Just received the copy , the front cover is creased like a fold around the right corner , seems like a used copy

Good one!

This is amazing...all one needs to develop a fair overview of Tarot!

Well structured book , definitely useful .

A very good book i will recommend this book to everyone

Probably the most insightful tarot book. Even if you are not into tarot its a really interesting read, accurately and eloquently describing the spiritual psychology of the souls journey, through archetypes, social constructs, mysticism and shared human themes. Very accessible and easy to read, yet deep and meaningful. I'm a tarot novice and this book has deepened my relationship with the art of tarot but also my understanding of who we are. Love this author, talented lady.

This is a deep, sensible, and very well explained book. Wherever you open it, you find wisdom and history, symbology and meaning, as applied to modern life, and written in a clear and conversational way. The author also groups the cards into patterns and relations, so that you are never just learning 78 separate things, but seeing how the cards fit together. It took me to another level of understanding. If you are dithering, I highly recommend it.

I can see why this book sometimes is called the bible of RWS tarot. Rachel Pollack does a good job going through origins, meaning and spreads of the tarot. I especially like her narrative description of each major arcana, one of the best I have seen. Having said that, I also feel some things are missing, a reference list in the back would have been nice, the minor arcana especially the court cards are covered only so so, in my opinion, maybe keywords for each card would have been nice too. As a reference book I like Holistic Tarot by Wen more. However I do feel this book is among the top 10 books on the RWS deck out there.

This is a book which can be read at one go, or dipped into and out as needs be. Some of the insights have been invaluable in helping me both read the spreads and understand what I am reading. There have been some "wow"moments. I particularly like the suggested spread where a question can be asked and answered. Well worth buying.

A pleasure to read and packed with interesting details about tarot history and meaning, which can be skipped for those who only want card interpretations. Many sample spreads provided and a beautiful explanation of Kabbalistic and Celtic spreads and meanings. Some interesting ideas around meditations with the cards as a way to deepen understanding and skills.

The definitive guide for anyone who really wants to learn about the Tarot. Unlike many other books on the market this one goes into great depth about the symbolism each of the Major Arcana represents. Working with this book creates a deep relationship with the cards. A book to return to again and again whether your new to the Tarot or have worked with them for years.

The major arcana are explored in depth from all possible angles, and give the reader a broad image of the message that that card has to convey . Also very useful and relevant are the relationships between the cards of the major arcana. The depth as well as the subtlety in tackling such a subject make it and keep it a masterpiece which will continue to be essential for generations to come.If you are not sure which tarot book to buy, you CANNOT go wrong with this one. A classic!The only (small) downside I would find with it is that in regards to the minor arcana it does not go into the same details and depth with them as with the major arcana. Yes the majors are very important, but I would have liked to see the minors explored deeper as well. Still, an EXCELLENT book, which remains hard to surpass.

Such a detailed manual! With notes about celtic cross and what the positions mean to an in-depth walk through of the major arcana. This book is fantastic and continues to help me with my study. Might be too detailed for a beginner but if you're feeling tenacious, why not?

This is a great book to understand Taro deeply. That is good to start Taro studies from this book.English is my second language and I find this book is easy to understand.Thank you!

The best book on Tarot bar none. This is all you need.

A very good book on the subject of tarot on all levels. Best I have found.

Item was delivered promptly and as described. Very happy with the product, haven't read it all yet but what I have read it seems really good

A bit heavy for me, but l'm only a novice at Tarot. Still good to dip into this expert's knowledge and ideas.

Great!

This book takes a bit of getting used to, in Tarot speak. Rachel Pollack investigates the inner psyche and meaning of Tarot, on it's conscious and unconscious levels. A good book for serious tarot lovers.
