Customer Reviews

an outstanding tool for personal development
Tarot For Yourself is a very different sort of Tarot book. There are many, many books on Tarot available that will discuss the cards, their general meanings, and 'how to read' the cards or interpret their meanings, and these are fine if you want simply to read about Tarot. They do not get you personally involved.

This book will get you deeply involved virtually from the first page. It is a workbook in the truest sense of the word, starting you USING the Tarot Keys from the beginning, reflecting on their meaning and symbology, forcing you to meditate on the cards and what they mean to you personally. Although there are in fact guides to divinatory meanings for each card, the reader is encouraged to develop his/her intuition and psyche through regular, daily interaction with Tarot, not simply memorize meanings assigned to the cards by others. Through 250 pages of meditation, use in multiple formats, and ever deeper involvement, the Keys become a part of the psyche of the reader.

The Tarot is a unique tool of personal spiritual development, a set of western mandalas for meditation and psychic growth. Divination, the primary reason most people buy a Tarot deck, is a distinctly secondary use for the Keys. Proper, regular work with the Keys will expand the pscyhe and personality of the aspirant for beyond expectations.

Greer's book is among the very best tools available to the student in the form of a single volume to immerse the student in Tarot. Highly recommended.

I love this book!
I think this book is very helpful in helping me understand tarot better. I find her writing easy to understand and the exercises very useful! I highly recommend this book.

Only Book You'll Ever Need
This is it. All you need. If you are wondering what book to buy to truly understand Tarot, this is where to go. No more memorizing, instead delving into your imagination and personal intuition with a great guide.

I have heard people buying their first deck and then flipping through this perfect book for learning and whining "I don't like workbooks," and thinking "If you won't do the work to understand the cards, then just memorize the deck's booklet in that little box it came in and forget ever being talented as a reader."

She covers everything, and has more books for where you may be weak for later learning. This book you can work with for your whole career. As you get better as a reader, you find more depth in each exercise as you do it years later.

I teach Tarot and when the apprenticeship is over, I have the students buy this work to continue staying in an open, self-affirming space.
