as a tarot beginner, i think this book is an amazing starting point. it has a lot of detail but it's also accessible to people who don't have much knowledge of tarot. i like that it didnt just give a straightforward "this is what the card means" but explains the history behind each card and its deeper symbolism. splitting the major arcana into three lines and visualizing it as the fool's journey is so helpful in comprehending it as a whole rather than individual unconnected cards. I can't wait to read the second volume about the minor arcana!
