Review: Very In-Depth - I'm new to reading Tarot. I started with Joan Bunning's Learning the Tarot, and while that book is fantastic for getting your toes wet, and remains a useful resource, it didn't offer enough depth for me. Rachel Pollack's Tarot Wisdom is exactly what I was looking for -- an in-depth look at each card, its history, and its meanings that I will be able to use for years. The thoroughness really helps me get a feel for each of the cards, and the more esoteric info about the Kabbalah, numerology, etc, will be useful as I gain more practice and familiarity with the cards. This is one of those books that you can read and re-read, and get something new with each reading. For each card, several different versions are shown: Visconti, Marseille, Rider, Golden Dawn Ritual, Egyptian, and Shining Tribe. The comparative approach is very useful as an accompaniment to the discussions of symbology, and helps to show how the cards and their meanings have progressed over time. Also useful are the lists of historical interpretations of the Major Arcana cards, and how those have differed from and/or influenced contemporary meanings. I also really enjoy the Wisdom Readings that are included throughout the book. Each of the Major Arcana has a reading, as well as one each for the Court Cards, Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. The Wisdom Readings help to reinforce the meanings of the cards, and what those cards signify to me personally. For example, a few of the questions from A Fool Reading are: How have I been a Fool in my life? Where in my life do I need to be more Foolish? Where do I find the Fool outside myself? One note: the book includes the author's personal experiences with and interpretations of the cards, as well as the more academic information. The personal anecdotes, while interesting, aren't for everyone. I would also have preferred not to have the inclusion and explanations of the author's Shining Tribe cards. However, these two drawbacks don't lessen the overall usefulness of the book. This book would not be suitable for a beginner who just wants an overview of Tarot, who wants to keep things simple at first and memorize a few keywords for each card. However, for a beginner who wants to immerse themselves in layers of meaning and symbolism for each card, this book is outstanding.
Review: The Tarot Bible - Rachel Pollack has been a fixture in the tarot community for almost thirty years, and ever since her best seller, 78 Degrees of Wisdom, she has been an international tarot authority, and for good reason. Her treatment of the tarot is extensive. I would venture to say she spends around 10 pages per trump. She delves a little into the history and development of the tarot, but only enough to enrich our current understanding of the symbolism. She deals with the historical devleopment of each trump insofar as its symbolism is concerned. She includes about 4-5 examples of each card at th beginning of her treatment and uses the Golden dawn Magickal tarot, her own Shining Tribe Tarot, the Rider-Waite Tarot, the Egyptian Tarot, and the Marseilles tarot. The strength of this book is the development of the IDEAS in the tarot. Rather than simply giving a list of meaning and associations, Mrs. Pollack explains the "why" behind everything and makes you relate your own life experiences to the energy and ideas of the cards in question. Another great aspect of this book is her inclusion of mythology to illustrate the major points in the tarot. Fallen angels, the rise of Zeus, Persephone's Journey into the Underworld and numerous other myths all serve to illustrate the timeless message of the tarot that mythology has echoed throughout the ages. Some meanings for divination are given, but her focus is on using the tarot as a tool to enhance your life and for self-development. It is one of the major armaments in the occultist's bag of tricks that is used to try and rend the veil and experience the oneness of the perennial philosophy. I can safely say that is you can only purchase one tarot book or you are looking to learn the tarot from just one source for now, this has to be the top recommendation. It has everything.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Couldn't put it down!
*by A***R on December 8, 2010*

This book was a lot of fun to read. My second book on Tarot, which I am happy I bought and read! The suggested Tarot readings at the end of each chapter are very revealing and I can assure your that your will learn more about your self from these exercises than from encyclopedias of recycled "self-help" books. It feels like a game, but at the same time the knowledge and information you are getting from the cards is so serious that you cannot avoid but respect and grow from its revealing messages. Rachel Pollack is probably one of the best writers on the occult and mystic subjects right now: she is enjoyable, informative, and above all writes in a way that you simply cannot stop reading. This is a book that is not only intended to be read from beginning to end, but it will also be very useful as a reference book. I foresee myself using this book for a long time, even rereading it more than once. A lot of the information, even though clearly explained, I didn't appreciate it on the first read. In other words, it is a deep book and with each reading you'll go deeper and broader into the knowledge and wisdom of the Tarot. I am glad this book introduced me to Rachel Pollack as a writer and to the wisdom and knowledge of the mighty Tarot.
