In Tarot Awareness, Sterling offers his readers his extensive research and knowledge of the Tarot and its meaning, along with his own intuitive and well-expressed guidance.

I find this book extremely helpful when I am involved in readings because of the clarity of the descriptions for each card. In the major arcana, for each card there is a description of the "General Atmosphere" as well as its application in a reading. The language flows well and offers a deep understanding of the concept.

For the minor arcana, the information offered is concise, descriptive, and well thought out.

Not only is the book helpful in readings, it works as an excellent tool to heighten awareness. For each card of the major arcana, a Visualization appears - a poem in which the language takes the reader inside the mode of consciousness being considered. Thoughts for Meditation are also included.

I have several books on the Tarot; this book has become THE indispensable one that receives the most use.

This book is a must have for anyone who has started down the path of Tarot. The explanations of the cards are very insightful and full of understanding. The major arcana cards get pages and pages written about them which includes the upright and reversed positions of the cards. The most exciting part for me is that the minor arcana cards have astrological aspects assigned to them which I have found no where but this book !!! Also, the back chapters have pages of meaning with certain cards in proximity to other cards. This alone is terrific and helps enormously in deciphering the spreads.....I cannot express how fabulous a learning tool this book has become for me. I am sure it will be a favorite in your library as well. Happy Tarot to you !!

Whereas most tarot books are dumbed down to the point that they are just husks of information meant to feed your memory, this book is substance for feeding your soul, and awareness, and in doing so it expands your knowledge of tarot.
It is scholarly, but not in the sense that you feel like you need a graduate degree to read it. It does help to have some knowledge of psychology, but if not, then with careful slow reading you will gain that anyways.
This is the tarot book for expanding consciousness!

Helpful information but quite influenced by B.O.T.A. so some of the information you read on the major arcana can ring a bell. (that is why I gave it 4 stars) The minor arcana information is helpful as are the spreads. Good companion to your other tarot books. ++++
