I used it for notes， I think it’s good and the order is helpful。 Some of the meanings didn’t suit well with the deck I was using but the book as able to still give meanings of each card accurately。 I do recommend it mainly to the rare occasion like mines of having a tarot deck with no guide but still needing to confirm and check what the cards mean。

This is really good for breaking down all the tarot cards and their meanings。

Great first Tarot book for getting to know the cards。 But， it seems heavily Wicca influenced rather than broadly relating the Tarot to witchcraft。

Probably one of the best books I have found to give you a feel for what the Tarot has to offer。 Alexander is a wonderful instructor and the books is clear and concise without making you think that the Tarot will be the end all - be all to your future happiness。

More like a 4。5Very good for beginner tarot readers。 I would recommend this for anyone interested in divination， even if they are not interested in Wicca or witchcraftI think my only complaint is that it does focus on Wiccan beliefs （I believe the author is Wiccan so understandable） and she plugs her other books about 3-4 times in the text

An amazing read that brought me closer to my Wiccan and Tarot path！ This book featured everything form the meaning of every single card in the major and minor Arcana， to easy and effective guides for spellwork。 Until now， I never worked with a book like this， but I'm glad I managed to finally do so。 This volume was more of a guide with wich you， as a practicing witch or tarot reader in general， could sit down and work with。 I really enjoyed this， because it felt like I was being teached while wo An amazing read that brought me closer to my Wiccan and Tarot path！ This book featured everything form the meaning of every single card in the major and minor Arcana， to easy and effective guides for spellwork。 Until now， I never worked with a book like this， but I'm glad I managed to finally do so。 This volume was more of a guide with wich you， as a practicing witch or tarot reader in general， could sit down and work with。 I really enjoyed this， because it felt like I was being teached while working with my cards。 Like I already stated， this book would be amazing for witches， Wiccans and overall tarot readers alike！ However， I had the feeling this book was easy to work with for me， because I already knew alot about the tarot。 For the true beginner， this book might be a little bit daunting。 Also， I really felt the need to read more about the author's personal thoughts and feelings about this subject， rather than just reading general information that is the same for everybody practicing the art of tarot reading。 But it could be that Skye Alexander incorperated her personal thoutghs and feelings in her other witchcraft books， wich I have not yet read， but am planning to do！ 。。。more

I like it alot。 I do wish that it included some more spells using Tarot。 The explanations of tarot are very very helpful for someone like me who is only using the cards for personal use and wanting to get more from what the cards mean。

Really nicely written book that I will surely keep close in the future。 Even though I don't use the Raider-Waite deck， this book taught me a lot。 Like many other things in this field， tarot is very intuitive and subjective and I like to get information from different sources， but this book has become a very good base for me。 I believe it can be quite useful even for non-beginners。 The last part about spells that incorporate tarot cards wasn't really for me， as I don't think I would be able to br Really nicely written book that I will surely keep close in the future。 Even though I don't use the Raider-Waite deck， this book taught me a lot。 Like many other things in this field， tarot is very intuitive and subjective and I like to get information from different sources， but this book has become a very good base for me。 I believe it can be quite useful even for non-beginners。 The last part about spells that incorporate tarot cards wasn't really for me， as I don't think I would be able to bring myself to getting a tarot deck just for spells and destroying some of the cards， but it was interesting to glimpse through nevertheless。I was hoping that the book would go a bit more into the symbolism of each card and go into greater detail in general。 I have the same problem as I had in the case of The Modern Guide to Witchcraft and that's that the author doesn't offer any further sources of information。 Maybe I'm just too spoiled by academic works， but in a field like this， I would like some tips and pointers。 。。。more

This is a bit superficial and very basic book about Tarot。 The best part was the Tarot spells and different spreads in the end if the book。 However， unless you are new to Tarot this book doesn't really give you much。 Much of the book is about the meanings of the cards but not very profound and insightful for someone who has used Tarot for a while already。 This is a bit superficial and very basic book about Tarot。 The best part was the Tarot spells and different spreads in the end if the book。 However， unless you are new to Tarot this book doesn't really give you much。 Much of the book is about the meanings of the cards but not very profound and insightful for someone who has used Tarot for a while already。 。。。more

Very informative， especially for someone just starting out in tarot， as well as magi I and witchcraft。 It gave me many ideas as well as cool ways to do readings and spells。 Will definitely be checking out her other books！

So very cishetnormative， so very binaristic （is that a word？ it is now）。 We're not all binary cishets。Some card meanings introduced made my eyebrows shoot high up on my （admittedly high） forehead， but that's not necessarily a bad thing。 We all interpret things differently。 Some meanings shed light to cards that I had had difficulties with。 So very cishetnormative， so very binaristic （is that a word？ it is now）。 We're not all binary cishets。Some card meanings introduced made my eyebrows shoot high up on my （admittedly high） forehead， but that's not necessarily a bad thing。 We all interpret things differently。 Some meanings shed light to cards that I had had difficulties with。 。。。more

