See all formats and editions

Four-hundred-eighty beautifully illustrated pages, filled with fresh information and eye-opening explanations, will bring Tarot enthusiasts more knowledge and understanding than ever before. This illuminating guide begins by restoring the cards’ authentic order, which opens up new philosophical possibilities in interpretation. The meanings of the two blank cards traditionally added to every deck are revealed, and two of the Major Arcana— Truth and Intuition—appear once again after centuries. These restorations make the Tarot complete, and more clearly reveal its structure. Learn exactly what the Tarot is; how it can serve as a path through life; the meaning of all the cards in the Major and Minor Arcana; how to use the Tarot as a tool of divination, and more.

So far the best book on Tarot I have purchased. Not sure why I had to buy 10 other books first, before I heard about this one. I found out about it on a Tarot web site.

I teach Tarot reading and found this book to be a wonderful supplement to what I already knew. It truly adds an extra dimension to the art of reading the Tarot! Highly recommended.

A very in depth and mind opening look at Tarot

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2023

I was blessed to come across a copy of this book in a used book store. It looked brand new. Once I started into it I was amazed at how much information it contains and how much I was learning. I have a few dozen different books on Tarot, it’s a passion of mine, and this book contained things I’d not come across before. I know that previous reviewers have found some fault based on what they were looking for, and that is understandable and valid. For the minimal price I paid for such a large book, I bought it mainly to add to my collection. What I received was so much more than expected. This book is AWESOME! Seriously, it is packed with so much knowledge that will help one better understand the tarot from a variety of different perspectives. This is important because so often I’ll receive intuition on a card during a reading that totally contradicts the “standard” guidebook basics of the card. I go with my intuition regardless and it always seems to be what the querent is experiencing. This book, with it’s multiple sided view of the cards helps connect my intuition with the traditional interpretations of the cards. I love that! Studying this book is like a card reading. Some things will resonate and others won’t. That being said, there are times that the resonance has a delayed response. It doesn’t mean anything today, but next week it just might be relevant. I love this book!

If you are looking for an introduction to Tarot card reading or something simple for explaining the cards - THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR YOU; any explanation of card meanings does not start until PAGE 320! If you are a Tarotist with a solid basis of Tarot and need a few ideas tossed at you, then is will be an interesting 'supplemental' read. However, it can sometimes come across as dry academia, sometimes completely boring me to tears.

The authors repeated talk about the 'two blank cards' that come with every Tarot deck - I have no idea to what they are referring - and that they 'reclaim' those two cards but then make so many changes and re-order the Majors that you wonder why this should be called 'The Complete New Tarot' - it seems they use Tarot as a 'jumping off' point.

If you are looking for explanations of the cards and their meaning - this is not the book. The authors are very good at explaining what, where, and why ... but they do not explain 'how' to read these 'new' cards in a reading. If fact - there are times the explanations don't even match the images of their own re-drawn cards. Example: The Seven of Swords man stealing the swords from the encampment - description is that this card shows the Soul during the process of reincarnation - and the encamped army is the 'family' of the unborn child - and that Man is looking at the bound woman in the Eight of Swords card - who is his mother!

Another problem I have - which I blame on the translation into English - is that many times there are explanation sentences where the thought at the beginning and at the end have no connection to each other whatsoever, other than the use of the conjunction 'and' between them. (Made-up example:) "The Four of Wands shows Jesus' love for us AND that the sky is blue". Then there is no explanation as to how these two things apply to each other - or the card.

The charts, however, are excellent and interesting; they do support the author's descriptions and explanations as to why they reordered and added things. But charts alone are not going to help you understand - OR USE - this information to do a reading. And that is what I believe the majority of people new to Tarot are looking for - how to read the cards.

This is not that book.
