THE PICTORIAL KEY TO THE TAROT: BEING FRAGMENTS OF A SECRET TRADITION UNDER THE VEIL OF DIVINATION
Ladies and Gentlemen,
This is the MOST DIFFICULT to read book I have ever purchased in my life (and I purchase a LOT of books.) The references the author uses are ambiguous; trying to follow his train of thought and LEARN something is like trying to lift mercury with a fork. There are several GOOD books on the Tarot here on Amazon. Please believe me when I tell you: you'll do ... Read More

I got this book along with the Universal Waite deck. I was interested in the original book that A.E.Waite published along with his now-famous deck of cards.

I finally got the Rider Waite tarot and I was impressed with that, it was the first modern tarot card deck and it became the standard that all other decks are judged by.

But as a referance for his own masterpiece the Rider Waite tarot it is indespensible ... Read More

There are tons of books out there on how to read Tarot, but get serious - they are all knockoffs from the master himself. Waite more than anyone, as co-author of the most frequently used deck in the last century, can take you into the mysteries surrounding the Tarot to help you better divinate the symbolism - especially if you are just developing your intuitive skills. If you are at all serious about Tarot, you must own this book!

To begin I have been reading cards for well over 10 years and was taught by family members with regular playing cards. In relation to the standard Waite/Rider decks the meanings tend to be the same. When I converted to the tarot deck I purchased this book as a primer and tutorial reference. I have to say that if you are a beginner this book should probably not be the first of choice due to the reference-like short meanings for the cards. This is more of a condensed version.
I do consult the ... Read More
