This is a beautifully illustrated book that covers everything you need to know about learning the tarot. I particularly loved the very informative section on tarot journaling - I haven’t come across this in other tarot books I have read.

For each major arcana card we are given very a useful list of keywords for both upright and reversed positions, then a more in-depth look at each position. I also liked the little piece that told the story of each card through the lens of the Fool’s journey, something else I’ve not seen before. Each major card is printed as a full page in the book.

For the minor arcana each card is described but not shown; it would have been nice to have a visual reference. Again, there is an explanation of both upright and reversed meanings and it is very easy to read and understand. Some tarot books contain reams and reams about each card but this was short and succinct, yet very informative.

In addition to the cards themselves, the book also includes tarot spreads, and also tarot spells and rituals which I really enjoyed reading about and is yet something else I have not encountered in other tarot books. This is an incredibly good book, packed full of info and accompanied by gorgeous illustrations. I highly recommend this to anyone who wishes to learn about the tarot.
