The Tarot Coloring Book Paperback – Coloring Book, November 1, 2016

I was immediately impressed with this coloring book as it is very concise but thorough. The author covers several aspects for all 78 cards (e.g., general meaning, reversed, symbols, colors), offers resources, and provides information on interpretations, spreads and layouts. The pages are 8 1/2 x 11 inches, so the details in the coloring don't get lost. I will be using colored pencil or crayon since marker or pens would probably bleed through.Before I received this book, I was feeling overwhelmed by other Tarot books I had been reading. I tried getting into Tarot several years ago but didn't find a guidebook that presented things clearly enough for me. This author cuts right to the imperative points to be covered, which is especially helpful for beginners. Her teaching style really resonated with me.I am now part of a group that meets regularly to learn Tarot. I will definitely be recommending this book at our next meeting. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend!

Awesome book. I bought this for myself to color and go through the cards one by one. I am glad to see the artwork is as close to the original designs as possible, the designs are all perfect like the real cards. Its a large size heavier book too, doesn't feel flimsy at all. Love it

I had this coloring book one time before. It's a good addition if you would like to color and use it as artwork around the house, mood boards, or big giants laminated tarot cards as a study deck.

I purchased this coloring book almost a year ago, and have been slowly working my way through each page. I can't sing enough praises about the setup of this book. But first let's talk about the technicalities of the book. I'm an adult coloring book enthusiast, and I probably own at least 20 coloring books at this point. In buying and trying many coloring books, I always look for coloring books that can handle a slightly wet medium. My medium of choice is watercolor pencils and watercolor markers. This coloring book holds up to the challenge! The paper only slightly buckles, even with a heavy load of water on the page–it doesn't spread to the page underneath. Always a good idea to put some card underneath the page, especially if you're using alcohol based markers. After it dried, I then shut the book, and put a bunch of heavy books on top. The page almost returned back to normal (as you can see from my attached image). The paper holds up well!Now, onto the setup that Theresa lays out. If you're just a beginner, you'll find the book is insightful to help you begin seeing interpretations and signs from the images in the cards. There is no greater way to learn tarot, than to just meditate on and study the images themselves. Our subconscious communicates in symbols, not words! So when you study images, you're speaking to yourself at a much deeper level–past the threshold and barrier of your conscious mind. This, in and of itself, is extremely powerful just for self development and discovery, let alone learning how to read tarot for others. (Gotta start with you first!)If you're intermediate or advanced, I'd still get the book as you see a LOT of details you otherwise miss (even with the largest sized Ryder-Waite deck you can buy). For instance, in the image I've attached, you can see that one of the arms of the chair for the King of Cups has a cup chiseled into the stone, also swimming in chiseled waves. In the original this is almost entirely obscured, because it's one color and a small detail. But think... The King is holding his sceptre in the left hand, which rests on the arm of the stone chair which has a cup chiseled into the stone, floating on chiseled waves. What could this mean? Is this a deeper microcosm that signifies the King finding his sense of rulership and vision from the deep well of his intuition, which rides the waves of his inner feelings and depths, buoyed by their power? Certainly this is one way to interpret it, and probably the most common one. But have you ever SEEN that part of the image, specifically, in your card deck? It's quite small in my deck, and the chair is all one color, so I didn't particularly take notice of it (perhaps I'm blind or lazy? but I believe some others may also have the same experience). In this way, I find the book to be invaluable.Between Theresa's threads of guidance (which are far from overbearing or preachy, but rather more like seeds you can follow), and the much larger images, you get a deeper meditation on the card itself, and the hidden meanings and signs you might otherwise miss.Then Theresa goes up and beyond just talking about the cards, and gives basic instructions for doing spreads in the back. For someone who is new (or someone just looking to brush up), this is a great starter kit.I love taking this out a few times a week, and choosing a card from my daily pulls that has shown up repeatedly, and meditating on it for an hour or so, while I color. It's both relaxing and enlightening. And as I said, the quality of the book is superb for any hyper-creatives or perfectionists out there.Consider this an investment in yourself, and grab yourself a copy. You won't regret it!

The Tarot Coloring Book by Theresa Reed is such a fun, accessible way to dive into learning tarot, especially if you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the symbolism. What I love about it is how it combines the creativity of coloring with really insightful guidance on each card’s meaning. As you fill in the illustrations, Reed walks you through what every symbol represents, but she also encourages you to find your own meanings, which makes the learning process feel personal. The fact that you get a mix of card meanings, easy-to-understand history, and beginner spreads means it’s not just a coloring book—it’s a hands-on learning tool. If you're new to tarot or just want a fresh way to connect with the cards, this is such a unique and enjoyable resource!

I ordered a lot of different tarot coloring books. This was the one I like best. There's a lot of black, but I lik th conventional imagery and paper quality.

This is a great coloring book with wonderful information about each card. What a great tool to help someone to learn about Tarot and the card meanings. I plan to purchase more as gifts.
