Rachel Pollack’s Tarot Wisdom is a book that I was incredibly interested in reading as soon as I heard of its existence. One of Pollack’s earlier works, Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom, is a personal favorite of mine, and so I was excited to see this new work, but at the same time, I was afraid to read it.

Rachel Pollack's Tarot Wisdom is a very in depth look at the Tarot cards, their historical meanings throughout time and the differentiation of the decks. The amount of research that has gone into this book is really quite staggering. The information contained within will be likely to overwhelm the rookie but don't let that put you off. Best to be used as a resource, than to be read from front to back. A must own for any Tarot lovers.

This is a terrific book for those who want a more in-depth understanding of each card. The Minor and Major arcana are given detailed description and many possible meanings for interpretation. Take your time on each card and you'll understand your personal spreads (or for others) much better!

Relatively new to Tarot, I wanted something more informative than the not-so-helpful little booklets that come with most Tarot decks.

She has a knack for engaging the reader; she constantly prompts the reader to meditate on and interpret symbolism for th

A very interesting look at the numerology and kabbalah aspects of the tarot. An invaluable reference.

5/13/09 - Started reading this again in the past week. Now if only I can memorize the whole book...
8/28/09 - I decided to take this off my list for now. I'll probably use it as a reference book. It is a helpful book for comparing several tarot decks side-by-side and for thinking about systems of numerology.
1/29/12 - Picked this up again and am really getting into it. I find it to be my best reference book on tarot to date.
