Tarot for Change: Using the Cards for Self-Care, Acceptance and Growth

One of my favorite tarot books for self-care and personal reflection! The author draws on her professional background in psychology and social work, offering insights for each card in the deck. A wonderful companion for anyone seeking deeper self-understanding through tarot. Thanks for creating this book!

Aside from the Little Red Tarot's guide "All of Our Stories", I rank this as the best tarot guide I've come across. I love the artwork and the essay for each card that leads you into a mindset of self-care and positive change. You don't need a Rider Waite deck (the full-page card artwork covers that!) and I find the book works well with any deck available. For those who value tarot as a way to look inwards, there is nothing better available on Amazon.

I really like this book- her background in psychology and social work feeds into her unique exploration of the tarot. If you like using your tarot cards as a tool for introspection, this book is for you!

Great emotional education. A different prism through which life can be understood.

This book arrived in new condition however it is missing pages 53-86.

I love a Tarot book as it is always interesting to hear what other Taroists can bring to the table. Tarot for Change starts out promising, there are some fairly interesting insights into the Major Arcana. However, by the time it hits the Minor Arcana, it very quickly slips into essay form. The author sets out to prove their hypothesis by endless quotes from other sources, references to psychologists no one has ever heard of and endless acronyms for various psychological therapies, and yet none of them quite fit. The tone is didactic and academic which is odd because the tarot is an intuitive tool. Above all, it lacks heart, you almost feel the author is using the Tarot on which to hang their psychology thesis. The section on using the Tarot is short and I'm not really sure people need to be told how to shuffle cards. If you're looking for a Tarot book with heart and soul, choose one by Mary K. Greer, Rachel Pollack or Ellen Goldberg.Disappointing.