Edit 1/1/2021: I recently discovered most of the content of this book is seemingly a nearly direct copy of one of her other books "The Only Tarot Book You'll Ever Need"。 This comes across as super lazy， and I was really hoping that two books on the same general subject would at least be written differently enough that I might glean additional information。 I have decreased my rating of this book as a result of this discovery。 Luckily the book this one borrows heavily from was gifted to me so I di Edit 1/1/2021: I recently discovered most of the content of this book is seemingly a nearly direct copy of one of her other books "The Only Tarot Book You'll Ever Need"。 This comes across as super lazy， and I was really hoping that two books on the same general subject would at least be written differently enough that I might glean additional information。 I have decreased my rating of this book as a result of this discovery。 Luckily the book this one borrows heavily from was gifted to me so I didn't spend my money on two nearly identical books。 Original Review 10/2020: This book has a wealth of information that is highly accessible。 I definitely enjoyed going through it with my cards and reading the different descriptions carefully to work on solidifying associations。 However， I feel like the book sometimes falls super flat- whether not touching on super obvious imagery in some cards， randomly bringing up a ton about feng shui at the end， or the entire "spells" section， which frankly should have been omitted in my opinion， it's kind of a mixed bag overall。 To elaborate on the spells part， the intro section of each of the spell categories is mostly copied and pasted from the first one， and is constantly plugging the author's other books which just comes across as pretty tacky。 A fair number of them also call for destroying cards- it does say to use a deck you don't use for readings， but this is very wasteful both materially and financially。 I'd say I am definitely going to keep this around to consult as the information is concise， it's a well organized book， and I learned a lot from it， but I can't help but feel a bit deflated upon the end of my journey reading it for the first time。 It could have offered more and not veered so strangely at the end。 。。。more

Excellent reference book for tarot - yet heavy reliance on wicca （used wicca and witchcraft interchangeably） and mentioned closed practices without adding that they were， well， closed， hence the 3 stars only。

Höchstens für blutige Einsteiger geeignet， allerdings erfährt man in jedem Youtube Video mehr。 Außerdem ist das Buch furchtbar weichgespült。 Alles ist super und happy， negative Deutungen gibt es nicht oder kaum。 Dieses Alles-ist-Sonnenschein-New-Age Gerede ist nicht mein Fall。

a little preachy and really spends a lot of time for a short book plugging her other books。 Touched on cultural topics without going into enough detail or offering pronunciation assistance。 Would explain things but leave out important details like the why and the how。Probably best for people who have done their own research prior to studying。 I spent a lot of time searching terms and pronunciations through other sources to better understand references。

Very well organized introduction to the standard 78 Tarot deck; the illustrations follow that of the well known and used "Rider-Waite" deck。 This book encourages intuitive interpretation of the cards based on standard illustration as well as the intended use by Arthur Edward Waite。 I suggest using this book as a reference rather than a read from A to Z on tarot。 There is also nice sections on tarot spreads （common 3 card， celtic cross etc） as well as tarot usage in magick。 I recommend this to be Very well organized introduction to the standard 78 Tarot deck; the illustrations follow that of the well known and used "Rider-Waite" deck。 This book encourages intuitive interpretation of the cards based on standard illustration as well as the intended use by Arthur Edward Waite。 I suggest using this book as a reference rather than a read from A to Z on tarot。 There is also nice sections on tarot spreads （common 3 card， celtic cross etc） as well as tarot usage in magick。 I recommend this to beginner tarot interpreters like myself。 Disclaimer; Tarot reading is not inherently evil as common misconception; it is a mere collection of various imagery based on experiences/ dreams/ events that can help the user peer into the intuition。 As for its use in prediction of the future， that remains uncertain。 However， I believe that it is a great tool to communicate with the higher self， if not just for entertainment purposes 。。。more

This book relies far too heavily on outdated ideals and the wiccan mindset of appropriating and co-opting other cultures。 Not for me， though the things that Alexander quoted were interesting。

The descriptions are brilliant。 Really gives a lot of insight to each card。 My only issue， nothing to do with the content，。 Is the book design with the rough edged， uneven pages make it very hard to flick through the book

This is definitely a book to consider as a guide to beginning your Tarot journey！ Immersive but also simplified， you can learn the practice in a very easy， digestible manner。 Everything from the meanings of colors and numbers， the breakdown of the story of the Major Arcana， and even the meanings of reversed cards。

A beautifully written and practical guide to get a better understanding of Tarot。 Lots of symbolism explained， like the meaning of colours， numbers and of course the symbolism on each card。 It's based on the Rider Waite Smith deck but gives a solid basic knowledge to use any Tarot deck you like。 A beautifully written and practical guide to get a better understanding of Tarot。 Lots of symbolism explained， like the meaning of colours， numbers and of course the symbolism on each card。 It's based on the Rider Waite Smith deck but gives a solid basic knowledge to use any Tarot deck you like。 。。。more

I used this book as an “intermediate book” solely for memorizing the specific interpretations in the three categories （love/career/finance） but I wouldn’t recommend it as a standalone book。 I love Skye though！
