This book is very easy to read and understand. Exercises are designed for the readers to be intuitive rather than simply memorizing the card meanings. A great resource for beginner Tarot readers.

I first learned the Tarot in 1976. Now over 30 years later I am finding myself having to re learn them as a result of memory loss due to a brain tumor. I bought several books in hopes of being able to recover some of my memory and learn again. I found this book by Ms. Joan Bunning to be one of the best! The print setting is just right for me making it easy for me to see. I have many decks of cards but wanted to start again on the deck I first learned on, the Rider-Waite Deck. The layout of this book is one that is so simple but yet so very complete and I am enjoying it! Parts are even coming back to me. The "how to" format with 19 lessons in all starts at the very basics of the Tarot and moves on to more advanced concepts. Starting with part one, Elements of the Tarot, it covers the Major Arcana, Minor Arcana, The Spread, Daily Reading and much much more! The card descriptions are very comprehensive and again easy to understand and follow. Ever read something and say to yourself "huh? What did that mean?" well you won't do that here! Also there is over 175 illustrations using the same deck, Waite. There is even a Website for support!! I just love this book and I want to thank Ms. Bunning for bring the Tarot back to light for me!!!

I love this tarot book, I have been doing the tarot for years and own a ton of books on said subject, Mrs Bunning is by far the best tarot teacher, I took her on line course and have her site bookmarked and decided to purchase her book, all I can say is I wished I had run across her book and course years ago would have saved me a ton of money on tarot books that try too hard to be mysterious and bogs the reader down with too many technical and confusing terms. her book brought the tarot experience together for me in a way no other book has been able to do. the book simplifies and demystifies the tarot and allows the readers own intuitive powers to kick in. I find myself going back over my tarot journal years ago and saying ahhhhhhh its much clearer now. by far one of the best tarot book on the market also her course is a must for any serious student of the tarot, Mrs Bunning is a true teacher in that she teaches the student to use a common sense approach to allow the cards to tell the story.

Pay no mind to the "reviewer" behind the curtain who complains about only one layout and no reversal meanings. If you're a beginner, or like me, have tried for years without finding out how to read the cards, this is the only book you should buy, and is the only one you'll really ever need to explain the cards. When you're ready for other layouts and reversals, buy her other books! With Ms. Bunning's guidance, you will learn how to become one with the cards and develop your own style of communicating with them. Most of us try to memorize meanings, then while staring blankly at the cards, our minds lock up on us. What we need to realize is that the cards are the archtypes of humanity, and as we use them to understand their characteristics within ourselves, they actually "speak" to us about where we're been, where we're headed, how we feel, and what we have and haven't learned from our mistakes. They also tell us what we have yet to learn to reach our fullest potential. The focus of these lessons is on finding ourselves in the cards. Once we realize who we are, then we can read for others, as the archtypes that appear in our lives, also guide the lives of those around us. Don't rush. Take your time. Enjoy the adventure. You'll be amazed at how things come together for you. And, if you want a preview of her work, check out her website.
