The Tarot Workbook - An IQ Book for the Tarot Practitioner (Paperback, 1st ed)

Are tarot cards really powerful tools for seeing the future? Exactly how much do these cards tell us? Answers to these questions depend entirely on the tarot reader--and on his or her tarot-reading IQ. This fun-to-use book employs a question-and-answer format to test readers' skills and improve their accuracy in interpreting the tarot. Many people can state the meanings of any given tarot card, but the real skill lies in a tarot reader's ability to interpret several cards when they are combined in traditional spreads. This heavily illustrated book sets up theoretical card readings, using the three most popular spreads: the Draw, the Bohemian, and the Celtic Cross. A separate chapter focusing on each spread presents illustrations of typical card arrangements that the reader is challenged to interpret. For instance in the chapter on the Bohemian Spread, an illustration shows the Hanged Man card combined with the Devil card. The reader must provide the correct interpretation. An answer section presents the author's detailed explanation for each example, and readers can compare the author's expert version with their own interpretation. Each chapter analyzes a spread as it deals with questions that include love, health, career, family, and similar personal concerns. Readers who hone their skills with "The Tarot Workbook" will have fun as they improve their proficiency. Full-color illustrations on every page.
