This is a book of divination principles and practices (including basic and advanced techniques, tactics, strategies and resources) for the tarot reader who intends to work publicly with the Waite-Smith deck or one of its numerous “clones.” Although it presents certain introductory topics, it isn't a “beginner's” book but rather one for those with some prior exposure to the metaphysical ideas behind the cards who want to apply that knowledge to the art of professional tarot reading. Like the author's previous books, it is a compilation of essays written over the last five years. It spans 109 lightly-illustrated pages and over 55,000 words. The following subject areas are covered at length: The Art of Tarot Reading; The Client Interface; Reading Techniques; Spread Considerations; The Waite-Smith Tarot; Yes-or-No Questions; Reversals and Tarot Timing.
