I received this digital copy from Quarto Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an unbiased review.

This book is the perfect companion to those interested in learning how to read tarot cards. I personally have no knowledge about tarot cards and found the book interesting. It was well organized with lovely illustrations of each card. It explained the meaning of each card as it might relate to a person. It is very thorough going over every card. Since I have no experience with tarot reading it intrigues me to want to learn more about it.

Clearly, this book isn’t for everyone. It’s a great start for those spiritually inclined and wanting to learn without having to “dive in”.

Great guide to further understand the tarot card meanings, both upright and upside down! I loved the illustrations and found all of the information included to be helpful and easy to use. Definitely would recommend! The cards used for the explanations are following the Rider Waite tarot.

Nice detail for anyone who is interested or even already schooled in tarot reading. More detailed than any books I have read on the subject! Easy to use yet very comprehensive. "Key meanings" assist in gaining quick access to information!!!


RECOMMEND!


Many thanks to both the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to view this book!

Great reference book to teach what the Tarot cards mean. What does it mean if it's reversed, what of the death card? So many great tips and knowledge from this book. Perfect for learning or teaching Tarot. One thing the author said about using your intuition to read the cards, was so right I'm happy to see that. I think this book would be a great addition to the library of anyone who is interested. I personally love this book and was honored to be able to read it

A great resource book for beginners or people who want to refine/refresh their knowledge. Liz Dean not only explains general card meanings, but gives examples and insights for what the cards may signify in different scenarios, readings, and people.

This was a beautifully illustrated, accessibly laid out, and concise guide to reading tarot cards. The introduction covered basic card layouts as well as particulars on how to cleanse your cards of energy, acclimatise them to your being etc. The largest focus of the book was dominated by an overview of both the major and minor arcana, each accompanied by full-page artwork, illustrating the card in question. As a tarot novice, I found this to be a thoroughly helpful guide that gave an adequate overview for me to begin my practise.
