Favorite Companion book?


Hello All

I tried doing a search on this and either had no matches or 1,000. Any way I love a good companion book that you can use for many decks.

So far my 3 favorites are

DruidCraft
Fey
Quest

Karen's Tarot of Prague book. It's amazingly well written and it has brought me many new insights that i have in mind when reading with other decks. I am trying to understand the book i got with Witches Tarot, i just began reading it and i am not yet sure about it, is it applicable to other decks.
From oracles, definitely the book that goes with the Kabbalah Deck, it's universal and in my opinion simply a masterpiece for a begginer/intermediate student (aka me)

The Fey has an amazing book.

Another deck whose book is fantabulous is the Wheel of Change. Not a lot of people use this deck as far as I can tell, but it's wonderful. And the book is great too, clocking in at over 400 pages. Its one of the few books I can think of that gives as much attention to each minor card as the majors.

I really enjoyed the Victorian Romantic companion book. I feel like it is surprisingly well-rounded for a "pop deck," and it offers a lot of insight.

Hmmmm. Tarot of Prague and Victorian Romantic is among the best companion books. My favourite is the one for Fairytale Tarot.

As far as those smaller USG smaller companion books, I have to say the one for Sacred Rose is excellent! Gives so much in-depth and well-rounded information and insights. Very unusual and stimulating.

Just saw that. I am curious, why do you classify the VR as "pop"?

This isn't a book that came with a specific deck, but I often refer to
Spiritual Tarot, seventy-eight paths to personal development.
By Signe Echols, Robert Mueller, and Sandra Thomson.

I've read all the companion books that came in deck kits and learn something from each.
