Heart of Tarot: An Intuitive Approach

by Amber K., Azrael Arynn K

Have a heart-to-heart with your Tarot cards when you learn the secrets of intuitive readings.  

Heart of Tarot presents a unique and powerful way to do Tarot readings that doesn't involve memorizing card meanings, using psychic skills, or learning occult lore. Rather, it offers an amazingly accurate but little-known intuitive technique, developed by John McClimans, called "Gestalt Tarot." Once you discover the secrets of this approach, it is easy to learn and master.

All the information you seek is already present in your subconscious, and intuitive Tarot simply helps you bring it to the surface of your conscious mind. An intuitive Tarot reading provides completely original and personally relevant interpretations, and can be used with any Tarot deck. With this guide, you will learn specific techniques to help yourself or others discover their own answers in a reading. Step-by-step instructions are illustrated with sample spreads and interpretations.   

This guidebook is a complete Tarot resource, with chapters on Tarot magick, teaching Tarot, and reading the cards professionally. Gain a better understanding of any situation and make intelligent decisions based on your own insights―it's simple when you listen to your heart.

This is more like a workbook. It gives descriptions and then asks what each card means to you, how it makes you feel. I enjoyed it

[Dharia Scarab · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very different method of interpreting tarot. Definitely not your traditional reading.

[Onyx · Rating 1 out of 5]

I could hardly get through this book without violently revolting against their premise. It's a good book if you want to take more of a critical and rational psychological approach to Tarot readings, but if you're more mystical, this book is totally not for you.

[Jacob Fure · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was into Tarot cards more when I first read this, but I still take them out occasionally when I am working with a difficult problems or decisions.

I use this book as a reference for understanding my readings.

I totally forgot to review this book when I finished with it, and I've subsequently given it to a friend. It provided some insight into tarot cards, and I found it useful, though not spectacular.
