Looking for a perfect gift for your Tarot-loving loved ones? Here’s ten books that’ll make them smile.
The first six teach Tarot and they’re all excellent …
•Tarot for Beginners: A Practical Guide to Reading the Cards by Barbara Moore – a general book for Tarot beginners, though advanced readers might like it too (I do!)
Tarot for Life
•Tarot for Life: Reading the Cards for Everyday Guidance and Growth by Paul Quinn – an excellent general Tarot guide for beginners and advanced readers
•Tarot Wisdom: Spiritual Teachings and Deeper Meanings by Rachel Pollack – another great Tarot overview for beginners and advanced readers
•21 Ways To Read A Tarot Card by Mary K. Greer – amazing Tarot exercises for all levels
The Way of Tarot
•The Way of Tarot: The Spiritual Teacher in the Cards by Alejandro Jodorowsky – examines the Marseille deck in particular, but anyone seriously interested in Tarot should read this book
•Understanding Aleister Crowley’s Thoth Tarot by Lon Milo Duquette – focuses on the Thoth Tarot, a must for anyone using that deck
The next four are not specifically about Tarot, but Tarot fans might like them as much as I do …
•Women of the Golden Dawn: Rebels and Priestesses: Maud Gonne, Moina Bergson Mathers, Annie Horniman, Florence Farr by Mark K. Greer – about four fabulous women, all important members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn
Cosmos and Psyche
•Cosmos and Psyche: Intimations of a New World View by Richard Tarnas – philosophy and astrology, this fascinating book examines planetary alignments and the patterns of human history
•The ESP Enigma: The Scientific Case for Psychic Phenomena by Diane Hennacy Powell, MD – takes a very interesting scientific look at psychic research
•Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke – an incredibly fun novel about the real world of magic in 19th Century England
This is by no means an exhaustive list. I just tried to keep it down to ten. And they’re all books I’ve read (or re-read) over this last year. It’s fresh in my mind how much I like them.
