What are the best books on Tarot in your opinion ?

For me the best by far is Learning the Tarot by Joan Bunning

What are your favourites and why ?

Hi,

The best book to use, is "the pictorial key to the tarot" of AE Waite. He was the sculptors, or rather one of them. You can download it as a free pdf.

Most newer decks are based on the RW, so why try to understand wickety and wackety? Many authors, many theories, many confusions.

Stick to the original.

Blessed be.

Dear Lotus_blossom,
 I would be very careful about over dependence on any one book.
Every author brings their own perceptual bias to their interpretation.
I found 2 approaches very helpful.Check out  several interpretations
and look for shared meaning.Secondly,put all your books away and
simply look at the picture of the card and ask yourself"what do I see?".
You might find your conclusion is that most of the authors indicate they
are making unsound conclusions,not based on the card itself.Good luck.
                                                   Fare-well,Steve

is there a book which is centered on the tarot nova card? most of the books i see are centered on only one deck. thanks, just wanted to have a book specifically with my deck's illustrations

Hi,

I don'tthink you will find a book specifically focused on your deck, other than the author's.

Other books are based on the RW, simply because it is the most recognised influence today.
