The Modern Witchcraft Book of Tarot: Your Complete Guide to Understanding the...

I have been reading Tarot for a few years now, both for myself and others; and I've always wanted a more thorough reference guide to help me improve my craft but let me tell you, I should've bought this ages ago! I think it's an awesome companion for all of your tarot decks, especially those mini/pocket ones with no booklet included; at least until you become more comfortable with your own unique interpretations. Even then, you can still utilize this text and display on your bookshelf! It's gorgeously designed, possessing almost a vintage aesthetic and quality to it, maybe the main image is a little off-center but beautiful nonetheless, wonderfully organized (a snippet of the table of contents is above), RWS images are used to illustrate the cards, and really it's just an all-around great value for your money. Honestly, I mainly bought this to sort of pick-and-choose the sections I need at whatever time but I'm reading straight through at the moment and it is such an easy, thoughtful read, very knowledgeable. I'm not saying it's without faults (I don't really know which yet) nor that I'll always agree on certain points but regardless, I adore it!!

Great book! I'm done reading it already but I still need it for referencing. I'm still learning everything. Great advice and great visuals too! Well written book!

I really feel that this book needs more details, especially about how the cards blend into one another and detail details about the major Arcana and the minor Arcana and how the two Arcana’s blend into each other.

I love how simple and straight forward this book was. The author goes in to great detail about the meanings and interpretations of each card, how they differ when reversed and offers interpretations for specific and common queries (when asking about love, money/career, specific people etc.)

I couldn’t wait to receive it and read it! I read the first few pages of the book and it’s very interesting, wisdom and knowledge of magick. I noticed that it does explain in details of reading tarot cards. I chose to buy a used book instead of a new one. I believe in preserving old books!

LOVE this book. very in depth and easy to understand.

So, I do love this book. I think it is great for overall reference to the tarot card meanings, and also gives great insight for how to respectfully treat a tarot reading, how to do it, spreads, etc., but for me personally I’m not the biggest fan of the description for the card meanings? I think they overall have a negative connotation, which isn’t bad, and I think for some people it would be perfect, but if you’re like me and have a less intense take on tarot, or rather like to see the many different ways a card can be interpreted, I wouldn’t recommend this just because at times the tarot card meanings can be quite negative in this book, or lack depth that I’ve seen in other books. Again, it is my PERSONAL take. If I had a daughter getting into tarot, I wouldn’t want her to use this as a beginner because I think it could easily give her a little bit of a bad experience in a way? While the meanings are very helpful if you already kind of understand tarot, and are able to discern when certain things don’t apply, I don’t think it’s great for beginners. The descriptions are more very literal meanings without depth rather than the spiritual and the personal journey aspect that I personally prefer with tarot. I think the word “blunt” is the best word I can use, which is most definitely some people’s style for tarot and I love it, but for me personally, I really value the uplifting and soul reaching aspect of tarot, which I don’t feel this book completely touches.

I have been interested in Tarot for years. But like most people I was a bit intimidated by the how much there is to learn about and the complexity of this sacred oracle. A lot of other books and writings about it can come off a bit overwhelming to a new reader but not in this case. Skye Alexander has provided a lot of great fundamental education in this collection from its rich history and card meanings to How to start reading the cards in spreads. It also includes a section on spell-work with the Tarot which would be the only (small) part of the book I chose not to utilize as most spells involved damaging your cards which I cant bring myself to do to even my stater deck that I have since moved on from. But aside from that this book is gives you a great foundation and reference guide that I still am using daily. Less importantly but a wonderful bonus is this book is very well made and attractive to the eye and looks great on your shelf boasting a nice textured hard cover and pages with a vintage feel. For a beginner this is a really good start it will absolutely be a great confidence builder to doing your own readings.

Daughter is enjoying reading thank you

I just received the book and it seems very interesting.

I must say am impressed with book everything is in the book about tarot this is highly recommended for the beginners am happy of the purchase with low price

Beautiful design and layout, beautiful paper, and actually helpful content. The book is well written, the content organised in a way that eases the start into the craft, but also works well as a reference work to look up meanings you havent memorized yet. The only thing i dont like, is that the beatiful handmade paper doesnt easily let you turn the pages. But it looks amazing. The most important part: I am so glad the language is actually understandable and not redundant rambling as many books on the topic i have seen, bc that infuriates me. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn tarot.

this.book is awesome. Really easy to read and very informative. My faborite tarot breakdown.
