[Heidi Wiechert]

Tarot Games is a cute book about different tarot card layouts and how you can share these games with your loved ones in order to promote communication and the sharing of emotions.

"The wonderful thing about using these simple games and 'reading layouts' is that they catalyze the deeper processes taking place between people. This in itself is healing." pg xii

Throughout the text, the author has sprinkled spiritual images and spirals. It makes for a relaxing read.

"Playing this game together gave both friends a sense of being supported, understood, and protected." pg 27

I think people take tarot cards too seriously sometimes. This book is a good reminder to allow ourselves to play and share. It doesn't have to be as dire as all that.

Highly recommended for beginners to advanced practitioners of tarot card reading.

Excellent for beginners and the experienced! Fun for groups and by yourself. Teaches you how to relate to the cards and their imagery.

DNF pretty much immediately, writing this for my own notes

I was willing to suspend my disbelief with cautious skepticism given the importance the author appeared to place on the divine feminine (which can either be a chill thing or an indication of incoming transphobic rants. Then I got to the idea that cartoons are evil and violent and TV beams out rays that prime you to be hypnotized by them.

I will read other tarot books I think

This book is full of playful ways to enjoy and explore the Tarot cards. I use this book in my Tarot development circle. It is easy to follow with insightful suggestions to bring Tarot into your life on a day to day basis, not just for divination.
