Book Review: Tarot Made Simple




As someone who loves exploring the Tarot, I was really interested to see what this book had to offer. I wasn't disappointed. One of the first things that really grabbed me was the way that it's designed. As you can see from the picture below, the book is divided. The top half gives information on the Tarot, as well as different spreads of variying complexity. The bottom half gives you the meanings of the tradition Tarot cards, making it simple to interpret a reading-- no flipping around the book from the spread to the card meanings! 


I decided to try two different spreads. The first is for the "How Can I Become More Creative" spread, one of a couple specifically targeted toward writers and creatives.


The second is "The Past Lives Spread"


Another interesting aspect of the book is that it, while it gives by the main and reversed readings for each card, it speaks about how many readers don't read the reversals at all, preferring to keep all the cards rightside up. 

Overall, I think it's a handy resource for people new to the Tarot, as well as adding in some new, insightful spreads for those who have been reading a while. The book also gives directions on how to get even deeper into your question through adding in cards.
