4.5 stars; Informative, concise, and has some great illustrations
Learning tarot is fun but also scary and overwhelming. I started a few books but abandoned them due to different reasons. The cover of this book grabbed my interest, and the page count seemed reader-friendly (considering it includes an array of topics).Tarot Magick provides an introduction to tarot readings, choosing a deck, caring for it, reading the cards, learning the spreads, and a handful of spells to try (at the end). This is a lot to digest, except that everything is brief, crisp, and to the point. Both upright and reversals are covered.The focus of the interpretation is on the symbolism, which is something I’m still trying to work with. Though the book has cards designed by the author and illustrated by Viki Lester, the author explains the symbolism of the standard RWS (Raider Waite Smith) deck. I read the interpretations while zooming in on the images I have with me. This helped me get a better idea of the details I missed until now.The book has plenty of illustrations (all the major arcana are full-page illustrations) and is so, so lovely! The darkish color schemes bring out the necessary details. I love their vibe- powerful, confident, artsy, and magical.To summarize, Tarot Magick is a vibrant and informative book that will help a tarot learner get more comfortable with the cards and their symbolism. I know I will continue to refer to this book for a long time.Thank you, NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Leaping Hare Press, for the eARC.

Excellent intro to Tarot. Recommend for any beginner
I bought this to learn Tarot and not disappointed. A good introduction that has you develop an intimate relationship with the cards. Nice features like a book jacket that can work as a bookmark but the inside is a Tarot spread! Nice.

A great tarot book
This is one of the best tarot books I have read. This was a beautifully illustrated and wonderfully organized book that breaks down a tarot deck and the many ways you can interpret the cards.In this book, Squire provides information on the Major and Minor arcana by providing information about the ruling planet, zodiac signs, element, keywords for upright and reversals, and explain their meanings for both upright and reversals. Squire not only breaks down each card, but she also provides extremely helpful information about how to determine time with cards, numerology, answering Yes or No questions, the four elements, and planet correspondences.Squire also provides ways to journal with your tarot and how to use tarot cards in your spellwork. I am very interested in applying tarot cards to spellwork now. Overall, this is an absolutely wonderful beginner tarot book and I highly recommend it, especially since it has wonderful illustrated quick reference pages with each section.

Excellent book for anyone interested in tarot
This is an excellent book for both tarot beginners and those with some experience. As well as covering how to choose, cleanse and bond with a tarot deck, the author discusses numerology, astrology, colours and symbols in relation to the cards. They also provide a good brief description of each card and some suggested spreads. All of this adds up to a comprehensive introduction which should give beginners confidence in their readings.I particularly liked the section on spells and rituals, which differs from other tarot books I have read.I was given an e-copy of the book to review, and thank the publisher and NetGalley for this. Although it is not easy to see on an e-copy, the book looks beautifully illustrated.I would recommend this to anyone interested in a brief but comprehensive introduction to the tarot.

Good resource for new beginners to Tarot.
A good source of information, regarding tarot. The lay out for the Major and Minor Arcana is nicely. I appreciate the information regarding the Zodiac signs and connections, as well as Numerology. Although I’m not interested in that subject at the moment I appreciate the information was provided.The pictures are neat and unique, and I can’t wait for the tarot deck in a month to arrive.The only downside is the pages they explain the tarot cards and the spreads are written in black with very dark backgrounds. I will need a flashlight just to read them. I will defiantly go back to this book for reference in the future.All in all it looks to be a good book. A nice size, it’s not too awkward to hold. It’s a decent size. I’d would have liked there to be the pictures of the corresponding Minor Arcana to be honest.If you’re interested in tarot, I’d say try this book out as well as others.
