5.0 out of 5 stars A TAROT CLASSIC PAIRED WITH A STUNNING DECK, August 16, 2006
I count among my friends some of the most eminent and skilled Tarot professionals in the world, and I can say without hesitation that Janet Berres is the most amazing Tarot reader I know. Her "Your Guide to the Tarot" is not only the finest introduction to the art of reading the cards, it remains an enduring textbook for readers of all skill and experience levels.

Long a classic among professionals her little book is now paired with Lo Scarabeo's "Universal Tarot" (a stunning rendering of the classic images) and packaged as "Tarot Kit for Beginners." But don't let the title fool you. Ms Berres' offering to the world of Tarot literature will continue to educate and inspire Tarot enthusiasts long after our generation has drawn the Death card for the last time.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Title Says It All, March 8, 2005
By Harold D'Arpini "Hal" (Clawson, Michigan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this Tarot kit -- book and Universal Tarot deck, with bag -- mostly to have a second Tarot deck that I could keep at work for studying during my lunch break. I figured that the book would be fairly lightweight, and for the most part I was right.

The title, "Tarot Kit for Beginners," just about sums it up as far as the book is concerned. The card meanings were very basic, and I was a bit disappointed that only upright meanings were given. To its credit, the book does touch upon all the essentials a beginner needs to know, keeping a Tarot journal, etc., and it even delves a bit into correspondences with numerology and astrology before getting into card meanings.

If I were judging this kit on the basis of everything else that's out there, I would only give it three stars (a generaous three at that), since there are a lot meatier starter kits out there. But if you're just looking to wet your whistle on Tarot and see if it's for you, then for the price this kit is for you. Judging the kit on that basis alone, I give it four stars.
