5.0 out of 5 stars Authoritative, compassionate, human, January 23, 1998
By Ruth E. Logie (Johannesburg, South Africa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It is unusual to find a Tarot book which gives more than a one-liner to each of the minor arcana. A book exclusively about the minor arcana is unique. This book is not only unique but excellent. It has similarities to the Eakin's book, "Tarot of the Spirit", which has more in-depth material on the Tree of Life, and also to Rachel Pollack's "78 Degrees of Wisdom". But the special touch here is the loving and humourous visual analysis of each minor arcanum - at length. The material is based on the Universal Waite deck, the analysis being entirely attached to the visual details of the cards. It gives one a heightened respect for this deck! And being visual, the explanations are so memorable. The introductory chapters make an excellent no-nonsense introduction to the Tree of Life. The essays about the cards are eminently readable in a pick-up-and-browse-anywhere style. Lovely for people who like to pull a card for the day. Lovely for normal people who are adding depth to their lives daily with the Tarot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Accessible, insightful exploration of both Tarot & Kabbalah, April 4, 1999
By A Customer
Of the many books on Tarot that I've read, this is one of the very best. Kliegman brings together the Minor Arcana and the Kabbalah through anecdotes, observations and analysis of the Rider-Waite images in a way that invites the reader in, providing an informative and enjoyable read. I came to look at a number of the cards in a new light, and I'm sure I'll refer back to this volume often. This book is a must for any serious student of the Tarot. Now, if Kliegman will only follow it up with a book exploring the Major Arcana!

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly inspiring....., May 5, 2003
In TAROT AND THE TREE OF LIFE, Isabel Kliegman-who apparently believes you have to give it away to keep it-shares some of the knowledge and insight she has acquired through years of studying and working with the Tarot. Many authors have written about the Tarot and most have something useful to say to the reader. However, the majority of these experts have linked the cards of the major arcana with various aspects of psychology, religion, and/or literature and ignored the cards of the minor arcana. Kliegman focuses her examination on the cards of the minor arcana because she says: 1) the minor cards are often treated as secondary but she believes they contain much relevant information; 2) the imagery in the minor cards is more accessible (unlike the major arcana which depict `archetypes', the cards in the minor arcana show "real" people doing more or less "real" things; 3) studying the minor arcana can illuminate the different gifts of the two decks.

Kliegman teaches English and comparative religion and it is evident from her writing that her background has contributed to the formation of some unique and inspired ideas about the links between Jewish mysticism and the Tarot. Although her primary purpose, as indicated by the title of her book, is to link the Jewish `Tree of Life' with the Tarot, she infuses her work with other religious material and connections as well as a bit of Jungian psychology. The most unusual aspect of this book-for which she makes a compelling case-is the notion that swords are symbolic of fire (and the thinking function) while wands are associated with air (intuition function and inspiration). Whether you agree with her ideas or not, you will want to read this book to expand your awareness. She is a provocative writer and her book complements Rachel Pollack's work on the major arcana and the minor arcana. Kliegman lives and works in California, where she writes and consults on the Tarot.
