Book review - ...Guide to Tarot

"I have always been interested in tarot, and had some readings, but never understood how it all worked together. Then I found this wonderful text at the recommendation of a friend, and I was hooked. I used it as a textbook, learned from the easy examples, and the wonderful modern arch-types. Now the CIG group has updated it with current findings, clarifications, and readings for our current times. Don't believe me, go out and pick it up or read the chapter Amazon provides."

— by Brad Reppen

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Tarot

by Arlene Tognetti and Lisa Lenard

Illustrated, 2nd Edition from Penguin Books, USA

The old adage "a picture is worth a thousand words" very aptly describes the power of the Tarot cards, for they have the power to invoke images beyond our wildest dreams. As we all know, pictures describe life in a way words alone can never express.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Tarot, Second Edition, will teach you to use your mind as a high-definition video camera capable of recording the most subtle images.

The Tarot can be a wonderful tool to help you get in touch with yourself. Instead of waiting around passively for life to happen to you---reacting to events and emotions without fully understanding and appreciating what's going on around you---you can use the Tarot to enhance your active participation in the events and emotions of your life.
