Oh I definately think everyone would apreciate it, as it focuses on reading the cards by what you see,and also meditations like entering the card, it very good at helping see what everyday situations the cards can represent.

Personally I cannot say enough good things about Tarot for Yourself by Mary Greer. I think this book can be appreciated by novice and experienced readers alike. If you would like to get an idea of what the book is like there is a study group on this book in the study groups forum. We have been posting the exercises as we go. I know for one I will use the methods in this work book time and again. Love & Light,

Diana, Wow! A record. I agree with everyone, Liliana, Jade, Jewel. I wish I'd had this book when I purchased my first tarot deck about 20 years ago. I knew so little about tarot I thought it had been invented the day before. And, all I had for guidance was the LWB (little white book) that came with the deck. The best thing you could say about that LWB is that it was probably no worse than most of the others. Not to say that Mary's book is for beginners only. I think it stands up well. My top two are this book and Rachel Pollack's "78 Degrees of Wisdom." Jade, I love it that you are back. (Folks, she's never been away; she was apparently just trapped in a remote corner of Aeclectic, being made to slave away as a popular moderator somewhere below the line.) Talisman

oh talisman you are sooooo funny LOL aaah but so true. with moderating 3 sections and the boards loading slowly, i didn't have the patience to come up here too. but the lovely kiama agreed to take over the spirituality section (and she's already moderating sooooo beautifully down there :) ) and with solandia shutting down the chat section for awhile........i have the time and PATIENCE LOL to come up here and put in my 2 1/2 cents worth! in light, jade :)

For some reason I can't think of the title of this book without also thinking of another book, titled "Sex for One" . . . ??? Years ago I was working in a bookstore where we were told, among other things, not to say "Have a nice day" to customers, because that was considered too mechanical and impersonal. Instead, we were supposed to say "Enjoy your books." So one day, I'm working the register, and a woman comes up with an issue of Yellow Silk, a copy of "My Secret Garden" and a copy of "Sex for One." I told her to have a nice day.

I'm in the UK and I tried to buy this book from Amazon UK but there is a new version coming out in March (next month :) ). I think WHSmiths online still sell the older version of the book though. I've heard so much about it that I can't wait to actually get my hands on a copy lol

purplelady	16 Feb 2002
Funny, when I hear the title of this book , it reminds me of some other book too! But not "sex for one". Some other book with "for yourself " in the title. Oh , never mind! ^_^ . And Jade , I am glad that you're meandering up here now to put your 2 cents in! :) .

Liliana	16 Feb 2002
Could that other book be For Yourself : The Fulfillment of Female Sexuality hehehe, by the way, dont look up sex for yourself in the books section of amazon, you get some strange results, which of course made me curious and led medown the path of spending 10 minutes looking at s/m books, something Im definately NOT into lol

Pollux	17 Feb 2002
Emily - "I'm in the UK and I tried to buy this book from Amazon UK but there is a new version coming out in March (next month )." Are you sure? Are you really really sure? You might be giving me some paramount information... Because I ordered it via Feltrinelli bookshop - a LARGE one indeed - a month ago, and it should be on the way to Naples' branch. They told me it was on their catalog, but had none now in stock, and had to get them to the publisher or so... Now, I mean, if a new version is coming up... ??? Should I want the old version, all the same? The fact is it's hard to find, you all have seen that yourself, and they didn't assure me they would manage to get it. ??? Or should I get the newer version? Of course, this might be by far easier, as it would be a new in print. But we don't know anything about the content - or do we? Actually, I do believe it can't have major changes, right?

Emily	17 Feb 2002
Hi Pollux, I've just checked with Amazon again and they do still sell the older version of this book - I think the new edition will just be a reprint, popular books are reprinted every few years without changes (hopefully). I decided to wait for the new edition because if I had've ordered the old one by the time I'd received it the new edition would have been out lol But to be honest if the book isn't released in March, I'll be ordering the older version.

Jewel	19 Feb 2002
I would think that the only changes might be the "forward" section in the book, and in the exercises when the give you 19___ to fill in dates which would now be 20____. I guarantee you this, you will not be dissapointed by the older version in the least. It is the one we all rave about! Love & Light,
