78 Degrees of Wisdom

Heidi Aussie,

If you are looking for a work book type book I will agree with TarotLady. Mary Greer's Tarot for Yourself is excellent! It was the first book I bought. The great thing is I use it over and over again with different decks. It is not the kind of book that collects dust on the shelf.

As for as Rachel Pollack's 78 Degrees of Wisdom. I have read it through and it is an exellent book. It's very in depth. I will definetly read it again.

Personally, Mary Greer and Rachel Pollack are my favorite Tarot authors and if I could only own 2 books it would be these two.

Anyway here is my little liberary:

Mary K Greer:
Tarot for Yourself
Complete Book of Tarot Reversals
Tarot Mirrors
Tarot Constellations

Mary K Greer & Tom Tadford Little:

Rachel Pollack:
78 Degrees of Wisdom

Here is my little library. I don't have many books and have determined to play with the cards rather than get bogged down in more books:

The Tarot Workbook, by Emily Peach (first book, and it took me 18 years to come back to tarot... blechhh)

The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, by A.E. Waite
The Book of Thoth, by Aleister Crowley
The Qabalistic Tarot, by Robert Wang
The Complete Illustrated Guide to the Tarot, by Rachel Pollack
Tarot for Your Self, by Mary K. Greer
Legend: The Arthurian Tarot, by Ferguson (got it in discount bin and it convinced me to get the deck again..*s*)
Hallowquest: The Arthurian Tarot Course, by Caitlin and John Matthews (another discount acquisition, though I do not even have the deck..*s*)
Tarot Spells, by Janina Renee (discount again, and I really don't like the book)
The Haindl Tarot (both Major and Minor books), by Rachel Pollack
The Rohrig Tarot, (can't remember the author but bought it because the LWB for the deck was so miniscule, but I am not totally pleased with this book)
Plus many books that came with decks, like the Sacred Circle, Osho Zen, etc.

Peace!

... if you're aware of the recent fires which have swept especially the south-east part of Australia (an area about the size of Belgium has burned), you'll understand that I just would prefer to keep my little collection ;)

Anyhow, I've updated my original list, noticing I had missed some titles, and added a new book to the collection - those added to the list are:
  • Crowley, Aleister Magick in Theory and Practice, 1929
  • Crowley, Aleister The Book of Thoth, 1974 [1944]
  • Kopp, Sheldon The Hanged Man: psychotherapy and the forces of darkness, 1974
  • Lyle, Jane The Key to the Tarot, 1995 [1993]

I totally agree here. As a matter of fact, I copy some of the worksheets and use them for readings. The Celtic Cross worksheet is great to record a reading. I copy onto 3 hole punched paper and slip them in a three ring binder and have a record of my readings. I also use the Mind-Body-Spirit worksheet with decks to get a sense of their natures. Tried this with the Faeries' Oracle and the results were amazing.

Peace!
