A fantastic tool for divination

This kit of a book and full set of tarot cards is a fantastic tool for divination and self-analysis. Helen Jones' beautiful graphics provide an understandable interpretation of the meaning of the cards, which helps the novice reader to recall the symbolism with ease. The book gives clear explanations of what the cards mean in a historical, astrological and alchemical context which makes for an interesting read even when not actually doing spreads. The sample readings offered are a useful reference tool, to illustrate the way the different cards work together to create a unique outcome. The only criticism I would have of this book is that of the 4 different spreads offered as a tool only 2 of them are really suitable for those new to reading the cards, as 13 and 21 cards to a spread makes the reading quite intricate and difficult. An excellent gift for the spiritual person!
