Tarot Cards: A Beginners Guide of Tarot Cards: The Psychic Tarot Manual (New Age and Divination, Book 2)

I found this book to be incredibly helpful. I became interested in tarot because several of my friends read cars and have read my cards a few times in the last few months and I found myself intrigued and interested in learning more. This book was not only a wealth of information, but I found that it aligned well with the way I view tarot, something helpful but does not get rid of your own will. I liked that this book started with a history, a way of learning about the practice before trying to practice it yourself. The book is well written and easy to understand as it is written in a fairly casual tone, which I find to be accessible. I also really liked that this book used colorful and clear photos of tarot cards and related images to help illustrate points and make the book easy to follow, as I find large blocks of texts to be daunting in informational books. Unlike some quick types I have found on the internet, I found this book explained the process of reading to be very helpful and clear, great for beginners or reminders. I would definitely recommend this book to those interested in getting started.

Everything I knew about Tarot cards was completely wrong. That is the first thing that I noticed when I started reading this introduction into the art of Tarot card reading. I always thought that Tarot card reading was just some goofy way of “telling the future.” Something that you do for others and that you can get paid to do. In actuality, it is a much more spiritually enlightening experience. From what the book discusses, Tarot cards are meant to enable one to be more aware and to see possibilities when normally it would be difficult. These ideas are fascinating especially for someone who practices eastern faiths like the Dao and Buddhism. Reading the book, it is obvious the author has a true passion for the subject and even discusses the sacred nature of just picking which tarot cards to buy. Even intricate details like a list of websites to buy decks and a simple way to shuffle your deck are all in here. Of course, then it gets into the nitty gritty and discusses the meanings behind the cards and their shadow halves as well. This book taught me a lot and now I really want to try it. I probably won't do readings for others but I would like to see what paths of possibilities are out there for myself.

I have been reading tarot cards since high school, earning my lunch money doing readings a couple of times a week. It’s not new to me, but I am always on the look out for a new book to recommend to beginners that ask from time to time. Since Kindle, it’s easier than ever to learn about the cards on, without broadcasting to the world what you’re reading.This book includes lovely color pictures, which are easy to enlarge on the kindle, and a vast improvement over that little tiny booklet that comes with most decks. With the ground covered on the history and background of the tarot, and the more in-depth explanations of the Major and Minor Arcanas and the How To Do a Tarot Reading section, is well worth the price on this one, and the Table of Contents with Links make it easy to jump to a particular card and suit for reference.In addition to being a well-written guide for beginners, complete with sample readings for the the Three Card and Celtic Cross Spreads, the portability factor inherent to a Kindle book makes this well worth the price, and I highly recommend it. Happy readings!

I have never been into tarot cards and knew nothing about them. However, I just met a Woman who does tarot card readings a couple months ago. Which, got me more interested in learning about them. The book, Tarot Cards: A Beginners Guide by Julia Steyson is a great resource if you want to learn about tarot cards and how to read them as well. The book explains the purpose of tarot cards and the meaning behind each specific card. Each card that is explained has a picture of that card as well, so you can recognize them when you see them. The book also explains in detail, how to do a tarot reading. Steyson’s book provides background information on tarot cards and explains everything so that the reader can easily understand and learn about them successfully. I really enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone else who wants to learn about tarot cards.

I got this book on Wends and today it’s sat & im basically done with it . I have purchased tarot decks with books and I have so many I’ve read and purchased other tarot books but by all means this book has been the only book to break all meaning to the cards in such easy way I think I’ve learned more in these 3 days about tarot than I have in a year. This author is amazing , I love love this book so much and I’ll be reading it serveral times because the way she explained every card was great & easy to remember idk but if u are into tarot and want to truly know each meaning in a way it makes sense in the actual world this is the book for u , Thank me later .

Tarot Cards: A Beginners Guide by Julia Steyson is a great resource if you’ve ever wanted to know how to read tarot cards. She begins by explaining the purpose of tarot cards and how to properly take care of them. Then goes into the meaning behind the specific cards, complete with pictures, so you can recognize them in your own deck. Finally Steyson explains how to do a tarot reading. What I liked best about this book is the fact that she writes in clear, concise sentences that are easy to understand. Since this is my first time looking into the art of tarot reading, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I had no prior knowledge. Steyson’s book provides both the background and the explanation I needed.

This book is a great book for beginners. I went into it knowing nothing about tarot cards, and I feel like I learned a lot. I didn't realize that there's truly a story behind each one. I especially found the Fool's journey to be interesting. I had no idea how reverse cards worked, I didn't even know they were a thing, but I found it very interesting to know that some people see them as negative. I didn't see them as negative at all. Overall very interesting. I may have to look more into this whole tarot card thing.

Brilliant easy to read book which explains all aspects if tarot reading for beginners. I bought a couple of books as I wanted to read tarot cards but this one was the one I understood and enjoyed the most. I would definitely recommend this book for newbies.

try easy to follow guide, ideal for beginners. Would have given a higher rating for content, but the quality of the paper & printing is poor for a paperback book costing almost £20.

I havent read it all yet but as a beginner i can tell you i understand everything and i find it very interesting
