Synopsis

A descriptive guide written in an easy-to-read format that will make discovering, exploring and learning about the tarot interesting and informative. Styled to represent the vast majority of tarot decks available on the market, it covers the history of the cards, how the Higher Arcana and four lower suits of the deck blend and fit together in a reading. It teaches a level of competence enabling the tarot to be read proficiently, providing a progression of simple card layouts that will help the reader's ability and understanding to build in sensible increments until they can work with a full eleven card spread to give a more knowing and flowing reading.

Review:

I know Barbara Venn-Lever to be an absolute font of wisdom, and a lucid communicator. In this book she explains the background and operation of the tarot - a technique that she has taught for many years - where 'chance' procedures curiously reflect and comment upon significant truths concerning our experiences in this seemingly physical world. That ancient notion is being rediscovered today in Science, in ideas such as parallel universes and the concept of us existing in a mind-universe. Barbara rightly asserts that in tarot the subtle analysis of language is insightful - it is the case in the interpretation of nocturnal dreams as well as the broader Greater Dream of Life.
