Power Tarot: More Than 100 Spreads That Give Specific Answers to Your Most Important Question

I recently started to learn the tarot and this has been the most helpful book although I don't believe that it has over 100 spreads im not entirely sure. the book in itself is highly informative. it is very very detailed.

I take it everywhere I take my cards. This books is absolutely amazing. It covers every possible question you might have. Over 100 different spreads. Differeniates the meanings of every single card according to the category of the question: financial, relationship, work, family, spiritual .. everything. Perfect for a beginner and for a pro.

Let me start off by saying this book provides far more than just Tarot spreads. Admittedly, the promise of 100 spreads was the reason I bought this book in the first place. As I began my journey reading Tarot, I needed spreads to practice my skills--only knowing the common Past/Present/Future spread. There were spreads online, but I wanted a resource in book form. Suprisingly, out of 288 pages, only 84 pages contain spreads--and they're in the back. The authors show you how to do a Yes/No spread, and which cards represent yes, which cards represent no and those that represent maybe. The rest of the spreads are categorized by the number of cards, spanning from the single "Card a Day" spread to the 24 card Double Horoscope Spread. Spreads include Birthday Spread, Child Spread, Prosperity Spread, Horoscope Spread (covering all 12 Houses of the Astrological Chart), Chakra Spread (a card for each chakra plus a meditation card), Relationship Spread, Wish Spread, Career Spread, and New Relationship Spread. My two favorites are the Mirror Spread and the Treasure Chest Spread. The authors have this to say about the Mirror Spread: "Quite often, the qualities we dislike in another person are qualities in ourselves we aren't crazy about, either. In this way, the Mirror Spread addresses our shadow selves as well as our projections. The fifth position, what is really there, is actually a summation of a relationship's weakness or strengths." Mirror Spread Card 1: The image: how you see the other person Card 2: The reflection: how the other person sees him/herself Card 3: What the other person represents to you Card 4: What you represent to the other person Card 5: What is really there I love the Treasure Chest Spread because of its imagery and because it's so affirming to the individual. Treasure Chest Spread Card 1: Diamonds Where you shine. Major talents, abilities and assets that you have Card 2: Pearls What you know. Knowledge and information that you have incorporated into your life Card 3: Gold coins What you have. Money and material possessions currently available to you Card 4: Emeralds Who you know. Relationships that are now part of your life Card 5: Platinum Chains What's holding you back. Things or people in your life that you need to release Card 6: Sapphires Where you could shine. Emerging talents, assets, and abilities. Card 7: Quartz Crystals What you're learning. Knowledge and information that you could incorporate into your life. Card 8: Rubies Who you may soon know. Relationships that are entering your life. Card 9: Unpolished Diamonds Your hidden lights. Assets and talents that you can develop. As I mentioned, however, this book is much more than just spreads. I found it incredibly helpful in learning the meanings and nuances of Tarot cards because the authors take each of the 78 cards of Tarot, and show you what each means for different scenarios. The authors devote a paragraph to each issue, explaining what the card means in a g

I have many tarot books, but I only refer to one or two on a regular basis. This is one of those books. Originally I didn't like this volume because the Major Arcana, Court Cards, and Minor Arcana are all in separate chapters and it can be irritating to be flipping back and forth for them. In fact, I put this volume back up on the book shelf with the others. I kept taking it back down,though, because the interpretations are among the best I've read. You get not only a general interpretation for each card, but you also get detailed work, romance, finances, health, spirituality, and empowerment interpretations. It is worth the extra effort to go flipping around to find them. I also found that I liked the idea of the many new spreads described in the back. After all, there is really nothing sacred about the celtic cross and the old past, present, and future three card....

This is not a book for beginners. Those interested in learning the meanings of the cards would be better served by Louis' TAROT PLAIN AND SIMPLE or Kaser's TAROT IN TEN MINUTES. However, for the more experienced reader of the Tarot, POWER TAROT offers challenging and intriguing new spreads. Beyond the traditional Celtic cross readings, the spreads and layouts are challenging, interesting, and fresh approaches to this ancient art of divination. While there is a section on the meanings of the individual cards, it is too breif, and supposes some knowledge on the part of the reader. But for the reader comfortable the Tarot symbols and interpretation, the spreads in POWER TAROT offers innovation and room for growth. Well written, easy to read, and lavishly illustrated, POWER TAROT is an excellent addition to the divination library

I love Power Tarot because not only does it include quick references to the general meaning of the cards, but it's also easy to read and understand! Power Tarot is unique. I've yet found a tarot book (until now) that includes specific card meanings according to various types of situations and issues that may come up in our daily life - plus it includes a section on many wonderful spreads. Power Tarot is a must have tarot book. Beginner's as well as advance Tarot readers will not be disappointed.
