hi,

does anyone have this book and and/or an opinion on it? there is a lot of interesting information in there but i don't know enough to know how accurate it is. i'm thinking of getting it to read when i'm studying more about the history and symbolism so i'd appreciate any comments

The crowned one

Only took four years for a reply! Yes I have it. Great artwork, and middle of the road conservative theory's, based on the ones I agree with actually but a bit dated now. A enjoyable light read.

Geez - seems like some threads do slip up to being noticed at times!

I concur entirely with the_crowned_one, for what it's worth.

I would keep this one for the artwork alone, but I think he did a fairly good job with the majors; the minors are so-so. Definitely a book I'll hold on to.

This was my first book that rated as a better than an extended LWB. It gave me a view into and beyond the 'how to read the cards - list of meanings' and sent me off into an ever widening and deepening range of tarot related study which has just grown and grown. And yep ... great pictures.
