Best Tarot Practices: Everything You Need to Know to Learn the Tarot

by Marcia Masino, Rachel Pollack (Foreword)

Best Tarot Practices is a comprehensive approach to teaching everything you need to know to read the cards for personal insight and spiritual growth, for yourself and others. Using a method that blends modern questions and answers with innovative exercises and encourages intuition, Masino empowers the reader to find their own private connection with each of the cards, fostering a lasting and deeply personal relationship with the characters and symbols within the deck. Unlike many other beginning tarot books, Best Tarot Practices focuses not just on how to read the cards, but also on how to become a successful tarot reader--including how to handle difficult questions and messages in a reading, how to deal with needy, greedy, or superstitious seekers, and how to make each reading accurate and personal for the seeker. Best Tarot Practices offers a step-by-step approach to understanding the tarot, from the four suits and the court cards to the Major Arcana to learning new spreads that offer guidance in becoming your own tarot master. Best Tarot Practices teaches readers how to trust what they already know and how to share that knowledge by reading the cards for others.

I am not even done yet but I can tell you I just LOVE how she addresses problem clients, describing with accuracy nearly every type of problem, and how to handle it. Not many tarot books go into these professional "occupational hazards" this well, and while I have a few of my own techniques, this book is worthy for this information alone! I can hardly wait to see what else is in here :-)

this is one of those books while it gives you a different spin on how to learn tarot, different ways to view certain cards, it still doesn't quite make it to "best". pros: really good at giving basic information to help rememorize the cards (as it's a lot), great break down of the Majors that questions, meditations, etc to help you understand each card. cons: it offers 3 "new spreads" two of which you need to separate the deck into different piles instead of using the entire deck (a major pet peeve of mine). the Minors are barely covered and generally only in the aspect of Helpful/Challenging cards. which sometimes the 3 of Swords isn't a Challenging. occasionally the 2 of Cups is really not all that helpful.

Really excellent she covers things that many books ... simply don't.

[Kristina · Rating 3 out of 5]

A great primer but over half the book is useless if you don't use a Rider Waite deck, which I do not.

[Cherie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is good if you want to really learn and absorb and understand the cards, esp if you plan on doing readings (which I don't).
