A True Gift
This is the book on Tarot that I have been waiting for. It is the first book, of many that I have read, that makes the Tarot practical; that is, it presents the various Keys in such a way that one can immediately use them to positively impact your life. It is easy to read, inspiring, motivating, and totally engaging. In addition to explaining each Key, Amber includes personal examples from her life and from the lives of her students that clearly show how to put the perennial wisdom of the Tarot and the Qabalah to immediate use. There are many excellent books that deal with giving predictive type readings to oneself or others. This book is unique in that it uses divination to bring "the divinity present within each of us and all life situations to the fore." Here the Tarot is used, not only to bring wisdom and understanding to our daily experiences, but also to explore the questions that remain after all the affairs of daily life are put in order; such as, Who am I? What is the origin, substance, and goal of life? How do I use the Tarot to align myself with, experience, and reflect the Divine? This book is a gem, written by a person who deeply understands, and lives, the magic of the Tarot. It is at the top of my list of recommended books for people who are serious in their study of the Tarot.

At last ! A practical, reflexive approach to the Tarot. I've not found any other like this.
At last! A reflexive and practical approach to the Tarot! Between too many books about Tarot, almost all of them only with a predictive approach to this ancient wisdom, here comes an important tool for the serious wisdom seeker. I strongly recommend it to all esoteric students. For years I've been looking for a book that not only tell me about the meanings of each card, but that also guide me with reflexive questions to view the tarot wisdom in my own life and current circumstances. The added value of this book is the recommendations about how to integrate each arcane in you life. The personal experiences of the author and their students give you a clear idea of how to "live" the tarot. The Case's Tarot Deck, which is used as the images in this book, is an excellent deck. The incorporation of the Hebrew letters associated to each card is an asset of this book and the images inside it. I don't buy things like these if I'm not sure they are serious, but this book is different. I think I would buy some as gifts to some friends.

Pity it is not in Spanish !!!!!
