This review is from: The Element Tarot Handbook: An Initiation into the Key Elements of the Tarot (Paperback)

Initiation Into the Key Elements of the Tarot is by far the most inspiring books I've ever read! Yes that's corect EVER read. Naomi's descriptions and explainations are easy to understand. With clear language she not only explains the basics of the Tarot as an oracle, she also goes very deep into the esoteric uses of this ancient and arcane system. What impmessed me most was to learn that the true reason for the Tarots creation was not for "fortune-telling" but for a profoud psycho-spiritual meditation style called "Initiation" The purpose of wich is to expand the mind of the user to reach the greatest spiritual heights! Naomi shows how that every detail in each card is significant. These cards unlock the doorways of the mind for those with the will to use them. Naomi's enthuiasm is undeniable and contagious. It is clearly obvious that she has benifited from them personaly. She is a true athority you can trust. Her down to earth style convinced even me that I can really benifit from the Tarot in my everyday life. READ THIS BOOK!

This review is from: The Element Tarot Handbook: An Initiation into the Key Elements of the Tarot (Paperback)

I have been curious about the Tarot and wanted to learn more about it, but I was a bit daunted by the idea of learning the meaning of 78 different cards! This book has really helped me organize my thinking about the cards. The author provides some information, and then launches you on a voyage of personal discovery through writing exercises. Now, when I look at a card, I spot symbols that mean something to me, and my meaning for card spring naturally from this! But more than that, the author believes that the true purpose of the Tarot is to help each of us on our personal inner journey, and not just for fortunetelling and such. I have increased my understanding and use of the cards so much from her book! I'm so glad I have taken the time to explore the Tarot with this book.
