Summary: if you only own one tarot book....
Comment: ...This should be the one! Ms. Greer invites you to get to know the deck not just as a divination tool, but as a way of exploring patterns in your life. She offers great permutations, new ways of looking at old readings--you'll never look at the Celtic Cross quite the same way again once you've 'turned the wheel!' Her chapter on court cards is invaluable--I personally have always found the court cards hard to get a handle on, but through her exercises, I feel much more at home with them. And that's the point--they're exercises so you KNOW tarot, not just some canned memorized responses. Also, her exercises are FUN, keeping the element of play that one needs in tarot, whether you view it as serious divination or jungian, your intuition needs space to free-range, and it has this space through her exercises. A truly essential read for any tarot student.

Summary: One of the best tarot books ever!
Comment: TAROT FOR YOUR SELF, is an excellent source of information for the beginner and the experienced tarot reader alike.
It is not a book that you read and think about, or a book that lists keywords for each card, it is a workbook that requires your attention. It is a tarot journal and an experience through which you learn valuable tarot lessons. Greer offers meditations, rituals, visualizations and dialogues. She introduces you to the court cards in such a good way, that you feel as though you would recognize them on the street, and yet, you are also able to recognize them in yourself too! She also offers mandalas, charts, astrology, numerolgy and affirmations, which are all designed to bring you closer to the tarot, to develop a better understanding and to allow you to "experience yourself in new and ever expanding ways" through the tarot.
TAROT FOR YOUR SELF is also an excellent reference book having a section dedicated to extensive meanings of each card and questions you need to ask yourself on pulling each card. It also offers insight on various spreads... from a one card reading, to the Celtic Cross, chakra spread and also the "Tree of Life" spread. Again, Greer introduces the spreads in such a way that it feels as though she is taking you by the hand and walking through each step. Its great... you just can't make a mistake no matter how complex the reading is!
Of course, TAROT FOR YOUR SELF can be found on most prominent tarot reader's bookshelves, as it is classified by many as an invaluable tool in your tarot journey and a "must have" for anyone interested in tarot. Dollar for dollar, it is excellent value. However the book has 253 good quality letter-sized pages.
Certainly TAROT FOR YOU SELF is a highly recommended book, and a valuable aid in learning and mastering the tarot.

Summary: This is the only tarot book I use.
Comment: When I first discovered this book in the 1980s, I was amazed at how fast and how much I learned in a short period of time! It is fun, and very easy to understand. Not to say it isn't great for experienced tarot readers. On the contrary! It goes as deep as you allow yourself to go. I love the new ways to study and play with the tarot. It was so much easier to open the doors after using this book. Until I got "Tarot For Yourself", most if not all, the other books I had previously bought seemed boring and very dry, or too cynical. She also goes into other authors' interpretations.and that allowed me to be much more open and relaxed about reading tarot for myself, and other people. Until I got this book, not many people believed that it was okay to read cards for yourself! (That was in the 1980s, remember)--- I got rid of all my other tarot books after I found this one! Of course, I also read her others (2 at that time) which take tarot even further and deeper. I love this book! It's the only one I need to use, even after 20 + years of looking at newer and older books. Just one ingredient in this book makes it more informative than the other books on the subject, and that is the fact that IT IS FUN with Mary K. Greer. She opened the door to allowing oneself to enjoy and play with the cards. Whatever deck a person owns, or how many decks, you can use this book, because she also encourages and enables you to use your own interpretations, and that there is no "right interpretation". Symbolism and intuition, which the tarot is based on, are stressed here. No superior, esoteric puzzles to try and figure out. My recommndation: Buy this book, and PLAY with your cards. Most of all, have fun doing it!
