Tarot : a beginner's guide to understanding the Tarot / Lauren Lingard.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

When people think of Tarot cards and Tarot readings, they often imagine a mysterious world of fortune-telling, with the cards revealing what lies ahead regardless of their own life choices and preferences. For those who think of it that way, the Tarot may seem a little scary.The truth is, the Tarot will only tell you what your subconscious already knows. The real value in learning more about the cards and their symbology is to make that bridge with your subconscious and understand what your Higher Self or your Soul is trying to communicate.The Tarot will not tell you definitively what is going to happen to you, rather it can be used as guidance to explore what will likely happen if you stay on a particular path, divert to another, or even just take time to think about what has already happened to you and why.This book will take you step-by-step through the process of using a tarot deck, explaining each card individually, and providing you with several methods for reading the cards for both yourself and for others!
