Tarot Decoded by Liz Hazel,
By Mick Frankel (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tarot Decoded: Understanding and Using Dignities and Correspondences (Paperback)
Liz Hazel is a very experienced Tarot reader and astrologer. In her book "Tarot Decoded", Liz explains the use of dignities. Liz writes clearly and in plain English about how you can use correspondences with the elements, the planets and the signs of the Zodiac in your Tarot readings. Liz also describes how important it is to pick up on numerical combinations and sequences in a Tarot reading. This is a terrific book for anyone who's interested in Tarot and astrology. The theory is very patiently explained and the book is full of practical advice, presented in clearly written worked examples. I'd recommend it for any Tarot readers who want to get to know more about astrology. It would also make an excellent introduction to Tarot for people who already know the basics of astrology. But if you're a beginner to both fields, then this is probably not the book for you. Nothing is there for show and nothing is wasted in Liz's writing. Every image is well chosen and straightforward. There's a wealth of information in this book but it will take work to get to grips with it. For example, all the sample readings use the astrological glyphs for the planets and signs. If you're a complete newcomer to astrology, you'll have to give yourself some time to get to know the glyphs. In my experience, this is time well spent. Liz uses the Golden Dawn correspondences and although she's not dogmatic about using this system rather than any other, she does say that the Golden Dawn attributions represent, "a good starting point". The book is all about attributions so there's no discussion of reversals. All the cards are shown as upright in the example readings. The appendices contain tables of Major Arcana, Court Card and pip card attributions and throughout the book there are wonderful diagrams such as the horoscope diagram of Court Card attributions showing the Zodiac signs with their associated pip cards and Court Cards by decan.

One of the Best Tarot Books,
By J.J. Sigil "AverageJo" (Cleveland, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tarot Decoded: Understanding and Using Dignities and Correspondences (Paperback)
I have been reading, learning, and using the Tarot for nearly 20 years. Elizabeth Hazel's excellent book, "Tarot Decoded" offered a very clear, insightful commentary on the interrelationship between astrology and Tarot. This book is really fantastic, and any serious student of Tarot would do well by getting a copy.
The book is very well constructed, and extremely informative. I find myself referring to it quite often. This is one of the best Tarot books I have. A good investment!

One of a Kind,

This review is from: Tarot Decoded: Understanding and Using Dignities and Correspondences (Paperback)
When I began reading Liz Hazel, immediately I fall in love with her language management. She has an outstanding dominion of Tarot and Astrology; she makes easy the blending of both. She is very precise and at the same time poetic and evocative. I had been reading and studying tarot for many years and I own a respectable collection of tarot books. Liz book is the best book that explains dignities,sequences and modes. She has a talent for writting and teaching. Will be looking forward for her next book.If you do not know much Astrology, anyway you will understand everything she explains and you will be motivated to look up and learn Astrology. www.auroradiaz.com
