Ms. Jayanti is big on the history of tarot cards and obviously a psychology buff. She interprets the cards as a psychologist might see Rohrschach ink blots. "I don't work with the tarot to predict the future," she says.
Tarot is a great teaching tool for substance-abuse counselors, according to this author. She lets the client do the interpreting of the cards as pretty pictures, much as a psychiatrist might ask a patient to interpret ink blots.
This author calls it a "fallacy" that some think tarot readings help you find out about your future.
To her, the cards are merely a symbol system that can assist you in understanding yourself -- and you can forget about predictive readings for others. "Lighting candles or saying prayers" to her is "just plain ignorant."
I'll take a book that tells me how to read the cards. If I want psychoanalysis, I'll go to a psychiatrist.

Everyone should be aware that the book that comes with this set is an abridged version of Tarot for Dummies. It contains 100 fewer pages than the original and is missing Chapters 10-12, 14-17.

I bought this book because it came with standard rider deck, exactly what I wanted and as a beginner. I have no complain for the cards, but card interpretation in the book is somewhat different from other source and I am going to buy another book 'learning tarot for beginners' to make sure I learn about tarot. The book is thinner than full dummie version, which is good enough. I would recommend people to buy the set if you never owned tarot, but suggest to read other books for deeper understanding.
