Description:

In this unique volume Toni reveals her secrets and shares her knowledge from over 20 years as a tarot reader. The System of Symbols has the full symbolic meaning of each tarot card, how to interpret each tarot card, including reversed tarot interpretations, true life examples and key words for easy use. There is also information on the use of numbers in tarot, part of the art which is often forgotten these days, and yet is vital to a true understanding of tarot. The System of Symbols is illustrated throughout with black and white images of Toni's own tarot designs. She also includes association of the cards to the Bach Flower Remedies.

I only had to read a couple of paragraphs of Toni Allen's amazing book to know that it was well worth buying. The Tarot is demystified and systematically explained from the basic fundamentals up. Don't forget every card is Infinite! So while she does ascribe different meaning for each Arcanum, with handy keywords for the beginner, the permutations readily become apparent. Two and three cards and used from real life examples to illustrate apllications but the real wisdom comes from the structure she spells out so plainly. I could go on for pages on the other many excellent comments and features she makes but short is sweet!

The book is an absolute joy and the first and hopefully the last you'd need to buy on The Royal Path. The ratings of a mere two thumbs, tellingly with no qualifying reviews, must surely be suspect. Browse the text if you doubt this tome's greatness!
A well written, well-educated work

Toni Allen obviously knows her stuff. Her handling of the subject matter is erudite and well-educated. The System of Symbols is an entertaining read. I enjoyed it a lot.

A good book for anyone wishing to study Tarot. Actually, the best book on Tarot I have seen since Crowley's The Book of Toth. Toni gives the history, depth and meaning to each card, and explains the interactions (often subtle) between the cards.
