  • A wide-ranging introduction to tarot—its history, the benefits of reading tarot, and an overview of the cards
  • Detailed interpretations for each card of the Major and Minor Arcana, including their symbolism and meaning, reversed meaning, and links to astrology, kabbala, numerology, and chakras
  • Step-by-step guides for attuning, cleansing, and protecting your deck and creating a space for your readings
  • A wealth of options for card layouts, including the classic tarot spreads used for hundreds of years—Celtic Cross; Past, Present, Future; Astrological Week, Month, and Year Ahead; and the Chakra Spread—plus, a mini-layout to try for each of the 22 Major Arcana cards
