If you are into Tarot or would like to be, then read this. It will blow your mind. Ly moves beyond what a lot of people perceive as Tarot and expands the significance of this much misunderstood tool. From viewing the universe, and reevaluating what we see as 'time' this book takes you to a far far different place. For those wishing to hold on to their old beliefs, it will be a hard book to read. For others who are seeking, and whose minds are open. Then your mind will open up and lightbulbs will go off at each turn of the page. You don't have to discard all your ideas but you will have to re-think others. Some of the interpretations that you might have been struggling with, then, you see why that is. Others that you already knew, well that nodding along with your book can give you a headache. One interesting bit for me was the interpretations of groupings, which pinpoint specific modern-day problems such as drug addiction. This book needs more than one read and is set in such a way as to teach you tarot in a year and a day. You will learn, practice, and be astounded at your own ability and the God that is Tarot.

Ly de Angeles' TAROT: THEORY AND PRACTICE provides an excellent survey of how to use the Tarot to predict the future. New theories on the nature of time and reality go far beyond your usual `how to interpret the deck' titles, drawing important connections between the Tarot, Qabbalistic concepts, and even quantum physics.

A welcome addition to my Tarot library. This is a refreshing and productive perspective on the Tarot and well worth taking time to read. In a clear way it expresses how we may use the tarot and the steps to become accomplished in doing so. Highly recommended for purchase.

I happened upon this book while browsing and decided to buy it, even though I was unfamiliar with the author and her work. What a delightful surprise! I have read many books on the tarot over the past three decades and this is one of the most absorbing, interesting, and novel presentations I have come across. It is not a rehash of the history and card meanings that you see in most other books on tarot. The author is clearly well read and articulate. She is a gifted and experienced tarot reader who shares her knowledge of the tarot in an almost mind-bending way, especially when she theorizes about why the tarot works and what it means about the nature of the universe. Many of her takes on the cards were new to me and caused me to rethink my own understanding of some of the cards. It was a liberating experience. Tarot readers and students have a lot to learn from this gem Ly de Angeles.

Ly presents interesting theories and interpretations, to stimulate the mind and broaden your perspective - a must for any collection
