4.0 out of 5 stars
Overall good book for it's purpose, but has shortcomings.,
This review is from: Tarot for Lovers (Paperback)
This book gives an average cover for the standard meanings of cards, with extra explanations on the subject of relationships.The first two chapters (the first titled "Structure, Philosophy and Symbolism of the tarot" and the second titled "Doing a Tarot Reading") are short but good. The third chapter gives a few good spreads (celtic cross, nine cards square, astrological, etc), but lacks any spreads specific to relationships - most books dont have any for reasons I cant understand, but in this book it looks particularily strange. The next two chapters list the meanings for the cards (first the major arcana, then the minor), with illustrations from the Norse tarot. The meanings are solid and reasonable, but I find them to be somewhat lacking at times, e.g. four of wands is interpreted as possibly a honeymoon or a secluded private place, but not that of a wedding (and, at least for Jews, the first association would be a marriage ceremony) of home (a common interpretation). There's a short, but useful, index at the end of the book. Bottom line, I think it's a good book which needs some improvements. |
