Editorial Reviews

"Diane Wing taught me that reading tarot cards is very close to what I have been doing for decades as a psychotherapist: getting in tune with my client, providing a fully accepting and supportive setting, and bringing the best out of the other person. That is, the cards are tools for intuition, connection to a higher consciousness, a form of service. If you want to grow spiritually as a person, and lead others to growth, clearly tarot is a legitimate pathway. If it appeals to you, you cannot do better than to use this textbook as your guide." -- Bob Rich, PhD, author From Depression to Contentment

"Diane Wing's The True Nature of Tarot - 10th Anniversary Edition - is a bright, dynamic resource for any student looking to expand tarot skills and knowledge. A teacher and professional intuitive reader for over 30 years, Wing honors traditional card interpretations and offers expand­ed meanings to reflect current mores, challenges of modern life, and the world we are living in today. Wing teaches us how to more fully under­stand the patterns between cards and the reflections they cast upon our daily lives. This book is about understanding and deepening our relation­ships through Tarot-between the cards, ourselves and others, and how to optimize the intuitive gifts of Divine guidance. The True Nature of Tarot is the quintessential reference book for today's students, readers, and teachers." -- Maxine Ashcraft, Oakland, CA

The True Nature of Tarot encourages readers to learn and explore the art of tarot. Wing provides readers with insight into the world of tarot in easy-to-understand terms. She also encourages readers to see the good that tarot is. This book provides great teaching tools for the newcomer tarot reader and for those skilled in the art. There is so much great information in this book I recommend it to all people of all ages. After reading this book you will have a desire to practice the tarot! Thank you, Diane." -- Robin Marvel, author Healing Childhood Trauma

"In all the years I've been reading Tarot cards, I have never come across a book like yours!... I loved it!... It was very explicit down to the very smallest detail on each card... It made you feel very comfortable about the cards... Some books get too involved in the metaphysical and spiritual nature of the deck, but yours did not... I thoroughly enjoyed it from cover to cover... I teach the Tarot...I have been reading and doing ritual and spells with the cards for over 50 years Keep writing the way you do and more people will want to read more..." -- Rev. Adele Basile of Mystikal Wonder

"The True Nature of Tarot is a useful tool for the experienced psychic reader or as an introduction to the curious and anyone who wishes to expand their understanding and use of Tarot cards as a tool for gaining insight. Diane's presentation is sensible, objective and easily accessible to novice and expert alike. I thoroughly enjoyed it and came away with an expanded view and under­standing of the Tarot." -- Loretta M. Vasso, M.S., CAC, CCP, Intuitive Counselor, Life Coach & Mentor and Tarot Practitioner

"...for those who've studied enough to know that they want to gain a better understanding of where the ideas are coming from, this is a terrific addition to their library. Wing has done an admirable job of quantifying the process in an understandable way. Not only can it help the casual reader to evolve to a higher, more thoughtful level with their readings, but it should also lead to a deeper understanding of the self. And I do believe that was the author's intent all along." - Jan Byrne, Psychic-Magick, Summer 2021
