The Tarot Bible: Godsfield Bibles

I struggle to read and stay focused but this book was easy and straightforward and keep me interested and I learned alot as well. Would recommend this if your learning tarot

Great book, easier to understand than other tarot reading books.

I got this book when I returned to tarot reading after a 20-year gap. Not surprisingly, I had forgotten lots in the meantime, but this book has really got me up to speed, and I use it every day.My few quibbles are: the "...Bible" title - this is part of a series, all called "The ... Bible", and as a pagan I find redundant the Judaeo-Christian notion that a "Bible" is therefore definitive. (And it leads to some very odd titles too: "The Wicca Bible" anyone?) Also some of the (non-tarot) pictures inside are very 'Getty Images' - a little slick and manufactured.But on to the meat of it. Each card is illustrated clearly, using a Rider-Waite derived deck, and has a page of explanation opposite. The author explains not just the card's meaning, but how this can vary if the card is a blockage, for example. I've found this very useful when an unexpected card has cropped up and I've found it hard to interpret. There are LOTS of different spreads explained, which was a big surprise for me - I only ever used the Celtic Cross when I was younger, but now I've found very quick three-card spreads which are great for every day.The section on "relationship spreads" works least for me. Personally, I don't think turning over cards is anywhere near as informative as TALKING TO your partner, but that's just me perhaps. In all, this book is well worth the cover price, and is a very clear and easy read. If you're a total newbie, it's a great buy - some books seem to want you to steep yourself in esoteric study for months before touching a card, but this will get you cracking out the cards and doing simple readings from Day One, which I think is great.As with all this series, the paper and cover stock are good, the font clear and easy to read and it's overall an extremely user-friendly product that really helps to make its subject accessible and enjoyable.

The book is well designed, easy to consult, very well written and it fundamentally is all that it says on its cover, an essential guide to the Tarot. I also like the angle it takes which is never a gloom and doom one as some of the other textbooks may have but a much more contemporary one instead.

Been recommended this book, so thought I'd try it but it came in french when the description says that it is English so returned

Small but perfectly formed and packed with useful spreads, analysis and guidance for the beginner.

A very well laid-out book, easy to read and pleasing on the eye. Have some lovely pictures of various tarot decks and has useful information for how to begin your tarot reading, and I like the fact it stresses the importance of developing and learning to trust your intuition. A professional tarot reader does not need pictures on the Minor Arcana in order to do a good reading. By pictures, I mean as in the Rider Waite deck, not as in the Marseilles' deck. There are absolutely loads of excellent beginner spreads as well as complex spreads for the more experienced. All-in-all a great book to own for any Tarot enthusiast and highly recommend it for beginners.

This book it s perfect! I suggest to buy this one, specially for the new beginners in te world of tarot.
