Tarot for Beginners: A Guide to Psychic Tarot Reading, Real Tarot Card Meanings, and Simple Tarot Spreads (The Divination Series: Tarot, Runes and More)

This is a great book for beginners.My daughter is wanting to learn the tarot and bought herself a beginners package of cards and small instruction book,although the cards were beautiful and the book was helpful, it was very basic with just a few lines about each card.I purchased this book for my daughter and am pleased with information within.There is brief history of tarot and then a page to each card with a little more detailed descriptions of meanings.There are also instructions on doing reading a ‘three card spread’ and a ‘Celtic cross spread’ .I found it an interesting read as a more experienced reader and a great asset to beginner.At the end of book there are suggestions for further reading.This is a lovely book covering history,meanings and basic readings.At less than £5 it’s a real bargain and I’m sure will become a well read little book. Recommended.

This wonderful book explains all you wanted to know about Tarot (and lots of great stuff you didn't know you didn't know). Lisa Chamberlain writes clearly and succinctly, in a relaxed way, without oversimplifying, yet with a style that is easy to follow. The book covers all the background stuff (history of the cards, how their modern use came about, people who played a big part, etc) and then gives a whole ton of insight into the deck, the suits and the meaning of the numbers. She also gives guidance on how to conduct a reading, and finishes the book with the meanings of each card. Reading this book has inspired and excited me; I feel that I really understand at last.

I got the kindle and I think this is a good introduction to learning about Tarot and the card meanings. Works great on my IPAD and phone and easy to navigate via the menu. Well worth the money as an introduction before I buy a deck of cards.

I wanted to do Tarot cards, but was worried about which book to use. I bought this based on the recommendations of others on Amazon, and it's fab for me. If you're new to Tarot reading, it's easy to navigate around, gives enough information, but not too much. Doesn't waffle or use language you don't understand. I'm loving it

Highly recommend for beginner tarot readers or people wanting to learn about tarot in general. Lisa goes into the history of tarot, as well as explanations on how to ask questions to the tarot for readings on yourself and others. She also explains easy spreads to help you on your journey. There is an explanation of each card in the deck with their reversed meanings also. A great resource.

Great book for anyone interested in tarot reading. Some good advice regarding intuition,too. I really enjoyed reading it. Very useful.

Great little book for beginners, it helped me get started in the wonderful world of tarot. However, in my copy there seems to be a misprint , both six of wands and six of pentacles reads exactly the same , which is a shame.

Really good little book for beginners easy to read and understand and good value for a starter book

I read this book and learned a lot. It's a great guide to have when wanting to learn about tarot.

I loved this book on Tarot which is written for beginners. Very well written. This book is easy to understand relates to the cards. I have learned so much which I can apply. I feel I have a better understanding of Tarot cards.

Goed voor beginners en mensen die al langer tarot lezen

Year's ago I had my first experiences with Tarot, didn't think much about it then and moved on to other things. Since then I have been married, divorced, lived six-years on both mainland Italy and Sicily; six-years in Japan (Yokosuka, Tokyo, Atsugi); a year in the middle of nowhere (Diego Garcia); As well as throughout the US (including Hawai'i). Periodically I've met and seen people, friends, and lovers using, and/or playing around with various astrologies, Tarot decks, and other such tools all over the world. I've known some who follow the guidance almost to the point of a religion, and those who just bring out their tools at parties and special events (weddings, births, etc.) Always, the explanations were basically the same, these aren't really telling or predicting the future or making and magical suggestions to follow, but rather as a resource, to help individuals to focus their own thoughts, to better help them to consider options and alternatives which the cards might be displaying. Always done with the full knowledge that these are only choices, not actual decisions. Upon reading this book, I began to better understand the history and better relate the psychology involved with the usage of these tools for entertainment and in many cultures as a form of guidance toward making personal decisions. This book, does a very fine job of presenting the very basics ot the Tarot cards. Providing a basic brief history of their origins and usage, and explaing the symbolism of each card enabling a basic foundation for future usage and entertainment. This is a clear and understandable starting point, and if you want to learn more, to become more proficient with your own deck, this is the book to read. Have fun and always be open to learning new things...

The book is chock full of information, presented well and in easy to understand language. The phyiscal book is attractive. I 'm glad I bought this book.
