You know how each tarot card has so many different meanings? How do you choose which one to use? Wald and Ruth Ann Amberstone answer this question in their wonderful little book Tarot Tips (which happens to be on sale right now).   The Amberstones address the question "Surely the cards have either this meaning or that meaning," by quoting Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories, "Nay not so, but far otherwise!"
