As a professional tarot reader I'm always excited to get my hands on a new tarot book to see if someone has brought a new perspective., one that i have not considered before. Many times authors try to reinvent the wheel. Tarot at its core is a divination tool. This is another book attempting to get in touch with your belly button so to speak. Attempts of trying to connect on a deeper level, but misses the mark with the actually deeper meaning and all the symbolism. in each card and how it pertains to self.

The writing style didn't keep my attention and i found myself drifting off and forcing myself to refocus. A book of this nature should have your captive attention and excited to try these exercises. Instead it feels like writing for the sense of writing. I appreciate what the author is trying to attain. I found many of the interpretations misguiding and false. They are based on the authors thoughts, not the actual meanings, which for a novice can be confusing. Even some of the exercises for the cards aren't related to essence of them.

A great guide for beginners who want more from their tarot journey than the little white book. If you want to delve deeper into yourself with the cards and work on your other areas of magical path (like meditation and journeying) this is a great place to start! Highly recommend also for intermediates who need to go back to the basics or need a reset on their tarot habits.

Wow, I really loved reading this book! If you are looking to learn or strengthen your intuition when using the cards, this is a great book for you! Each card has exercises that will help you explore the card with your intuition & a fresh perspective. You also will learn how to view the imagery in a new light and will see the cards in a whole new light. While reading this book, not only will you enhance your intuition but you will see how the Tarot corresponds with your life and can help you through your own personal journey. I think that reading this book is a great modern approach to the Tarot & self exploration. It's not the typical guide and will take you on a great journey that will give you new perspective and learn it's okay to wander a bit from what's the typical path of learning the Tarot! Now, that sounds like a glowing review but let's get real for a moment, this book has a big whoopsie! The King of Pentacles is missing from the book! Oh snap! A star or two taken away, unfortunately. So even though, I enjoyed it so much you can't help but be dissapointed that were a King short of the hand that was dealt. I would still recommend this tome but hopefully it is revised so we can also explore the King of Pentacles, as well.

As a thank, you to Netgalley and the publisher ( Pen and Sword History) for an advanced readers copy of Leeza Robertson’s “ Pathworking the Tarot”. This book is multifaceted as it can be used by novice and experienced tarot card readers. This book is one that should be explored in a timely manner then read consecutively. It can be of course the richness in which Robertson creates should be savored slowly as she provides much to meditate on. In this book Robertson expands on the personal journey one has with the Tarot. This is done by exploring the themes each hard holds as well as exploring meaning found in the cards and provides information in which one may meditate on. This book can be used as an exploratory tool in spiritual work or by exploring the shadow self within us all. This book is insightful and one that I will look to concerning my relationship with the cards for time to come. I gave this book four out of five stars on Goodreads.

An absolute novice as far as the world of tarot cards (and reading them) are concerned, I found this book to be an absolute gem. Providing in-depth explanations of the cards potential narratives while guiding you to work on intuition to eek out meaning (I really appreciated the exercises), I will no doubt turn to this book over and over again to deepen my knowledge of this way of interpreting experience. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to familiarise and examine the tarot card pathway.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I have recently really began the journey of truly integrating tarot and divination into my practice. With this decision come so many avenues to understanding the cards. The advice given and the method described by Robertson was one that I had not heard a lot about and in many ways I found to be rather intuitive. I look forward to incorporating some of the suggestions into my practice.

This book was a fantastic guide to get started with the Tarot. I enjoyed the exercises the author guides us on and the insight into the cards.

Tarot has always been something that's attracted me. I've always wanted to learn more about it. I loved that this book let me do that. I loved the depth and the descriptions. I really enjoyed reading this and once i feel more comfortable with Tarot I hope to make it a part of my daily routine.

Thank you to NetGalley, Llewellyn Worldwide, Ltd, Llewellyn Publications for this free ARC of Pathworking The Tarot by Leeza Robertson. The review to follow is based on my own honest opinion.

I work with Tarot, I can honestly say I’ve never read a Tarot book. Having said that, I’m glad that this was my first! This book is so well organised, it’s also a book that would suit a beginner or experienced reader who may perhaps be looking for some more depth to their readings.
The exercises contained within are completely relevant and not there for the sake of including exercises. This is one ARC that I will most likely purchase a copy of.

“Pathworking the Tarot” by Leeza Robertson, is a fascinating way to read tarot. The author has put so much soul into guiding you, as a tarot reader, to better understand what the cards are revealing on an intuitive level.
For the tarot beginner this book is a source of valuable information as well as a great learning tool to get to know your cards better. This book explains all 78 cards in the Major and Minor Arcana, as well as walks the reader through pathworking exercises (intentional, intuitive and my favorite wandering) for each card. With this book your cards speak to you on a whole different level. I have spent almost two weeks now going through the pathworking lessons, and I am about halfway through my tarot deck, but I can honestly say I have a new perspective on reading tarot for myself and others. Blessings

This was exactly as described. A guide to pathworking the tarot. Useful tips for developing a deeper understanding of the tarot.

I would consider this book more for someone who is a little more advanced in tarot reading, or at least has a good basic understanding of the cards. The entire book explains the meanings of each card, and supplies meditation examples and intuitive exercises for each to help deepen the understanding of each card. It is the type of book you will want to use every day in your readings or to learn the cards one by one instead of one to sit down and just read through all at once.

Rating: 5/5

I cannot say how much I have enjoyed reading and referencing this book! Whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or professional reader, this book will undoubtedly have something for you. It goes so much deeper than other books I have read about the genre in that the author will have you focus specifically on each card so that you establish a relationship with it, as well as an understanding of it. You will be asked to meditate on, explore, and journal about your experiences with your tarot cards. I'll definitely be talking this book up to anyone interested in tarot or spirituality (and I will definitely be purchasing a physical copy of my own!)

I had a hard time reading this because of the formatting on my kindle. The images created odd pages and did not align well, this was okay because I was able to scroll past it. The more difficult thing was that words were misspelled and missing which made it hard to read and comprehend. Tarot is a trendy topic and I look forward to reading more on it. I did not stick with this because of the difficult flow.

A wonderful tarot book tip help you learn! I have always been drawn to tarot and decided this was a great book to start with. It's a wonderful resource.

A good book, useful to beginners and skilled pratictioners.
I liked how the book is organised and I found useful ideas and hints.
It could have been a 5* but I think that the references to previous books do not help.

Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

This was an interesting book. Each card gets an explanation about the card but then it explains three different ways to pathwork with the card.: meditation, journaling, and wandering. This part was very interesting for me and I really like the different options that was given. I will be buying this book once it comes out to use as a reference for future readings.

Love the idea of Pathworking the Tarot and the journey it involves. This book is fascinating to me, and I'll be spending quite some time exploring it further. I find it absolutely captivating. I think a paperback version will be easier for me to read and follow.
Thank you to Netgalley for the complimentary kindle copy, and I will be buying a paperback version for my own use.

I am not a tarot user/practitioner, but I am purchasing this for our public library collection, and I believe it will be popular. Robertson lays out interesting ways to use your tarot deck and read the cards for different purposes. I only wish it had some pictures of the cards to accompany the text.

This book is a great little starter for using Tarot! And, because it is so well written and packed with information and ways to use Tarot, it would also be the perfect book to read if you have been using Tarot or are experienced with the cards. I loved reading this and using it to improve my own Tarot practice.
