The Tarot Companion: A Portable Guide to Reading the Cards for Yourself and Others Hardcover – April 2, 2018

The media could not be loaded. This book is a perfect guide for tarot. It’s a great size. Not too big not too small. It has bright full page images for every card. The meanings are on the adjacent page and make it easy to analyze, understand, and memorize. The book has an introductory chapter and card layouts to further help understand and use tarot card effectively. This book would make an amazing gift for anyone interested in the art of tarot.

If you’re a beginner like me and you have to look up every card still this saves some time and helps me remember

I bought this because I wanted to have a guide on my readings and fully understand the symbolism behind each card on the tarot. Now it is a good book because you can have the meanings of each card, they are informative in the sense that instead of giving you one whole page about a vague explanation of the card it goes into each aspect of the reading relationship, financial and such. It gives you on the bottom of each picture whether they belong on the major arcana or in the minor arcana. In the beginning, they give you some quick reading layouts for you to try and give a brief tip on how to care for your card and how to store them. All in all, whether someone is doing readings or just simply curious about the meanings of the cards then this book is worth the buy.

I’ve had this book for a long time and it is very informative if you are a first time tarot reader.

I've had this book for about a year and I love it. It's an awesome beginner book. I like that it's hardcover and in color. The pages are glossy so it's held up well through consistent use.It includes meanings for reversals, key words and what the card means for different kinds of questions e.g. love, career, finances...etc. And, it's easy to read.I would definitely recommend this book to anyone thinking about learning the Waite- Smith tarot.

This book makes it really easy to understand and interpret the meaning of the various cards in a tarot deck.

I’m new to tarot and this book has been my go-to when doing readings. Would definitely recommend. It also looks amazing on my alter!

This book is amazing! It's description of each card is very clear and easy to decipher and connect with. I would definitely recommend if you are just starting your tarot journey, as sometimes the book that comes with your deck can be confusing. This book also gives you insight on connecting with a new deck and different spreads to start out with. Wish I would have bought this a long time ago

If you are looking for a very deep or expert level book this isn’t the one. But it’s a great beginners guidebook for use with the classic tarot deck if you are starting. A simple yet all round reference text for basic spreads, process, preparing a deck etc. and one beautiful spread for each card with colourful illustration of each card and high level summary of upright and flipped meaning. Highly recommend. It’s all you need to get started with confidence, and is not much bigger than the deck for easy carrying. It also looks great to, with traditional hard cover and simple vintage style cover design. Even if i end up buying more in depth books this one will stay as my travel reference whenever I take my deck with me.

I bought this book specifically because of the page layouts!! The pictures show some spreads at the top with some simplified card meanings at the bottom, however, this is not the case!! The book is ONLY card meanings from start to finish, with only 4 spreads in total at the start!! This woman is actually using someone ELSE'S photos to try and bait people into buying her book!! Do NOT fall for it!!

If you have another of Liz Dean's books (The Ultimate Guide to Tarot), this book is the same material, only not so much of it. It is a lovely little travel companion and refresher though. The content is trustworthy and easy to follow, even for beginners!

Ottimo e conciso breviario sulla lettura dei tarocchi Waite/Smith. La scrittrice ti permette subito di entrare in confidenza con la lettura delle carte. È utile anche per chi legge considerando le carte rovesciate. Ovviamente per approfondire l'argomento consiglio la lettura del Manuale completo, sempre della stessa autrice.

My son is just getting into magic and tarot and this is the perfect starter book.
