Good book, not what I expected. I would suggest that this not be your first tarot book if you're interested in learning the the tarot. This book isn't the spiritual perspective of the tarot that most beginners are looking for. This would be a wonderful follow-up though. It takes a more practical look at the tarot, although, as one who takes the tarot more spiritually, I've found this book to be valuable in the growth of my understanding of the tarot.

If you're new to the tarot, make this your second book.
