Learning the Tarot: A Tarot Book for Beginners

Product Information

The Ultimate Guide is your comprehensive guide to Tarot Card Meanings – it has everything you need to read the cards like a pro. I was fortunate to discover Brigit Esselmont’s The Ultimate Guide to Tarot Card Meaning almost immediately after I started reading tarot. This massive book is probably the most comprehensive tarot meaning book you will ever find. Brigit breaks each of the 78 cards—with reversal explanations that aren’t an afterthought—and even includes information about each card as it relates to specific categories like “Career, Work and Finance” and “Relationships and Love.” I have personally worked with Brigit before when I took a few of her courses and read for her free tarot reading network for close to two years. She knows her stuff, and she really cares about creating thorough and comprehensive and still accessible style. You will return to this book over and over and find something new. It’s my tarot meaning bible. This is one of the first books I would recommend once you finished reading our beginner’s book list on tarot. It is truly a level-up in reading tarot that teaches you how to become an advanced practitioner.

I personally return to The Ultimate Guide To Tarot Card Meaningstime and time again when looking for a refresher. It’s comprehensive and accurate enough, yet easy to use. This book will show you how to provide insightful and powerful Tarot readings through a flowing story-like narrative. This book is the perfect read for more advanced readers if you want to give readings that connect cards’ meanings like a story. While growing in popularity, tarot is often misunderstood because it's often portrayed in pop culture as a form of predicting the future (with a tendency towards the ominous). But that's not an accurate depiction: In fact, reading tarot cards can be a way to connect to your higher self or intuition.

Creative Play

Every time you draw a card, you open up possibilities. What will appear and what will you see? What lessons could the cards offer up? What aspects of yourself might they reveal? After you read this book, you will no longer be playing in the small game when it comes to reading Tarot, as your accuracy, intuition, and expert techniques will make you a master Tarot reader. Holistic Tarot: An Integrative Approach to Using Tarot For Personal Growth Tarot Made Easy by Kim Arnold is a great place to start if you want detailed guidance on reading and interpreting Tarot cards. Power Tarot, while not going as in-depth into the history of the cards as I would have preferred (which is great for beginners), does a very clear and concise summary of the use and origin of the tool.
