Product Description

Tarot study can be daunting, with all the complex associations that the cards hold. The Complete Tarot Reader by Teresa C. Michelsen is possibly the best-structured learning tool, because it is organized like a study guide, including goals, activities and exercises. You learn easy methods for familiarizing yourself with a Tarot deck, as the book encourages you to use your own life experiences and knowledge to develop a personal understanding of the cards that transcends any memorized list.

Everything is covered in depth. You'll come to understand:

• The basis of intuitive Tarot reading
• Suit correspondences and numerology of the numbered cards of all suits
• Astrology and personality for the court cards
• Historical and personal themes in the Major Arcana
• Reading for yourself and others
• How to overcome reader's block
• Intermediate reading techniques

The Complete Tarot Reader covers basic and complex methodology, including reversals, elemental dignities, timing of events, formulation of questions, numerology and the Tarot, astrology and the Tarot, symbols on the cards and much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent addition to the tarot literature, March 20, 2005
By Dr. Suz (Watertown, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This book is a valuable resource and a delightful read as well! The author writes as she teaches - engagingly and openly - in a friendly, down-to-earth way. The book itself is invitingly organized and is paced nicely, plus its appendices reveal aspects of cards i'd never considered before. On my shelf, it will join Mary K. Greer's books (Tarot for Your Self, Complete Book of Tarot Reversals, and Understanding the Tarot Court - with T. Little), Bunning's Learning the Tarot, and Kliegman's Tarot and the Tree of Life.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have been a card reader for 28 years. This book is by far the best thing I've come across in all that time. It is simple to understand and clear. It covers important basic aspects with depth. What more could you want?

2.0 out of 5 stars The Complete Tarot Reader, February 6, 2009
If you're new to Tarot or looking for basic card interpretations, don't buy this book! It may not be appropriate for newbies to Tarot. It addresses the author's "intuitive" approach to reading the cards, but on page one, the author clearly states, "There are three ways to learn the Tarot...(1) tradition meanings of the cards, (2) the intuitive approach, and (3) underlying structures and patterns." The author goes on to say there are plenty of books to teach the first way so there's no point in repeating that in this book.

Well, I'm new to Tarot and I expect to find traditional meanings explained, in addition to whatever other approach the author could relate. I was disappointed not being able to find basic card interpretations. Now I have to find another book that teaches those.

Of course, if you're an advanced Tarot reader and already are very familiar with basic card interpretations, maybe this book is for you.
