There were a lot of things I liked about this book. Firstly, they break up the minor arcana and speak about how each number is different or the same based on each suit. For example, there was a section showing all of the TWOS (2 of Wands, 2 of Pentacles, 2 of Cups and 2 of Swords). It was easy to look to each one and see their similarities. It was refreshing to know that sometimes twos ca mean similar things based on the reading you are giving. It was kind of like a Numerology type of approach that I really enjoyed.
Even though I am a a graphic artist and know how to draw, I wasn’t compelled to draw each card in the sections provided. I would have rather the book paired up with a popular Schiffer deck and show those cards instead as examples. Similarly, there was a section to write down your own interaction with the particular cards in order to make the interpretation more your own. I think that is an awesome idea. I am not compelled to write in my books, so if you would like to keep all this info close at hand, using this workbook would be a great choice. I am more apt to write it all down longhand in a journal.
The interpretation of the cards in this are wonderful. I completely resonated with so many of the descriptions. I will definitely look to this book when searching for the correct meaning that just isn’t coming to me.
Lovely book and I feel quite a good one if you are new to tarot and want a nice introduction to it.
I received this book as a hardcopy paperback via Schiffer Publishing in return for an honest review.
