The New Complete Book of Tarot

by Juliet Sharman-Burke

For over twenty years, The Complete Book of Tarot has been one of the most popular and most used guides for the art of reading and understanding the tarot. Now, for the first time, Juliet Sharman-Burke has revised and expanded the original text, and the book has been reillustrated throughout with the Sharman-Caselli tarot. The resultant book, The New Complete Book of Tarot, will guide a new generation through the cards to a working knowledge of the history, the meaning, and the use of the tarot.
Written by trained therapist and expert tarot teacher Juliet Sharman-Burke, The New Complete Book of Tarot takes the reader through the cards, uncovering clues to the historical, mystical, and psychological spirit of this ancient system of revealing past, present and future. Whether the reader wants to interpret the cards for others or use them to gain a deeper understanding of their own self, they will find The New Complete Book of Tarot both instructive and inspiring.

It took me ages to actually get around to finishing this. I think because for me it was more of a reference book, and I was actively trying to learn from it so I couldn’t breeze through. But the greek myth stories were interesting and helped me so much in understanding the tarot cards as a journey.

I read this book when I was 14 and started using tarot. It was a great introduction to the deck, its themes and concepts, and the feeling behind each card. I recommend it for beginners and those developing their sense of connection to tarot.

Great reference for Tarot readers both new and seasoned. The deck used in this book doesn't wholly reflect that of the Rider-Waite, but don't let that deter you from the deep messages, symbolism, and Greek mythology present within these passages.

Highly recommended read.

J'ai lu la version traduite en français. C'est LE livre qui m'a appris le voyage du Mat et les arcanes mineures, en 2008. Les explications de chaque lame sont simples et connectées à la mythologie, ce qui en facilite l'apprentissage.

C'est LE livre que je recommande à tout néophyte qui veut apprendre le tarot.
