Our Thoughts

I've had tarot readings done and have participated in readings with friends but I don't know a whole lot about Tarot itself.   The Complete Book of Tarot Spreads is a great beginner's guide; the first two chapters (Chapter 1: Guide & Introduction, Chapter 2: Basics) contained a lot of information that explained a few things to this reviewer! It was nice to have a bit of a glossary, too as there were quite a few terms I'd heard, but was not familiar with.

One thing I'd recommend is having a tarot deck on hand while reading this book to play around/get comfortable with.  I have seen and handled many decks, but don't currently have one in my possession.  After reading this book, I'd feel comfortable reading for myself, but nowhere near ready to read for others without a lot (and I mean A LOT) of practice first. There are 122 layouts outlined, so there's plenty to practice with!

Well written; instructive book on Tarot.
