of possibilities while aligning your goals within the process.I am grateful towards this guidebook for aiding in my self discovery journey, as well as the author for providing a wonderful, in-depth guide. Happy card reading!

This a great book and a wonderful guide for beginners and pros alike. It gives a great detail about each card, the meanings based on the type of reading you are doing, and little key phrases to remember for each card. They match the Waite deck images perfectly so you can pair it all together to get that better understanding of what you are looking at and I feel like they really offer a lot more than those little guidebooks you get in the deck box. I am getting back into tarot after a many years long break, and this has been so helpful in getting back into remembering the cards, the spreads, and just little hints and tips/tricks. It's really a fantastic book for anyone who is doing readings.
