Now that this title has been available for a short while, I am hoping those of you who have "Tarot for Life" will share their thoughts here. (Asher, are you there?!)... This title looks like it might be something altogether different. I'd love to hear what others think.
Hi weaver!
I'm here, and am just beginning to carefully read this book. I have skimmed parts of it, but had 2 other books to finish first. They are done, and I am ready to work through _Tarot for Life_. So far, I like the writing style, very down to earth and readable, and to the point.
After describing and talking about each card, Paul offers a real life example of how the card plays out...very interesting and helps bring the card meanings to life. Also included for each card are tables of attributes (meanings), categorized as (general) Keywords, Being (feelings & inner states), Doing (actions), Shadow, Reversed and meanings for Possible Advice Reversed. Following the tables are Questions for Reflection which are quite good and could be used in spreads as well.
A chapter on Reading the Cards concludes the book. It talks about reading for yourself, reading for others, asking the right question, and keeping it simple. This chapter also includes a variety of spreads, and a section on creating your own spreads. Four appendices are also included: Major Arcana (Soul Task, Shadow/Excess, Deficiency/Blockage), Number Meanings, Astrological & Planetary Correspondences, and Chakras.
A comprehensive and well-thought out book, one I can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone.
Asher
