Summary: this is an abridged version
Comment: Everyone should be aware that the book that comes with this set is an abridged version of Tarot for Dummies. It contains 100 fewer pages than the original and is missing Chapters 10-12, 14-17.

Summary: A big disappointment
Comment: Ms. Jayanti is big on the history of tarot cards and obviously a psychology buff. She interprets the cards as a psychologist might see Rohrschach ink blots. "I don't work with the tarot to predict the future," she says.

Tarot is a great teaching tool for substance-abuse counselors, according to this author. She lets the client do the interpreting of the cards as pretty pictures, much as a psychiatrist might ask a patient to interpret ink blots.

This author calls it a "fallacy" that some think tarot readings help you find out about your future.

To her, the cards are merely a symbol system that can assist you in understanding yourself -- and you can forget about predictive readings for others. "Lighting candles or saying prayers" to her is "just plain ignorant."

I'll take a book that tells me how to read the cards. If I want psychoanalysis, I'll go to a psychiatrist.

Summary: Great, but ....
Comment: This book is easy and great for beginners. As a tarot fan for 2 years I recommmend this book which comes with a deck of Waite Tarot( It saves you a lot of money so you don't have to buy another deck separately). This book does not really teach you how to interpret cards, it just let you think and make your own decision.... Also, the author does not really believe tarot is a tool for telling the future. In fact, she defines tarot as a tool for understanding subconscious. It only teaches you few spreads. That's why it got 4 stars, not 5 stars. Besides that, this book is very good!
