5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, June 3, 1999

This review is from: The Tarot Reader (Paperback)

This book is of a truly different style and is a joy to read. She presents the meanings of the cards in a way that feels extremely down to earth and personal, almost as if she were right there with you. After reading this book my readings improved significantly.

This review is from: The Tarot Reader (Paperback)

Nancy Shavick has an excellent, spiritually oriented interpretation. Her insight and relentlessly positive, enlightened/enlightening approach is awesome. By using her books I have become quite an intuitive tarot reader. I continue to use her books as references when I do layouts, because she offers so many different facets for each card. I use this book along with "The Tarot" when I do readings, because I always get some more nuance by considering the many different points she makes. Those are the only two tarot books I will ever need. Also, another reviewer mentioned her casual handwriting font -- it's not a font, it's her actual writing! I wondered about it, so I compared certain letters to other incidences of the same letter and they're all different, it's not a font.

I re-ordered this book because I used my old one so many times, it fell apart. It is a very good book for those who want a lot of information about each card that many Tarot books don't give. I use it WITH one or two other books to give the person I'm reading for as much information as possible. I recommend this book for people who already know at least some information about reading Tarot cards; I wouldn't suggest it for a beginner because much of the descriptions are lengthy and may not apply to a particular person. I absolutly love the book.
