Books for Everyone
<
One of my favorite times of the year: gift-giving season. Here are some book suggestions in various categories. I hope you find something for your friends or for yourself if you’ve been very good!
Beginners
For the tarot curious, this little book is like a sampler box of chocolates. It is a great way to see a lot of different decks and enjoy some bite-sized information about tarot.
Llewellyn’s Little Book of Tarot
If your beginner is a calendar lover, Llewellyn’s 2024 Tarot Calendar would do the same thing, but with a larger format and less information.
Interacting with the Cards
The Tarot Apothecary by Ailynn Halvorson gives us an excuse to play with our cards and our aromatherapy oils! Simple yet powerful rituals and activities to awaken your inner whatever you want!
Your Tarot Toolkit by Ru-Lee Story is the perfect book for someone who would love to play with their cards daily…or just dip into some tarot-centric activities from time to time.
Tarot by the Moon by Victoria Constantino gives us a monthly selection of activities to work with each month’s lunar energy. Tarot cards and full moons just go together!
Different Approaches to Card Meanings
The Living Tarot by T. Susan Chang is a wonderful system of developing a deeply personal connection with the cards but in practical ways so that your readings become more useful as well as more accurate.
Tarot for Real Life by Jack Chanek brings a very practical approach to the cards. Very real life, very practical, very easy to understand. For those who want readings with advice for improving daily life.
Tarot in Love by Elliot Adam is the perfect book for those who do a lot of relationship readings (romantic and platonic). It is an amazing work with equal emphasis given to upright and reversed cards, a rare thing.
Reading for Others
Will You Give Me a Reading by Jenna Matlin is written for everyone who loves tarot but is shy about giving readings to others. Her down-to-earth advice will alleviate fear and instill confidence.
