Llewellyn's Complete Book of Tarot: A Comprehensive Guide (Llewellyn's Complete Book Series, 8)

I use this all the time. After looking up things online constantly I wanted something more concise I could trust. This didn't dissapoint. I will admit, there are a few things I looked up that aren't in the book but, I think maybe 9 of 10 are in here. So worth it.

This book is AMAZING!!VERY well writtenEasy to understandWell categorizedA personal and unbiased point of viewHighly recommend!

Whether you are a beginner or advanced, you can get good information from here. I’ve been reading tarot for quite some time and decided to finally get into the astrological correspondences more in depth. This book helped do that and more! If you are finding mixed information online, this is your final stop. It’s a solid guide with well researched information written by a true expert.

The whole Llewlyns collection of stuff is great for people that are into witchcraft/pagan practices

With a historical background of the Tarot from gaming and eventual growth into divinitation this book gives the basic what is and how to examples for the beginner. Covers each of the tarot decks of Mathers, Waite, and Golden Dawn with descriptions of the major arcana, pip cards, and court cards. Briefly describes tarot in relation to number symbolism, astrology, the zodiac and the four elements. This book is 309 pages of useful information and very well made. Very happy with this book and will be buying other Llewellyn publications.

If you have been aided in your tarot journey by "Tarot, plan and simple" (very accessible for the beginner), you will be able to continue the journey with his Complete Book of Tarot. It is a ready reckoner on my desk.

The author offers a good amount of information in a single book, from the history of the cards, to how to use them, what they mean, and many ways to spread them. I like that he offered multiple interpretations by different experts and a lot of detail for each one. I didn't read all of them because I still don't have a deck, so I'll wait until I have one to begin studying them.One thing that could be a negative point for some is that some of the more complex esoteric topics related to the tarot, like astrology, Kabbalah, numerology, etc., weren't discussed in depth. I understand that the author didn't want to spend too much time on them because this is an introductory book, but at some points they feel more like a distraction and would have been better to leave them out, imo. Nevertheless, in most instances the information, although superficial, provided an idea of the vast world that the cards live in, leaving the reader wanting to know more. The author provides a bunch of references in case someone wants to delve into the more complex topics at the end.Something that I didn't find particularly interesting were the examples of readings that he used. From all the stories, only 2 stood out for me, and served the purpose of why they were added in the text. It's not that the others were bad readings, but because the author didn't talk about the outcome of the reading in real life and all the examples were given before I knew any of the cards in detail, they added little value to the overall text. I didn't feel compelled or motivated to use tarot after reading most of them. If he didn't want to give details of the life of he clients he could have given more powerful personal experiences instead and that would have been more immersing.The Kindle format of the book is bad. Most tables look terrible and are hard to read, and the images are too small. If you want to use this book as reference, do yourself a favor and buy a physical copy.Still, I think it's a good book for beginners like me and serves as a good reference for the meaning of the cards.

This book has a lot of detailed information on tarot and is a great book for someone just learning

Eu indicaria este livro como um segundo livro para quem está começando a estudar o tarô. Talvez ele não seja tão básico ao ponto de ser o primeiro livro de um iniciante, mas ele faz uma ótima ponte entre introduções básicas e estudos mais avançados. É um ótimo guia intermediário, principalmente por mostrar de onde vêm os significados das cartas.

I don't think there is much Tarot not in this book. Filled to the brim with information I hadn't heard of, the origins of so many theories, and I haven't gotten into the meat of the book yet, but find the originating information and history of Tarot to be fascinating. I am presently signed up to take another course in Tarot and to do readings, not sure I'm there yet, but the more I read the more I look forward to some readings. I've had many done for me so it's about time to get my feet wet, this book will be a great help in my journey forward.

I got these book and it get stuck in my hands directly 😀.It tells about nummerology, astrology, the qabbalistic system, different kinds of decks and so much more. So I recommend it of cause.

It's a really useful book, especially for beginners ! For now I don't feel the need to go deeper I think it's enough for a start but I will surely go through the references at the end of the book when needed.

Es un libro de lectura fácil, adecuado para los que se inician, toca todos los temas relacionados con tarot, como su historia, significados de las cartas, dignidades, astrología, kabala de manera suscinta. No es para lectores avanzados. Para el que comienza y tenga una visión total.
