My friend is really into Tarot and I had a fun time with her while she practiced. The book was very useful.

Oferta de um amigo meu que já sabe o quanto me quero aprofundar na arte do tarot, especialmente por estar relacionado à religião Wicca.
É uma leitura bastante simples, mas que carrega o significado das suas mensagens. Como tudo, quem quiser olhar para apenas o sentido literal das palavras, não tirará grande significado das mesmas. O importante é o guia criado por Xanna Eve Chown em dar-nos as principais bases para entender as cartas e o tarot, para então aprendermos com base na experiência o conhecimento que podemos retirar dos mesmos.
Não irei dizer que tem algo de excepcionalmente maravilhoso ou especial na forma de escrita da autora, ou que me senti completamente cativada enquanto lia. Afinal, este livro não se trata de uma história e sim de um guia. Todavia, a sua estrutura está bem organizada para não complicar o nosso raciocínio e agradou-me adquirir mais um pouco de conhecimento e abrir a mente com os conselhos oferecidos durante alguns dos capítulos.

🪬✨🧘‍♀️🪷 4/5 stars — This little book is very easy to read and follow and i wish i read this before i got into tarot but i thought its never too late to read it regardless. If anyone is thinking of getting into Tarot cards I recommend this book! It's one of those books you keep with you and always come back to and I will definitely keep coming back to this book for many reasons:

• easy to understand meanings of the cards
• explains reversals
• exercises that help us do readings
• tarot spreads for specific situations
• history of tarot
• tarot facts throughout the book
• creating a sacred space (e.g candles, crystals etc)

I loved this book

i do love the ‘little books of…’ but they definitely are just for beginners. whilst this was perfect for me as it was my introduction to tarot, it didn’t have all that much information. it had a few different tarot spread, which was very handy, and some context. but the information on each tarot card was very brief, mainly just key words. great book for someone who you think would like tarot, but not for someone who always had some knowledge on it.

The perfect little guide for beginners like me, although I wouldn't swear by these meanings of the cards unless I was looking for a quick keyword prompt. I found the exercises much more useful, as they allow you to get to know the cards first, then draw meaning from them yourself so you can interpret the whole story they're telling you.

I love this book. It is always by my side while I read my tarot cards. It is so well-written with a lot of examples. It is practical and easy to use. I totally recommend if you want to learn about tarot cards

I've had some interest in getting into tarot recently and this seems like a useful little pocket guide!

[Lilith Reading Lane · Rating 5 out of 5]

Handy for pocket reference!

[Andrea · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a really good introduction to tarot. I found it easy to read and understand without feeling like reading a textbook. It was more being guided by a friend.

[Melissa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Since we are in another lockdown, I wanted to pick up a new skill/hobby. I've been interested in tarot for a long time and I am finally learning more about it!

Great and insightful book

Loved this book. Helpful and insightful. Easy to read and understand. Provides a wealth of useful information for your tarot learning journey.

[Anne Lydolf · Rating 3 out of 5]

A decent introduction to how to use a set of tarot cards. Goes through both the major and minor Arcana cards one by one, and suggests ways of laying out your cards.

[Amanda Lloyd · Rating 4 out of 5]

Helpful read for a beginner!

[Jaime Bayona · Rating 5 out of 5]

Una introducción sencilla al tarot y su interpretación

[Marta Fouet · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very good “cheat sheet” for those who are just starting out.

[maya elizabeth · Rating 5 out of 5]

Best hand book to carry around

❥ 3 stars ☆

This is only an introduction to tarot, as the book title suggests.

It’s most suitable for beginners as it contains quite basic information, along with some different readings at the end.
