Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: Fact 2: The tarot is simply a deck of seventy-eight cards with imaginative images printed on them. The accuracy of the tarot depends on the intuitive faculties of the reader. Evil does not reside in pieces of cardboard; it is a distinctly human trait.

Complete Book of Tarot: Myth 3: You must never make a major decision without first consulting the cards.

Complete Book of Tarot: here is a well-known saying in computer science: garbage in, garbage out. The same holds true when asking questions of the tarot. A thoughtful, open-ended question is a prerequisite for obtaining a useful reading from the cards. In this chapter, we will look at various ways to phrase questions, some of which are productive and others of which are likely to result in ambiguous or less than helpful readings.

Tarot Triumphs: It’s important to keep this basic premise in mind and see the fundamental practicalities of Tarot reading as a foundation for our own forays into divination. We may study the deeper meanings, long history, and subtle nuances of the Tarot, but if we are going to give readings, the ultimate premise is that of question and answer. So, in this chapter, I invite you to begin as ‘fortune-teller,’ to consult the cards and obtain a reading in a similarly direct and simple way.
