Tarot Made Easy

I found this book to be very helpful when I was first learning tarot! It pertains specifically to the rider-waite tarot, and the imagery of those cards. Definitely a good choice for beginners.

This book gets down to all the basics and describes all the cards really well. Even shows you spreads and how to make your own original spread. It's a great must for all tarot beginners.

I became interested in the tarot years ago and bought several books on the subject. I found the majority of them to be very difficult to use and too open for interpretation. Then I bought this absolutely fabulous book and the world of the tarot finally made sense to me. I have owned and used this book for about ten years.What makes this book different is that each card has a SPECIFIC printed meaning for each category that your spread position or question might suggest. If you ask a question about your job for instance, and you pull the Major Arcana card, The Magician, you will get a very specific response... "Expect a new beginning and a fresh start. A new partnership could also be in the making." Other tarot books would have some vague interpretation that may make no sense at all in relation to work. Who needs that!!! This book makes, (as the title says) tarot easy!Not only have I used my (by now, well worn) copy for years to do my own personal readings... I have also used the book to do readings for numerous friends and relatives. Every Christmas Eve at my family's gathering, it has become a TRADITION for me to bring over my cards and this book and do a 32 card category spread for each of my relatives in regards to the coming year! They all absolutely love it! "Tarot Made Easy" should be named "Tarot Made Easy and FUN"!Before she moved away, a friend of mine used to come over to my home at the start of each month to do a category reading for the coming month. Since I had a copy machine at home, we used to actually copy the appropriate text, cut and paste it all together on a few pages and then review it at the end of the month to see how much had come true. It was often really amazing! Most significant though, were the times that the tarot made a prediction that at the time seemed impossible... but then actually occured. Since she has moved away, I still do smaller readings for her using the book by e-mail. Even long distance, the interpretations seem to make sense!My only wish is that this book was also available as a computer program! Imagine being able to input the cards you have drawn, select a catagory and print out a reading! Oh well... I guess I can't have everything... and... this book is so close to perfection that I certainly can't complain!"Tarot Made Easy" by Nancy Garen is absolutely THE best tarot book out there... I would recommend it to anyone who ever wanted to try the tarot!

I have participated in classes, bought a ga-zillion decks of traditional tarot cards,have an actual VHS video tape all on TAROT...Never been able to read the cards.I am a professional psychic, and have used specialty cards. But have always wanted to learn tarot in addition to just using my natural senses. After 4 years of searching, I found this book.TAROT MADE EASY has EVERYTHING one would need to learn to read tarot, apply the meanings to different questions,and different spreads to use as well. This book is remarkable.You know when someone ask WHAT DO YOU SEE IN MY JOB?And you pull the lovers card, you wonderhow the heck am I going to apply the lovers cardto this question?Well Nancy has taken each and every card and broke it into every category possible.ROMANCEPHYSICAL BODY for health type questionsDESIREUNIONS which would cover say a client ask about joining hands with someone else in their business.This book is well done. Trust me, I have spent some $$$ on materials and classes.Something that even I found a bit eerie when I was first using the book! LOLI was doing a reading for a colleague.She asked a question about her marriage. So I said you know let me use this book and just kinf of open it where I feel it should.I "shuffled" the pages of the book you might say.I just kind of fanned the pages with my thumb a few times, letting my energy get into the book, as I did this, I thought of the question.When I FELT the need to stop, I did.I went to the ROMANCE Interpretation and the meaning of that card was EXACTLYand I mean 100% dead on what my friend was going through!It even mentioned an illness that the husband has been dealing with! LOLSo I was pretty impressed with Nancys work.She is a master tarot reader.And one heck of a great author.I highly recommend this book for any level of reader.
