'Simply Tarot' adapts the tarot to fit today's word. It covers astrological links, timing by the cards, problem readings and some advice to aspiring professionals.
Horrible. Death, illness, bad news, rumors, car accidents, divorce, miscarriage, cheating spouse, .... did I mention death? The cards are NOT to be taken literal. Please use discernment when traversing these pages. It was quite shocking to read. My intuition was on fire and sadly some can be effected by these devilish interpretations. Projecting darkness is NOT the intention of Tarot. Enough said.
Don’t know how to rate this book so I gave it the middle ground three stars. My mom gave me this as a young teen and I use it when doing daily readings and research. However this is the only tarot book I’ve owned and not sure how good it is, especially with the 1 star reviews simply making a lot of sense. It definitely has holes in it but helps especially with major cards.
It is easy to read and I'm always up for another way to look at my cards, but I am not completely in agreement with all the interpretations. However, it was interesting and I like to read other ideas, because I feel it keeps my Tarot education fresh. I think it would be a book more suited to someone with some experience already, so that you can read it with an open mind and not as a Tarot bible.
This book is great for a beginning of Tarot who is trying to get the general idea of the cards. It doesn't go into too much detail, which allows the ready to absorb only the major points of Tarot. Just enough to have a decent background and understanding of the cards if they chose to pursue the interest further.
I got this book at the local library. The early chapters are informative and leads you to think its a good book. But then you get to the last chapter on spreads and its a disappointment. The spreads are illustrated fine, but not explained in detail as they should be. Skip this book, there are better ones out there.
It's basic enough, but just way too biased. When someone tells me to disregard everything I've ever learned about something, I'm up for that. But when they tell me that their way is THE RIGHT WAY and to look no further, yeah, that isn't my cup of tea.
This is probably the greatest book on Tarot that I have ever read. It has really helped me get in touch with what I am supposed to be getting out reading and having readings done.
