Product Description

For over twenty years, The Complete Book of Tarot has been one of the most popular and most used guides for the art of reading and understanding the tarot. Now, for the first time, Juliet Sharman-Burke has revised and expanded the original text, and the book has been reillustrated throughout with the Sharman-Caselli tarot.  The resultant book, The New Complete Book of Tarot, will guide a new generation through the cards to a working knowledge of the history, the meaning, and the use of the tarot.
Written by trained therapist and expert tarot teacher Juliet Sharman-Burke, The New Complete Book of Tarot takes the reader through the cards, uncovering clues to the historical, mystical, and psychological spirit of this ancient system of revealing past, present and future. Whether the reader wants to interpret the cards for others or use them to gain a deeper understanding of their own self, they will find The New Complete Book of Tarot both instructive and inspiring.

Good Tarot Guidebook5
This is a very helpful step-by-step guide to reading the Tarot for beginners. This book is illustrated with cards from The Sharman-Caselli Tarot Deck, and is an ideal companion to that deck. This book was also sold as part of a kit, The Complete Tarot Pack.

The book starts with an introduction, a brief history of Tarot, and how it works. It is further divided into four Parts. Part 1 to 3 consists of a study and description of the tarot cards. Each part include a subset of Major and Minor Arcana. Major arcana are given 2 or three pages, including a full image of the card, while minor arcanas are given half a page each. Each symbol on the cards are explored, and the meaning of the card is explained. I found that this way of studying the cards makes it easier for me to decipher their meaning in the future on my own.

Part 4 includes a brief explanation on how to read the cards and four layouts: The Five-cards Horshoe, The Celtic Cross, The Star Spread and the Three of Life. These are explained with an example spread. The example are helpful, but I would have loved a more detailed explanation of these layouts.
