5.0 out of 5 stars Thoth Tarot decoded, February 11, 2006

By	Bonnie Cehovet (Shelton, WA United States) - See all my reviews

"Integral Tarot" speaks for itself - integrating the Tarot into our lives on all levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It is important to note that the foundation for Suzanne's work is the Thoth Tarot, by Aleister Crowley and Lady Frieda Harris. While the majority of the information contained in this book will also apply to the widely popular Rider-Waite Tarot (by Arthur Edward Waite and Pamela Coleman Smith), to have a work of this depth devoted specifically to the Thoth Tarot is a definite bonus for readers who use this deck.

Each card is presented with astrological and archetypal associations, upright and reversed interpretations, questions for the Seeker to ask themselves when the card comes up in a reading, the yes/no determination for each card (this was a new and exciting addition to Tarot interpretation for me!), quotes, the body aspect (for the Trumps), the Path (for the Trumps), Self Help (for the Trumps), positive and negative qualities (for the Court cards), and affirmations (for the Pips, or numbered cards).

There is a section called a catalog at the back of the book that discusses the major symbols found in each of the 80 cards (the Thoth Tarot has three versions of the Magus, or Magician)that is quite helpful in incorporating esoteric content into a digestible format.

There are also sections on timing, health, and yes/no/maybe cards, along with a very helpful page that lists cards associated with death, legal issues, long term potential, pregnancy, school, and change.

There is a section devoted to the upright and reversed meanings for each of the cards, as well as a section devoted to in-depth spreads.

I found this material to be well presented, easy to understand, true to traditional meanings for the Thoth Tarot, and gifting the reader with a myriad of ways to put the Tarot to work in their own lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to follow methodology, November 20, 2005

By	Duanne Redus (Wimberley, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Even though I'm studied Tarot for years, I found Suzanne's methodology rich and informative in ways that surprised me.
She has integrated the science and art of symbology and made it accessible and useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical Insights, November 15, 2005

By	L.A. Woman (L.A., CA USA) - See all my reviews

Suzanne's insights are magical and yet surprisingly simplistic. She bridges the gap of understanding between all belief systems by explaining how the inner workings of the soul can be understood thru the beauty of the Tarot.
