Discover the easiest way to learn Tarot. With the simple system outlined in this book, you can start reading the cards immediately--even if you've never touched a Tarot deck before! Most introductory Tarot books contain long lists of keywords for each of the seventy-eight cards in a deck. The key to this unique system is the Tarot sentence. A card's complex significance boils down to three elements: identity, action, and direction. These elements are matched with a noun, verb, and adverb to form a simple sentence and give you the succinct meaning for any given card. You'll learn how to interpret the collective meanings of three-card sets within a variety of spreads designed to answer any question. A quick-reference table that includes reversed meanings saves you the trouble of flipping through the book while you're in the middle of a reading. Flexible, fast, and fun, this foolproof method can be applied to any Tarot deck. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Not all the flaws in this book are necessarily Tyson's fault. When I first saw this book, years ago, I thought it was weirdly gloomy and that the sentences sometimes didn't match the cards. Reading it now, with more personal experience of the Tarot, I see that Tyson based his sentences on Aleister Crowley's Thoth deck. However, the book is illustrated with the Universal Tarot, a Rider-Waite-Smith clone. This leads to obvious discrepancies, like the sentence that reads "The stern girl/child applying the force of reason manages the controversial affair to its conclusion with practicality overcoming all obstacles to attainment." I'm guessing that Tyson wrote this sentence for the Thoth deck's Princess of Swords card. However, it's illustrated with the Universal Tarot's Knave of Swords, a strapping young man possibly as old as his early 20s. But when the English language is twisted into knots to accommodate Tyson's noun-verb-adverb format, do I blame him or his editor (Two of Pentacles reversed: "Alternative causing a downturn of circumstance troubles through uncertainty over the correct action with instability transforming gain into loss.")?
Basically, this book just didn't seem worth the effort to work through. If all you want are quickie readings, you can probably find a website that offers them, not buy a 254-page book. If you want to learn the Tarot in depth, this will barely get you started. Perhaps it'd be useful if you wanted some keywords for the Thoth deck, but that's about it, I'm afraid. ( )
