The Modern Witchcraft Book of Tarot: Your Complete Guide to Understanding the Tarot (Modern Witchcraft Magic, Spells, Rituals)

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.

I have ordered this book twice. Once for myself and once for a friend. The very first tarot deck that I got came with a really small book that just didn’t describe the cards in a way that I was looking for. It’s a really comprehensive guide to tarot. I have found it both useful in my beginner stages as well as my more advanced tarot spreads. Regardless, it’s a resource that I continually return to pull after pull.

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!!

Excellently written. Easy to follow and understand. Keeps your attention. Highly recommend. Author is knowledgeable of topic. Encouraging to incorporate in own life.

so i’m *very* new to tarot. I had no idea what I was doing or where to even begin. I just kinda jumped in lol I watched a few videos & bought a few books before this one, nothing really helped, it just made me overwhelmed. Then I found this one!!! My biggest advice is to start with THIS book! It’s so easy to understand which helped strengthen my own intuition and connect to my deck. Im using a RWS deck with this book because it definitely helps me to see the same image on the page as I see on my card. The book itself is hauntingly gorgeous! The cover, the pages, the purposeful “stains” on the edges makes it feel like it’s already broke in and very wise, like a witchy grandmother passed it down to me haha! There are spells and spreads in the back of the book, I haven’t gotten that far yet but just reading through them made me so excited! It has become a very scared book in my library and i’m very blessed to have it. For anyone getting into to tarot I could not recommend this enough! ✨

This is a nice book to have in your collection, especially if you are a beginner. I like that it is easy to understand and that it is not overwhelming like some of the other books out there. It has that old look and vibe like it is something that you found in your great-grandmother's basement. It explains the history and of course the meaning of the cards. It is a book that you can refer to any time.

Bought this after buying some tarot cards. Good read. Interesting.

Perfect
