The Ultimate Guide to the Rider Waite Tarot (Ultimate Guide to the Tarot, 1) Paperback – Illustrated, April 8, 2013

If you are looking for different on tarot, this is the book. I would suggest looking into The Essential Tarot by Pitisci and the Tarot for all seasons. These are my go to books.

this guide is so well done, very easy to find the info you're looking for

I believe this book will step your game up with the tarot.It's more back to the roots and not watered down by modern western culture. I read a review on here, saying this book isn't " always on target" than explaining their interpretation. Please, a new aged tarot worker looking for clout did not write this book. These two men are way closer to the originality of the tarot than someone whose knowledge of the tarot doesn't go beyond google knowledge. These men have studied, had and used resources and relationships than THE average person writing a review on google.Don't LET A BAD REVIEW OF THIS BOOK DETUR YOU. IF THE WROTE A BAD REVIEW TO ME IT'S A PERSONAL JUDGMENT OPPOSEED TO AN ACCURATE ONE.

Lots more of the same beautiful illustrations that are on the cards of this deck.Lots of categories of descriptions of each card’s possible meanings and different ways to read them.Very helpful and informative!Easy to understand.

Very basic at the core, but works

It's a cool book but, not what I was expecting. I've been using the internet to get card meanings which are always lengthy in defining, for example, the six of cups. As such, I assumed this book would contain the same; a dictionary of lengthy descriptions of each Tarot card. WRONG. This book is completely different, and I guess more a "summary" of each card, going into the symbolism of little nuances in the pictures on each card and the meaning there. Yeah, cool, but a different thing.

I love this book. I bought it after reading through my friend's copy and realizing that it's a great tool for interpreting tarot cards. It has a lot of detail and has helped me develop an understanding of tarot.I've noticed that the images in the book sometimes have different colors from my version of the RW tarot deck, which would skew the meaning very slightly.But since I use tarot as a way to reflect on myself and not as a serious tool for divination, this doesn't bother me. Overall, it's a great tool to have in my arsenal.

this book gives great descriptions on the cards. It describes what the card means in each “need” for ex. love & relationships, success and happiness, card of the day, tendencies, spirit experience and general meanings. The book also talks about the card itself. Mentioning what the details of the card are which includes the meaning behind certain colors, clothes & any minor or major details. Not only that the book explains how tarot works, different tarot spreads & how & how not to decipher your readings. 10/10 definitely buy it if youre thinking about purchasing it
