Best tarot book I've found!

I have been looking for ages for a book on learning tarot. Every book, website, or YouTube video I found left me feeling confused and frustrated. They either didn't explain enough or were overly complicated and not actually good for a beginner. Then I chanced across this book and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did! Yes, it takes more than 10 minutes, but I think the idea is supposed to be ten minutes per DAY, not that you'll learn everything in only 10 minutes. And 10 minutes a day is about all you'll need to get you going with this wonderful guide. It explains everything well, gives plenty of descriptions, and even helps you with what questions are best to ask or how to phrase the question for the best results, which no other book or source did from my experience. I found that alone to be hugely valuable. I absolutely recommend this book to all tarot beginners. Especially if you're like me and no other source was giving you the information you really needed to get you off the ground.

Tarot in 10 Minutes - A Day

Alright - so it's not truly Tarot in ten minutes. But, if you're willing to devote just ten minutes a day for about three months, you'll come away with a much deeper understanding of Tarot. There are a total of 29 exercises in this book - that's about a month altogether - and I'd recommend going thru it more than once. The first time, go thru it for yourself. You will find out a lot about the surface meanings of Tarot in the first run thru these exercises. The second time, go thru it for others. You will find out quite a bit on how to do readings for others with these exercises. The third time, go thru it for yourself again, but this time looking for the deeper meanings of the images. Kaser uses imagery from the standard Rider-Waite deck of tarot cards - although these pictures would have benefited greatly from being in color, they're all right as black & white sketches. The quick reference guide at the end serves as the 30th "lesson". There are a couple of Tarot card layouts, and a nice master index section for reading to understand the meaning of the cards in four different situations - work, love, money, and strategy. There's also a strange index in the back that you will find refers you to the proper lesson for dealing with questions that you can find the answer to thru Tarot cards. All in all, a worthwhile reference for those starting out with Tarot cards.

A Modern Look at the Tarot

As the Tarot Host at BellaOnline.com, I come across an abundant amount of information regarding the Tarot.This book has been in my collection for a number of years, and it rarely makes its way back onto the bookshelf!Great for beginners and experienced Tarot readers alike, it provides numerous examples to explore the Tarot and apply it to specific queries about one's life situations, in modern, clearly presented terms, by interpreting the traditional properties of the Tarot and applying them to ideas embedded in lifestyles of today.I would certainly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in learning how to read and incorporate the Tarot into his/her interests.

Valuable! Underrated Tarot Guide More Useful Than Most

I used this as my only tarot guide as I worked on a 1-900 psychic line. Over 5000 readings later I can vouch for the accuracy of the spreads, especially the lover's Celtic Cross spread. Except for answers to yes/no questions (which I have yet to find any way to consistently accurately do)the spreads in this book worked for my callers. Much better than supposedly more "serious" tarot books. Much better than Kaser's book on runes. As good as this book is, I prefer Chita St. Lawrence's "It's All In The Cards" which deals with playing card readings. But, for tarot this is THE book to buy.

The Definitive Introduction to the Wonders of Tarot!

It's an unimposing volume. You'd almost never notice it. But within seconds of picking up this book, your cards are before your, and meanings you never dreamed of are before you, in plain, concise language! And more, if you take the time to go through the book as a whole, you'll have an understanding of the Tarot that will inspire you to further study, and engage your intellect on a level you never dreamed possibe. Kaser assumes no previous knowledge on the part of the reader, so the rankest beginner can have immediate, and satisfying results! The more experienced reader will gain insights, and interpretations unexpectedly fresh and delightful. If you're a newcomer wanting to learn about Tarot and its mysteries, this is the FIRST book you should buy. If you're the experienced reader, consider a fresh, new approach. A must on the serious diviner's bookshelf. Buy without hesitation.

A great tarot guide for beginners

I used this book when I first started reading tarot cards. Many years later I picked it up again. I think R.T. Kaser hits the nail on the head more often then readers give him credit for. Highly recommended!
