I suspect that the Back in Time Method is not that new. Probably most students of the Tarot, when they're in their first burst of enthusiasm, find themselves thinking things like, "Wow, she is just like the Queen of Cups!" or "I came out of that meeting feeling like the Nine of Wands." What Boyer has done is organize these sorts of random thoughts and give them a name.

A great new method for experiencing the cards and adding to your understanding based on that experience. Once she explains the process, we are treated with a number of readings written by Tarot luminaries, enlightening us with their choices and interpretations.

A fun thing to try and a great way to learn a new deck.

Janet had a fabulous idea for learning the Tarot without having to learn Astrology first! For myself, I have to admit that Astrology was my method of learning the cards. What I liked about this book is having so many excellent examples from the professional Tarot community! Thank you Janet, will be sharing this book!
