A very theoretical and interesting book. I suggest this book to intermediate and advanced Tarot readers. This is one of the more detailed books that cover everything from history to modern day techniques.

Tarot Inspired Life was a surprisingly informative book. It's a great for beginners, just learning the tarot, or anyone who is interested in integrating the tarot into their daily routine. The author walks you through analyzing the deck and deciding what the cards mean to you, personally. There are a few exercises, so I'd suggest a journal for taking notes. (That's what I did, and it was super helpful) Once you're comfortable with the cards and how they relate to you, the author shows us how to use tarot for meditation, writing inspiration, and so much more. This book is fantastic for anyone interested in the tarot, I'll definitely be picking it up when it comes out in January!

I have always been interested in the Tarot and beauty of the cards. There are many decks that are just magical. I was so happy to see this book really delve into the history of the Tarot. The author also goes into the cards in a better way than I have seen in previous books. There is a chapter on Tarot Language that tells about the colors, symbols and more. Also on the types of readings. Then the book goes into the spreads, some of which I have seen and others that are new to me. It then goes into Daily Writing Practices, and Inspiring the Muse which goes into personalization creating a stand and more. Next is Getting Spiritual, Invocations for Transformations, Rituals for Transformation, and Putting it all together. I have to say this is probably one of the most detailed and instructive books on Tarot I have read.
I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

4/5

Such a solid book useful for anyone who wants to learn tarot, especially those who want to implement tarot in their daily lives. Complete with how-tos, explanation, meanings, incantations, and exercises on every chapter, this book will deepen your knowledge about tarot cards. I feel like this book is the compilation of every tarot books I've ever read.

I suggest in keeping a little journal to record your experience with the exercises.

This is probably the best Tarot book I've read. It's informative and gave me some ideas I haven't thought of, like interpreting the colors of the cards. It's also a workbook with several exercises each chapter. Of course, it goes into each card but it also addresses them as a whole.

Tarot for Writer's is a great book on the subject of writing but Elford's ideas are excellent. I was so happy to see how much attention she paid to writers. It was probably the best chapter of this book and of all the Tarot books I've read.

I'll be buying this book in physical format, and I don't often do that.
