I recently read a new book by Jess Carlson called How To Learn Tarot and I wanted to share my thoughts with you.
I did an entire review video which I’ll put at the bottom here, but basically?
This book gets five stars.
I haven’t seen a book quite like this that helps the reader connect on a deeper level to the cards. This book isn’t one that you pick up to read about the history of tarot and deep meanings of the cards. Instead, this is a guided journal that helps you see meaning in the cards with personal experience. I definitely recommend checking it out to help you learn to read tarot cards!
This sounds like a really interesting approach to learning tarot and having the card meanings actually stick! It makes each session with your deck so much more insightful when a reader can really resonate with their cards in a unique way
That’s one thing I really liked about it, too. The colors and images aren’t boring yet they stick to the “traditional” symbolism of the Rider-Waite-Smith deck so as not to confuse new learners.
Awesome! Can’t wait to hear how you like it!
Yes and this is why I like it even for those of us that have been reading tarot for a while. It can give us new insights that we might not have connected with before.
