For anyone wanting to get into tarot or who has a interest in tarot this is a perfect read!

A perfect starting point for anyone who has interest in tarot, it’s accessible and an easy read filled with facts and secrets of the world of tarot!

This is a great book for beginners.
It was well written so that beginners could understand the history and how to read the cards.

I loved the illustrations in this too. I feel that they popped off the page.

This is a great introduction to tarot for teens. The book begins by explaining what tarot is and gives a brief history of its origins before going into more depth about how to do a tarot reading and details about the cards. I like how this book explains there are multiple tarot decks, even apparently queer tarot cards which I didn’t know about. The book focuses on one of the most popular and well-known decks, the Rider-Waite-Smith deck of cards which happens to be the cards I first used and now have two decks of.

The book goes into some good detail about the individual cards, each card is described and the meaning behind it is given, although it does explain how each card can be interpreted differently, which to me I liked as this is true. I found this guide to the cards surprisingly easier to understand and resonate with than some other tarot reading books I’ve come across in the past. After explaining all of the cards the book then gives three different spreads that someone can try, the one card spread, three card spread, and the 10 card celtic cross spread, all three of which I’m very familiar with. I like how this book explains also how to go about doing a tarot reading, both for yourself and a querent, and how this book explains that tarot should never be used to upset anyone, it should instead be used responsibly.

The pages are all so engaging with lots of fun images throughout the book, and of course the images of all the Rider-Waite-Smith cards in the middle with a description alongside each image. I do have to say that there are some naked illustrations on the real tarot deck, they aren’t offensive just small illustrations of the odd naked person, but this book has decided to cover up certain areas of the body on both the naked women and men who appear on cards like The Lovers and The Star. I didn’t mind this but just want to mention it as the real original deck doesn’t usually have these.

This book isn’t very long and I like how it helps teens get to know what tarot is and how to use it in a positive way. I like how the book explains clearly at the beginning that tarot is more about understanding your emotions and thoughts rather than fortune telling, and how to use the cards responsibly, understanding that tarot isn’t something scary or occultist but simply what they really are which is a set of cards that can help you understand how you feel and help you to make decisions. The book explains certain cards properly too, like the Death card which isn’t to be feared as it isn’t about real death but the end of things, events in one’s life.

As someone who is still new at it, but has tried using tarot cards with some success, I like how this book approaches the topic in a positive way. The book is written well and I would recommend it as a book for teens who want to understand what tarot is and how to do it. As I said it’s a book that’s written well, explaining how to use the cards properly and not in a way that anyone should fear. It clears up the misconception about the practice and I like how it gives tips on how to read tarot well and responsibly with someone or yourself. Overall I would recommend this book for those interested in the subject, it’s a great starter and can be something to get some teens interested if they want to.

This was a really clear and easy to follow guide to tarot. I’ve always been interested in tarot but only recently actively decided to look into it, so I was coming into this as a relative newbie. I found the layout easy to follow and I felt it covered a lot of things. There is also an overview of each individual card which I loved. I felt like I learnt a lot in a way that was succinct and easy to understand.

Also the illustrations and font were absolutely stunning and I definitely need a physical copy in my life *big heart eyes*

Loved the illustrations through this little book, enjoyed learning about the history and about the cards themselves, however some of the cards described aren’t always the ones on every tarot card deck, therefore it would have been nice to know which deck the description and cards were based on as I had to compare and work it out myself with my own cards. The readings shown are ok, very simple and are the ones usually included with any tarot card set bought, wish there had been more of them maybe some which were less basic and well known. Never the less good for beginners are those who are starting out with tarot cards.

This is a great book for beginners to tarot and divination.
It's very simple, straightforward and easy to understand but that is no way a negative. I sometimes think 'books for beginners' are more difficult to get right than more advanced books.
The illustrations are very stylish - mainly black and white with the odd pop of colour - very cool!

Great book to read in one go, or pop in and out as needed.
