If there were 10 stars I'd give it a 10
When I first saw this book I thought, interesting, but do I really need it? I was doing just fine with a 3 or 5 card Past, Present, Future reading each day. A daily reading is unquestionably a time tested way to learn the Tarot. It is The way to learn to “Know Thyself”. So 365 Tarot spreads sounded over the top to me. I’m on a budget, and though I’m a glutton for books and decks, I limit myself to those I can’t do without and this one turned out to be irresistible. The question is the key ingredient to a good Tarot card reading, these questions are about as juicy as it gets. If you are brand-new to Tarot this is not the book for you. As a beginner, you should start out by pulling one card a day and keeping a journal. Once past the stage of the beginner it's time for a book like this one to help you spread your creative wings.There are spreads that include Animals and Cinema, Fairy Tales and Finance. There is a Lawsuit spread, and a Celebrate Like a Queen Birthday Spread. There is a Limiting Belief spread and a Party Planning Spread and my favorite so far, the Hidden Desire spread. There is a chapter for each month and a spread for each day, but you are free to just jump into the inspiring index and choose a spread at will.If there were 10 stars I'd give it a 10

Fascinating and Wildly Diverse Tarot Spreads - and so much more!
Outstanding book of wildly diverse and interesting tarot spreads - and, oh, so much more. Wonderful insights for each day of the year, and each page has something fascinating to learn. Not just about tarot or particular cards, but - for example - whose birthday or event a particular day is/was (and the spread based upon that person or issue) or other not-so-trivial esoterica. The author has such a wonderful sense of humor. I just love Sasha Graham's books about tarot, and this is a great one. They are written by a funny wise modern woman who is as familiar with tarot as cell phones and the internet, not some century-old mystical society of stuffy Victorian men.

This is thought provoking and also at times very funny
I love this book, i am currently starting in May, the spreads are different and thought provoking. I particularly enjoyed the Freedom Spread on page 156 with questions about freedom of person and political opinion. For each day of the year there is a spread along with layout design. At the back of the book are an index of spreads with title headings such as Animals, Cinema, Creativity, Fairy Tales, Finance and Legal Matters, General Advice, Goddess and God, Grief,Sadness and Moving Forward,Health and Well-Being,Holidays, Home and Family, Literary, Love and Romance, Mythical Creatures,Nature,Occult and Esoteric, Out of This World,Self-Knowledge, Sensual, Spiritual. Under these headings are many different spreads, I chuckled through the Zombie Apocalypse Spread under Mythical Creatures. This is a great book for a tarot reader who wants to explore tarot in depth with both humour and seriousness. Thank you Sasha Graham.

Fun book for when you want to just enjoy a random reading
I actually very much enjoyed this book. Sometimes I want to play with my cards a bit and am not sure on what I want to ask about, or just want to do something fun and not too serious. This book of spreads is super handy for just getting in there for a practice or lighthearted reading.I am not a huge fan of the 'pop culture' spreads (some are fairly dated), but they are really made up for with the useful spreads for various goddesses, sabbats, and astrological themed ones.Overall, an entertaining book for when you want to throw some cards but don't want to get too serious.

Original ideas, fun spreads
Super fun book. I don’t use this book everyday but it has a wide variety of spreads that cover a lot of topics ( finance, releationships, spirituality, etc.). Quite a few of the spreads are loosely themed around pop culture references or figures ( a Twilight themed “Love Triangle” spread comes to mind) and some of those can be a *tad* corny but overall a happy purchase. I applaud the creativity and originality overall- there are 365 spreads in this book, and the author did a good Job of including lots of variety. Her writing is straightforward and easy to follow as well as her instructions for how to lay/read the spread and what each card represents.If you are looking to spice up your readings or are sick of the Celtic cross This book is a good reference. Paperback but feels very sturdy and I believe will hold up well over lots of use.

Wonderful for helping a beginner with the biggest tarot hurdle
I bought this book for my (still) early exploration into Tarot. One of the hardest things for me to do as a beginner was decide what to ask the cards beyond the basic spreads which come in the book with your deck. This book is tremendously helpful in that regard. The spreads vary in size and scope. I don't always have time for a nine or ten card spread, so it's nice to have some five and six card options. While some of the questions become a bit repetitive, you can always find a different spread to try. The intros for each day's spread are almost always interesting. The individual card info on each page is really tremendous and has offered unique insight on many occasions. My only complaint is that because I like the aforementioned card info so much, I wish it were indexed but it's not, so you have to get lucky to find info which matches. Highly recommended all in all.

But it now!
An all around great book. Browsing through the index deciding what I want to highlight/tab for fast reference.... this books has a spread for every day! Little “this day in history” nuggets as well as a picture of the card for that day and additional meanings/information about the card. Great for seasoned readers to get a refreshing view and newbies to get better acquainted
