I bought this book primarily for spread ideas. My impression of the card definitions were that they were "quick, generic, and shallow" (that is not necessarily bad). The people that wrote that book used years of (professional) telephone Tarot reading to create their card definitions. So I got the impression the definitions were as superficial and generic as possible to "fit" the widest number of people and situations possible, but in my opinion the definitions lacked any real depth at all. However, for someone still new and learning, or someone looking for "broad" card definitions, I don't think the definitions are bad.stardancer12 said:
I have nothing bad to say about the book, but nothing particularly good either. I don't regret purchasing it although it will also remain on my shelf collecting dust. The meanings aren't bad either if you're a beginner.Amanda_04 said:It's a great book! I like the spreads in it.
If you are wanting various interpretations or ways to look at the cards though, I recommend Tarot Plain and Simple by Anthony Louis. It's got upright and reversals in it and is the book I got started on. It's got some interesting meanings listed.
