Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

A professional psychic, Tarot counselor and teacher, Morgan (Simple Wicca) carefully guides readers in using "a centuries-old mystical tool for communication with the Divine" the 78 cards of the Tarot. From "choosing, keeping and caring for your deck" to illustrated, card-by-card explanations, Morgan gets readers up and running quickly by fostering intuitive takes on what comes up, before tackling "spreads, timelines and why the king and queen aren't speaking."

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing and Renewing, September 15, 2002

This review is from: A Magical Course in Tarot: Reading the Cards in a Whole New Way (Paperback)

I have been a student of the tarot for the past three years, and have read so many books and how to manuals! Then along comes Michele Morgan's "A Magical Course in Tarot".- And Believe me it truly is magical! The book is at once partly traditional in nature, but totally refreshing because Michele Morgan also offers us a renewed way to view all the traditional attitudes about Tarot, while at the same time allowing and encouraging the reader to experiment and lean toward your own feelings, interpretations and intuition. Reading this book was a liberating experience for me. The expamples and excercises she uses in the book are easy to do and create an interactive tarot card adventure. Most important is Michele's tongue in cheek writing style. Never forcing or overwhelming, she has the ability to laugh at herself, and to be free to explore new territory. She incorporates simple explanations, with an often humorous writing style the reader can easily relate to. The reader will feel as if he knows Michele or would like to meet her. I read this book very quickly because of her writing style, and would highly recommend it to any one interested in the tarot. It doesn't matter if you are an oldie or a newbie. Read this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars best tarot book, ever, April 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: A Magical Course in Tarot: Reading the Cards in a Whole New Way (Paperback)

I have been attracted to tarot for many, many years but never could make sense of the booklets that come with the decks or the books you can buy separately. I would do a spread, read the booklet and then say, "ok this makes a little sense, but not much," and put the deck away for another year.

Then along comes this book! Wow, what an eye-opener. Michele Morgan takes the reader on a beautiful journey to their own intuition using tarot. The cards finally make sense because I intrepret them for me, instead of by trying to wade through jumbled meanings, user guidelines, and rules. Everything in the card is looked at to enhance your understanding--colours, numbers, figures, how one card meshes into another--it's brilliant.

It doesn't matter what deck you use--this book is appropriate to all of them, because it teaches you to listen to yourself.

I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting a clear, satisfying, and EASY, tarot reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just like her class!, August 4, 2004

I was fortunate enough to take Michele's Intuitive Tarot class several years ago. It totally freed me do readings intuitively, and as a result , more acurately and with more depth. Her book is just like the class, fun, informative, and easy to understand. It makes her experience and what she has to teach accessible to everyone. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who wants, needs, or is being guided to an understanding of the Tarot beyond 'book learning'.
