A must have book for all tarot Card lovers

Good

Good one!

Well structured book , definitely useful .

The paper quality is good. I haven't read the book yet but it took more than 2 weeks to get delivered. I was expecting hard cover at this price.

This is amazing...all one needs to develop a fair overview of Tarot!

A very good book i will recommend this book to everyone

Not for beginners

Un libro completo y serio sobre cada carta del tarot en una narrativa casi perfecta

This Book is a Must Have....I have been interrested in learning the cards for many years...even as a elementary school child I remember going into a little corner store gift shop and found this very generic tarot playing cards, they were very simplistic and fascinating..I gave made up readings to my mom LOL and funny she marveled at how accurate they were...but sadly they got lost in the shuffle with toy parts in the bottom of my toy box...Prior every book I would pick up I would casually glance through and put back down...maybe it overwhelmed me..I just didn't feel a connection or desire to study the book. I own angel cards, spanish playing cards ect ect but never committed to any...SO...I read Seventy Eight Degrees of Wisdom unbelievable on a spiritual level it spoke to me..honestly everyday it was hard for me to put down I had to read the next page, the next page...I began to have more of an awareness of how it all is connected, me, the cards, my actions, energy, the universe..it all came alive to me..and as I would read the description's of the cards they came alive to me..I thought oooh wow that is so me or yep I know a person like that..I just recently purchased my first riders deck per a friends recommendation..boy have I been so stubborn LOL actually the Radiant Rider Deck and I am so excited to receive them...This book was so spiritual so philasophical so deep..she really elaborated the meanings and gave other perspectives. I felt like I could see the card in my head with just the black and white pictures in the book.so half way thru I ordered my deck...but I already feel like I know most of them and anticipating the secrets they want to whisper to me...This is not a book u loan :) noo noo noo this is a "Bible" Tarot Bible..which I will be rereading again and again....A Must Have for the Tarot and Spiritual Development :).......If anyone could recommend any spiritual tarot books and books on symbols that are very deep and enlightening......Jenny

一ヶ月ほど前に、全文和訳完了しました。心理学的な洞察をもとにしたタロット解読本といってもいいかと思います。 メジャー・アルカナを7で分割するというのも面白かったし、スプレッドも類書にはないものがのっていて興味深かった。 このような本が翻訳・出版されるならば日本のタロット理解もワンランクアップするのではと思うのですが。英文は分かりやすいです。 魔術的なものとは違いますが、そうした傾向のものをお求めの方でも買いではないかと思います。『タロット・バイブル』という同じ著者の本も翻訳され出版されていますので、そちらを覗いて気に入ったらこれもいけると思う。タロット・リーダーならば読んで損はなしです。

I avoided this book for quite a long time because I had a feeling it would be one of those cases when everyone loves something - everyone compliments the king on his new apparel though they can't see it and are only afraid to sound stupid. Well, I was wrong. All the clichés I have read about this book are applicable: - It IS the best book on tarot I have read - My readings did reach another level - I did learn a lot about myself - It is the book you should read if you can only read one - I couldn't put this book down and finished it in record time. I actually felt sorry when it was over. I am not going into detais of the contents which many reviews have already addressed. Suffice it to say that I have read so many commonplace but well marketed books that added nothing. Rachel Pollack was a pleasure to read because she not only shares so much valuable knowledge; she uses language that is a joy to read and does not imply we are beginner readers as well as beginner tarot readers. She holds nothing back. Few books in my life have GIVEN me so much. Even if I give up tarot I will not regret reading 78 Degrees of wisdom.

This book is a classic for good reason. Even for more advanced tarot fanatics and/or readers, it's full of insights. The valuable intersection with history, psychology and symbolism is priceless. I use it as an inspirational guidance rather frequently. Totally recommend it
