<\/a>\nEvery Day Tarot: A Choice Centered Book<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0by Gail Fairfield
\nLevel: Beginning to Advanced<\/p>\n
“Every Day Tarot”<\/strong>\u00a0is the new (in print) version of my favorite tarot book, “Choice Centered Tarot”<\/a>.<\/strong> In my humble opinion, you can’t find better information in a tarot book anywhere. It’s my favorite tarot book and has been for many years.<\/p>\n I like the different approach it takes, stressing intuition & addressing symbolism and numerology, rather than just rote meanings of the cards. One of my most valued tarot books, I use it for my classes, and after twenty years, I still pull this book out as a trusted reference.<\/p>\n If you are looking for a book that teaches you how<\/em> to read rather than to memorize, this is the book for you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I recently added this book onto my list. I can’t say it’s one of my favorite books, but I do like the workbook aspect of it for people who are just beginning. It’s not a book I would recommend for intermediate or advanced readers (who have probably already read it anyway.)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Tarot Spreads and Layouts”<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0by Jeanne Fiorini I’ve always heard, `you can’t tell a book by it’s cover,’ and this book is indeed, evidence of that. When I first received it, it didn’t `pop out’ to me. With not a lot of contrast, some of the text even got a little lost to me.<\/p>\n The text on the inside, however, is a far different story. This book has, by far, some of the best information on tarot I’ve ever laid my hands on. I do have to admit that I have a slight bias towards the author only because in reading her book, it seems as though she and I have very similar reading styles and values, but that aside, what impresses me most about “Tarot: Spreads and Layouts” is the fact that the content is not the common information you find in most books on the topic.<\/p>\n Since the book is essentially broken into two sections: the informational section and the spread section, let’s start with the informational section, which packs a punch in it’s short, first 33 pages of the book.<\/p>\n It’s the type of information and insight that you usually get in a class rather than a book. Ms. Fiorini clearly has taught a few classes in her time and has cleanly and clearly translated that into the content of this work in a way that is easy to read and easy to understand. Most importantly, it is the type of information that we all should have learned when we were beginners, but most of us have only learned through practicing the craft for decades.<\/p>\n In that, this book is ideal for semi-beginners, intermediate and advanced readers alike. This is not a beginning book that starts with the bare bones of deck structure and suits, but it is one in which beginners will learn the right way to read, from the ground up. Intermediate students will excel more quickly. And even though the sub-title indicates otherwise, I believe advanced practitioners can find useful information that they, themselves, can apply not only in their readings but in classes that they may teach, as well.<\/p>\n The spreads section is also unique. It doesn’t just give a list of the same spreads you see in every tarot book, it gives a multitude of questions, insights and options about simple spreads that even long time readers may not have thought about.<\/p>\n In a day and age when there are a million and one books on tarot out there, one has to find a new angle for a book on the topic to be worthwhile. Ms. Fiorini has done so, and given us a great resource in the process.<\/p>\n This is a wonderful book. Inspired by the book “The Artist’s Way,” Kenner has some wonderful ideas for all different types of journaling. I think it’s a must have for tarot readers of all levels of experience.<\/p>\n While “Tarot for Yourself” took you through the cards in a workshop experience, Tarot Journaling, opens you up to your own insights and impressions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This book is a must have<\/em> for any person who is serious about learning the Tarot. While I traditionally eschew books which simply list of meanings of the cards, this book is so much more with respect to symbolism and understanding.<\/p>\n I would just caution beginners, however, to not become reliant on the information in this book. Learn\u00a0how<\/em> to read first. Then use this as a reference only.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This book has got a lot of good spreads in it, categorized by number of cards used. It has the card interpretations for each card, which normally I don’t find useful, but I like the way it separates it into how to interpret the cards for different situations in a reading: ie, work, relationships, etc. It also has some really good general tarot information interspersed throughout the chapter headings. Well worth it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sometimes we, or a querent, has a question that is a little more specific than many of the spreads we use on a daily basis. This is a great book if you are ready to start designing your own spreads for those occasions. It also has some very good pre-made spreads in it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I’ve been reading a long time and have never had particular problems with the court cards, but this book has opened up a lot of new ways for me to relate to them.<\/p>\n Not everyone will be interested in every chapter, it is rather diverse, but the information is so thorough, even without those very advanced chapters, I think any serious student of the tarot will find it a valuable resource.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you are interested in tarot classes, either online or in person, please contact Lisa Larson through http:\/\/pawstalk.net\/contact<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
