A manual for the tarot card novice that shows how to set up the first tarot card layout and begin to give tarot readings This simple, step-by-step guide to beginning tarot readings contains diagrams of the card layouts and a discussion of all of the cards in the tarot deck. The book's method is to present a card-sized outline on each page in which the reader can place the appropriate card from his/her tarot deck. A general meaning is given, and the reader is invited to study each card and expand the associations with the cards in a personal way. Also included is an essay on some of the esoteric meanings of the minor arcana cards, which are the most challenging for a beginning tarot reader.
