Tarot for Life: Reading the Cards for Everyday Guidance and Growth

[Gazel]

Thank you all for reviews, links etc.
I have only had time to read Pollacks foreword, and Quinns own introduction so far.
Until now it really seems promising, and I must say, that Quinns description of what the Tarot is and how it works, and how it can help us to discover ourselves etc. is in harmony with how I see the Tarot. I know it sounds a bit silly, but I never really had this experience with an introduction before, like the author totally is in tune and has understood what I need to read and learn about *G*

Well, with The Tarot: History, Symbolism & Divination , Tarot for Yourself and 78 Degrees of Wisdom, this could really go right into the top of my tarotbook hitlist.

So I'll just continue reading now. I hope my expectations are met. I think they are.

ETA: btw when I shuffled the majors to draw a card, the Sun jumped out. So I picked that.

I hope nobody minds me digging up this thread from some months ago - but I wanted to chime in and say that I also bought this book as my intro to Tarot and am finding it brilliantly written - it seems to put across multiple meanings without tying itself up in wordiness - a neat feat.

Like cormac_zoso I have also just done the "draw one card" exercise to see why it is I have been drawn to this book, and in light of the introduction I made ( http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=130205 ) I probably should not have been surprised to draw The Lovers

On my wish list! Thanks for resurrecting the thread and for all who gave their opinions about it.

This book is one of my favs. I think it will be a Tarot Classic and a must have for new readers.

I agree!

Does everyone still rate this book? I am thinking about ordering it.

I read it and I loved it from the beginning to the end and I could read it all over again (and I probably will some time in the future) In short it is a must have.

I just finished it a couple weeks ago. I definitely recommend it, the way Quinn explained each card plus the handy little chart at the end of each card's "section" is very helpful. He cleared up a lot of meanings I struggled with. The real world stories help you apply context and meaning to the way a cards in every day life.

I got this book because I wanted to use my tarot cards for self help and growth, it's helped. It's useful for self improvement and just learning in general. As a beginner, I found it extremely useful.
