Kitchen Table Tarot: Pull Up a Chair, Shuffle the Cards, and Let's Talk Tarot by Melissa Cynova

4.0

A few months ago I went to a seminar that taught a quick and dirty way to understand tarot that made it far clearer than any book I'd read. Now finally there's a book I wish I'd had years ago when I started playing with the cards. The first section is a potted history of how the author got into tarot and some what and what no to do's with biographical anecdotes. Then we get to the meat of the book - a step by step explanation of all the cards of a basic deck.

And this is one of the things I loved. With each one there's the meaning of the card but it's peppered with fun and witty dialogue, Melissa's personality really shines throughout each bit. Not just the intended meaning but her viewpoint and funny asides. I loved it. Now I just need to remember where I put my cards.....
