 Learning the Tarot: A Tarot Book for Beginners
ASIN: 1578630487
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Great Book for Beginners In Tarot!
Comments: If you're a beginner in tarot (like myself), than this IS the book for you. The author guides you through the book in lessons, and the best part is, you DON'T have to read each lesson. You can still have fun with your tarot deck without getting weighted down in, "tarot theory," If you forget something, you can easily look it up in this book. Joan Bunning gives GOOD and understandable meanings for each card, as well as "teaches" you how to do readings, and how to ask questions. She even has exercises, where you can practice your skills. She knows how to make tarot fun! Since I am still practicing doing readings, I use this book for referece A LOT! I am SO glad that I bought it. The only negative is that she does not review the meanings of cards being reversed. Also, she focuses on one deck, Rider-Waite, but you can use any deck with this book. It's a GREAT book and a MUST HAVE if you're a novice, and want to learn more about tarot.

 Sacred Path Cards: The Discovery of Self Through Native Teachings
ASIN: 0062507621
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: THE BOOK THAT CHANGED MY LIFE!
Comments: For anyone interested in Native American Spirituality and in learning how they can apply these Ancient Teachings in their own modern-day lives, this book is a MUST READ (and USE!) It is a tool that can help anyone who WANTS help. I believe the reviewer who commented that "no Indian he (or she) knows uses CARDS" - must be ignorant to the fact that this book was NOT written for those who were taught these teachings from birth, but rather was written for people like myself who are NEW to the Sacred Path and who don't KNOW how to get on it (and STAY on it!) I thank you, Jamie Sams, for sharing your Native Teachings with those of us who are IGNORANT about these teachings (like the reviewer said) and NEED and WANT to know! This book with the cards and the companion workbook have helped me to make tremendous changes in my life which I hope will make the world a better place for those whose paths will cross mine in the future!

 Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom: A Book of Tarot
ASIN: 0722535724
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Not for the Beginner, but...
Comments: This revised and slightly expanded version of two long sadly out-of-print books ("78 Degrees of Wisdom: Major Arcana" and "78 Degrees of Wisdom: Minor Arcana") is a welcome addition to any serious Tarot reader's library.
Although I wouldn't normally recommend this book for the Tarot beginner, I'd recommend it highly to serious students of Tarot wanting to know more about the many different meanings of Tarot cards. Some beginners might find Pollack's usages of the definitions of cards to be more than the superficial ones.
Going far beyond the "This one covers you" school, Pollack gives many different ways to interpret the meanings of Tarot cards, both from a spiritual viewpoint ("What does this card mean to you?") and a metaphysical viewpoint ("What does this card mean to the person you're reading for?"). It also allows for meditation and self-study of Tarot cards.
Although set up like a standard Tarot book, with chapters covering the Major Arcana, the Minor Arcana, and some readings, (including a sample reading or two) Pollack's definitions of the cards goes far beyond the ordinary superficial "Death means something in your life is going through a major change - you are about to stop one thing and start doing another." Each card has a picture - many from the Rider-Waite deck that most Tarot card readers start with, but some from other decks that you may not have seen. Each card has numerous definitions - and even some examples of what that card might mean when in certain placements in a Tarot card reading, both regular and reversed.
I've no other books in my Tarot library that are more heavily thumbed than my old copies of the two "78 Degrees" books, and I was very glad that Pollack has found a publisher willing to not only reprint them, but allow her to revise them and include both books in one volume. Highly recommended for serious students of Tarot.

 Easy Tarot Guide

Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: The most valuable resource on Tarot card reading
Comments: If you could own just one book on Tarot card reading this would be the one to have. It gives you a card by card analysis and incorporates all aspects of the cards in the interpertations of the cards. It is easy to use as a reference book. I have many books on Tarot card reading but this one is the most complete guide and makes the Tarot much easier to understand.

 Tarot Made Easy
ASIN: 0671670875
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: AWESOME BOOK!
Comments: This is a must have book for beginning and advance tarot students. This book explains each card on the basis of 32 categories such as romance, health, family, finances, friends, career, etc. This book can be easily used as a cheat sheet to give 99% of correct readings by any tarot student. This book can also explain how to answer when questions. Each card can tell when the event is gonna happen. It can be any of the four seasons, something after few months or something on a specific month. PLEASE DO NOT MEMORIZE THE 32 CATEGORIES OF THE BOOK. Just read the book and use it as your guide when you are reading someone. Also, use your own intutions. The books can only guide you, but you have to make a final decession on a specific thing. Don't waste your time in searching for the books. Buy this book and I guarantee you that you will be satisfied.
