Great book/ fast shipping

Great book for learning the tarot …. Easy to understand and lots of information Plus the prayers to God are wonderful

marvelous and easy to use

Connolly's handbook is fabulous. It is easy to use, clear in its writing, and detailed in its explaination. It begins with exercises to help you learn the minor and major arcana, followed by a sequence of explainations for each card's key and reverse key (written in rhyme, none the less) to interpret the spread. Each card is diagramed for ease of understanding. The book also includes a cabalistic comparison chart and instructions for various spreads. I cannot recommend this book highly enough, it is so user friendly. A must have for anyone interested in Tarot.

Just What I've Been Looking For

I love this amazing book. After years 15 years of studying the Tarot, I picked this old classic up and it is teaching me new things, bringing my knowledge to new levels, giving me new insights. I am awed. The meditations are beautiful and very helpful in establishing your own link to the cards, no matter what your religion. I highly recommend this book for anyone at any level of Tarot study. Whether you are interested in doing Tarot readings for yourself and others, or using the cards for spiritual growth, or both, this book will become a well-loved, well-used favorite.

I think it is the best tarot book around for the Beginner

I have studied Eileen Connolly books since 1983. They are the best tools for learning about Tarot. The meditations in the book are wonderful and I use them all the time. Her mentor help me understand the cards and the placement statements are very clear. I am very excited because I have found her website and I will be able to contact her directly. She is great.

The very best book for learning the tarot!

This book contains the most effective techniques for learning and using the tarot, along with the most accurate interpretations of the cards I have ever seen (along with use of the Rider Waite deck). I have many tarot books, but this one is the best and most used in my collection. The only complaint I have is that book should have been hardback or wirebound, since all the pages are separated from its continual use.
