Zanr za sebe. Sjajna knjiga ukoliko zelite da naucite nesto vise o tarotu i znacenju karata 🔮

[Lauma Llamandra · Rating 3 out of 5]

It is a very solid reference book for beginners. I liked it - I did not love it.
The book features an image and a short description of each of the cards as well as some tarot use and spread basics.
It does what it says on the tin - its a book that simplifies and makes the subject easy.
The reason I am not rating it higher is that some of the meanings and comments just did not quite resonate with me, but I suppose that is down to personal preference - I was left wanting a bit more substance and depth, but, again, I should have re-read the book title on why this was not the book for that!
I will still be keeping this book as an easy go-to reference guide and would recommend this as a good easily digestible starting point for a beginner on the subject of Tarot.

I would say it is 3.5 stars, but I wanted to be nice. The book gives more insight into the card readings, than most booklets which come with your set of cards. The cards used are Rider Waite tarot, so the cards description is not always aplicable and I often just skip it, since I do not use that Tarot deck. Apart from that, it gives you some more insight into the card and also offers some basic interpretation methods, like 3 or 4 cards, which is simple and I want a quick one. Version of Celtic cross is also included in the book.
Overall, solid book, just wish there were tips on how to interpret for example pentacles when you are looking at a relationship question. I did get another book for that, I admit, since it is something I still bit struggle with.

A good “starter” book for beginners but there is some misinformation in this book regarding shuffling and storage of your cards. The author seems stuck in some old belief systems as well as common tarot myths. That being said her descriptions of the individual card meanings is clear and easy to understand. She also provides some good practice spreads at the back of the book.

Tarot Made Easy

I love the way this book explains major arcana & minor arcana. Wonderful tips, insights, examples and explanations which help u understand the tarot in a gentle way!

[Emily Shields · Rating 4 out of 5]

An addictive and insightful read. This book is perfect for beginners whilst also giving additional insight into the tarot cards. My only wish is that she had described the reversed meanings in detail.

Very useful little book.
Just what I needed as got a tarot deck free with a magazine and this was handy to use as a guide book.
Would recommend for beginners and I'm quite interested in some of the other books in this Made easy series.

I liked it.

It’s a good reference book, especially if you’re new to tarot. I think it would be nice to get some more insight in general but that’s just not the point of the book, which is very fair.

I feel like as someone who doesn’t know much about tarot, it’s nice to get an introductory look into the whole thing that’s not too overwhelming.

It was simple, but to the point and an easy read. Great for beginners. It was also very inexpensive via the kindle version!! (:

Quick easy read

I enjoyed this book. It gave a lot of tips and explanations to read tarot cards. It really made it easy to understand the Tarot.

[Gabrielle Walker]

Not really a novel or book I usually read but need to meet that reading goal 😅

[Lauren Chase · Rating 4 out of 5]

Perfect for beginners. Good resource for a refresh on card meanings if you haven't used them in a long while.

Amazing

[Colby King · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's very helpful for people learning tarot !!

[Melanie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was okay. The rider Waite symbols book and the rider Waite tarot guide are much better at explaining tarot than this book.

[Jess Wilson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good information

There is lots of good information in this book. The author walks the reader through everything making it really simple.

[Quinn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great resource I will continue to refer back to.

[Emmy Lou Musgrave · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thought this book was very informative. As someone who practices various craft practices and has dabbled in tarot, this book still held plenty of information for me. It gives at least a full page of description for each card and has a few opening/closing chapters that explains how the cads can fit together. One thing that stuck out to me was that Kim Arnold lets the reader know more than just key words. She says that you have to look deeper at the cards and to focus on the background as well as the center, since the settings, colors, and numbers all tie into the meaning as well.

She did good, this book has helped me dive a bit deeper into my tarot readings.
