Spot some wrong information

Good book but containing some wrong information. They swap the element of king and knight, king should be air and knight is fire, but in this book said king is fire and knight is air which are wrong and will make the beginner misunderstand.

Love this book

I only started reading tarot February 2019. Stefanie Caponi wrote the first tarot deck I bought, so when I saw she was writing this book I just had to get it. I was lucky that my first deck had such an extensive guidebook. I guess I was spoiled cause every deck I've bought since has had a small or no guidebook. I often went to her Moon Void guidebook for reference with other decks. Her book explaining the general messages of the cards makes it so much easier. I love the way she writes between informative and poetic. It doesnt feel like an educational thing, it feels like more. I cant wait to see what else this author has in store. If you're a beginner this book is perfect!

Fantastic guide for beginners and intermediate tarot readers

Large type and full color pictures! Great break down for different card spreads, journaling exercises, and other ways to get to know the classic Smith cards. I avoided reversals for a long time and this book definitely helped me feel more comfortable experimenting with them now.

Just Fantastic!

This book is amazing. It’s high quality, durable, thorough, and so well thought out. Stefanie truly wrote this book with all things in mind that someone would need to develop their art/gift through the tarot. It’s even better than I’d expected. It’s a great reference for a beginner and a seasoned professional. Love it!

Comprehensive Tarot For Beginners

Purchased this book to help introduce myself to tarot reading as a beginner while I am waiting for my first tarot deck (classic Rider-Waite) to arrive. I looked at many options and reviews before deciding on this one. This is a well-made softcover at 239 pages. I actually expected this book to be thinner, but I love the detail and the content. While it's definitely not a light read, I appreciate that the author walks through her experience learning tarot, different layouts, tarot exercises, and all of the card meanings & descriptions. It's really easy to understand and to follow. I can't wait to put these lessons into practice and use tarot as a guide in my everyday life.

One emoji ❣️

The fact that this book is so open with holding space for those of us looking to get into tarot for our own reasons just really makes me do a happy damn wiggle! Arms out and everything 😂I can honestly say that I am pleased and filled with gratitude that my self told me to purchase this book. Every time I read something knowledgeable in this book I get happy all over again and I say “I love this”.

I started off watching tarot readers on YouTube and reading oracle decks. I’ve somehow migrated my way over to tarot decks. This book is teaching me things I find very insightful, like making sure to use your dominant hand to shuffle and your opposite hand (your intuitive hand) to pull cards. I love the energy that has gone into this book for me as a reader and beginner because the energy comes out very well received on my end.

The book is colorful, presentable, and has a beautiful aura. And idk if that’s because I’m so in tune with receiving all the information that I can for tarot or if it’s because this author has done great work articulating her information? Either way, I am hella excited and hella happy for this new journey!

Thank you! & to all of you who read this, have a beautiful magical tarot journey! ✨✨✨✨✨✨🦋

Namaste!

Full of Misinformation

I bought this hoping it would be a great resource. However, it is full of misinformation. Ace of Wands for example: she says New beginnings. No, she missed the gray sky. The cards tell the story and she ignored a key element. New beginnings would have a bright blue sky.

Clouds is a communication issue and wands represent ego. So, for me, this is not an accurate description of the cards. I have yet to find one book that has the TRUE meanings of the tarot cards.

Also, I'm studying under a very gifted psychic who is an expert at tarot cards and knows the true meanings of the cards. So, I will work with her and keep this book only as a last resort.

Best Tarot purchase

I usually don’t write reviews let alone include pictures but this book is AMAZING i ordered a different book before and it only offered the major arcana and basic upright meaning
This book includes different kinds of meaning love, spiritual, general , reversed
It also includes a small key under each card including numerology and the planet or zodiac of the card
And in the back of the book it includes a “quick key” to all cards upright / reversed meaning
Also includes various card spreads and meaning/explanation behind them so easy to use and understand
10/10 would recommend
