Tarot for Beginners: A Guide to Psychic Tarot Reading, Real Tarot Card Meanings,and Simple Tarot Spreads

This beginner's guide introduces the practice of reading tarot cards to people who have never handled a deck. It explains that no special psychic gift is required, only patience, practice and a willingness to trust your own intuition. The book outlines the history of the cards, the division between the Major and Minor Arcana, and the meanings of the most common cards. It also walks readers through several popular layouts, known as spreads, and shows how to read them. Along the way the author notes that traditional decks such as the Waite-Smith and the Tarot of Marseille make a useful starting point, while stressing that card meanings can grow more personal over time.
