I first read this book as a beginner back in the 70s, and it did not make a lot of sense, but it was very interesting. Since then I have read it a few more times, and it's just fantastic! The only type of books it can compare to are psychoanalysis case-study books. Because that's all it is, case-by-case Tarot card readings that Mr. Roberts does for clients, and then a BIG one for his friend Joseph Campbell!! If you have ever read any of Mr. Campbell's mythology, hero books, you will like this too. The Aquarian Tarot deck is used throughout for card-placement illustration. There are NO definitions of cards, very little history. This is not your normal Tarot book at all. And that's a good thing!
