First of all, I would like to say that this book is FANTASTIC. This author, Sylvia Abraham, really understands life's problems and questions. She has created the most exact tarot card reading layouts and accurate interpretations I have ever read...I've been studying Tarot for over 30 years, and I know "truth" when I read it! She accurately answers real questions about: love, money, home, children, legal issues, jobs, moving...and more. I do recommend this book to Tarot card beginners as well as Tarot card professionals.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for every beginnig, intermediate & advanced student., October 3, 1998

As with 'How to Read the Tarot' by the same author, I found the spread practicing to be clear and concise. I actually laid out the spreads and followed the definitions. By doing that I was able to visualize the definitions. Now when I do spreads for people the symbols race to the front of my mind versus trying to remember the defined words. This book is very worth it at this price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on many different types of spreads., September 18, 1998

This review is from: How to Use Tarot Spreads (Llewellyn's How to Series) (Paperback)

This book is the book I have been needing to add to my collection. It has 36 or so different spreads for a multitude of divinations and covers many different areas and questions other books do not. It however does not give an in-depth "how to" do a reading or detailed descriptions/meanings of the cards, only a very brief introduction. Based on that, I have to say it is not for beginners. It is best when one has a decent knowledge and familarity with the cards and basic layouts such as the traditional celtic cross. It also gives sample readings of each layout, but I have to say that I do not really look at those, they are just a guideline to how the cards fit that particular spread I suppose, but I like to make my own interpretations and not be influenced by another's style or interpretation. Other than that, it's a good addition to the more experienced reader's library, mine is quite dog-eared!
