User reviews
I really appreciated Huggens' chapters on the Court Cards. She brings together both popular and lesser-known methods of reading these cards, which gave me new ways to look at them. Her explanations of ways to read the Court Cards when they may represent situations instead of people was especially helpful.
In addition to basic lessons on the cards themselves. the author covers heaps of related topics, including how to cope with difficult querents; how to create spreads; thoughts on reversals; relating astrology, numerology, and the Kabbalah to the Tarot; affirmations; creative visualizations; magic; altars; choosing your first deck; and more. While I didn't agree with all her associations and will probably never try some of the ways she describes to use the cards, overall, I wish this book had existed when I was first learning to read Tarot.
