Most tarot books explain the meaning of the cards and how to read spreads. In A Life Guided by the Cards , I go one step further – using events from my life to illustrate the rich symbolism of each card and helping the reader see how they relate to their own life and circumstances. I have an extended section on the court cards, which are the characters of Tarot. Understanding these cards is a fascinating way to better know yourself, other people, and to add real colour to your readings. I also cover some big tarot What is fate? Can the future be predicted? How to read for yourself in difficult times. How to adjust a Tarot spread to ensure accuracy and reflect any situation. Safeguarding - what you need to consider when reading Tarot for others. How to guide your life with the tarot. Think of my book as a long chat with a Tarot expert, shared over a cup of coffee. As I share memories, answer your questions, and offer you practical guidance to support your Tarot journey.
This is a great tarot book with something to offer tarot readers of all levels. You can find my full in depth review at https://mjstarot.com/tarot-a-life-gui...
I really enjoyed this book on Tarot, especially the detailed walkthrough of the symbols on each card in the Rider deck, which I followed using my cards. The card-by-card reflections were an excellent review for me, and also provided a lot of new perspectives. I found the personal memoir aspect very engaging and helpful with applying the Tarot symbology. There was quite a bit of discussion about Nordic lore and shamanism, which was not really for me, but it didn’t pose a big problem or detract from my experience with the book.
I've always been confused by the court- cards- but this book actually made me laugh as I read the descriptions! Really helped me to see the court cards as real people rather than lists of key words. Loved the story of the author- forgot I was reading a book about Tarot sometimes because I got lost in the story, and this helped me to understand the cards in a more real way.
