I thought it would be useful to have a thread for reference of our fave books we used as beginners. For Tarot or any related books. This can be a list which helps other members of the forum in future. We have a thread already of the best tarot books by google ranked recommendations here and we have a sister thread of best books generally (not just for beginners) here What books would you personally recommend to beginners starting out? What books really helped you as you started out? What were your essential books that you keep as a reference? What books really changed your mind on something divination related or gave you a light bulb…

I thought it was interesting that in the newly released seasons of Orange is the new Black and GLOW, that the main characters in each show have an episode where they get a tarot reading.

What Tarot / Divination book are you currently reading through or studying? This is a sister thread to the what non-tarot book are you currently reading? thread here (this is a subscribers area of the forum) I thought it would be good to have an ongoing thread for people to update their current tarot related reading. Books / Ebooks / Audio books have to be on tarot / divination themes 🙂

Hello, you have probably seen videos where just the card(s) and the reader's hand appears in the video. How is this done? Smart phone with a tripod? I would very much appreciate advice as to what set up I need to be able to do these kind of simple video readings. Thank you! Juna

For me, it is The Ultimate Guide to Tarot Card Meanings by briget.

I have just bought these two books and now I'm wondering if you know about other authors that write about tarot in their novels? https://daisywaugh.com/e-v-harte/

Hi, what do people here think of the TTRPGs/solo RPGs that employ tarot cards? I recently played Anamnesis (a journaling game found on itch.io) and enjoyed how tarot cards were integrated into the gameplay. The author included two ways to interpret the cards (which are used to generate writing prompts/events) which I found to be a fun way to study card meanings on a more regular basis. You can use the traditional meanings, or interpret the card's design/imagery and name as you wish. look This led me to look for more games with similar mechanics, such as Princess With a Cursed Sword. A look into itch.io's Tarot tag under Physical Games shows that th…

Hi guys! I saw this article in the Washington Post and thought you may be interested: https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2021/12/10/tarot-cards-pandemic-trend/?fb_news_token=lC72N7bEDuA%2FngewV nPcA%3D%3D.w1T49UfX6iZuN5E8lxlbI01nQyoMxw53RgkI 6DQwwEkMcYbTNffNa0mIw2kJ3jVlyQs2U56GandS5e5 R9KO7VS26WzdP45zCr1Fy1u0ug79KVZS30pQYUhhX9eoIofKBFKmpg%2FyM6Rr3HO1qWOTKjYhhmKI SFKp2m5YSWicsnKJdeFnMG12XidBckQJTxX%2FYM5tULb73SgxtzhI6c4p6TeHhwHHpebOjt941eoWIsikTGxK6xeEPrICrvyC4%2FTaRmfKnNSvUMsWbKgoZeCu2jL5LDTi9YXrIGt7snPzRH1mu6qvaDKG5ivXTjQBVsujMhgQ01fabMS4UJZ3%2F5vw%3D%3D&fbclid=IwAR0IV5f_GJCjnWzzpj0yRcf9E08_ASdbQdZjmEoWegdt6nCWMqInTg23VXk Holy Smokes, is…

A new Tarot horror movie has been made 😱 Originally called Horoscope, based on a book called Horoscope (which surely would be more Astrology based), it's been renamed "Tarot". The synopsis.... When a group of friends recklessly violates the sacred rule of Tarot readings – never use someone else’s deck – they unknowingly unleash an unspeakable evil trapped within the cursed cards. One by one, they come face to face with fate and end up in a race against death to escape the future foretold in their readings. It's a teen horror movie about young people "messing" around with cards. Of course the movie poster has the Death card in it! Let…

Hi, everyone. I am glad to have discovered the forum, and to have become a participant. The Navajo had a saying that whenever one comes to visit, it is a good habit to bring something with oneself, be it even something as simple a smile. Therefore, I thought that for my first post here, I would bring something, and I would make it a subject that seems to have interested quite a few collectors of Tarot in the past - the HBO's series "Carnivàle". Those who remember it no doubt recall the importance of Tarot, and the unforgettable opening of the show, with its mysterious, painted deck that turned into living panoramas. There have been many discussions…

Hope this is okay here, not sure where else to put this thread. Do any of you use cards and an app? When I first started I mainly used an app while I looked for the right deck for me. It felt about 75% spot on for daily readings, 95% for relationship spreads. Now that I have a physical deck I'm beginning to use it for daily readings too and I'm finding that often my physical readings directly contradict my digital. For example, today my cards gave me 9 of pentacles (woo!). My app gave me 8 of wands reversed (boo!). I'm choosing to walk forward believing my physical deck as I feel that 1) it's likely more accurate as I am able to put more of my energy into it without …

Hello, i remember seeing a Tarot deck with many famous celebrities like Madonna and Prince on some cards, i can't remember the name of it now but i'm guessing there have been so many. I recently bought the David Bowie Tarot deck which was fascinating and there was some Star wars Tarot images lurking around somewhere online. Are there any more celebrity decks that can been seen anywhere.

Hey all! I am a book worm of sorts. I am looking for high quality informative books about Tarot that you find are useful for an intermediate/ high level Tarot practitioner. It has to have an E book version ( I can't or rather don't want to wait one month till the book arrives+ its cheaper) I have just finished reading Tarot Beyond the Basics by Anthony Louis and I found it very interesting and informative. Other books that I own include: Tarot Spreads and Layouts by Barbara Moore Tarot Plain and Simple my Anthony Louis Robin Wood Tarot - the book ( since for now this is my go to deck) 21 Ways to Read a Tarot Card by Mary.k Greer The Complete Book …

What tarot books are you reading now? I am reading holistic tarot.

Hello all! I am curious as to whether anyone listens to any tarot podcasts and/or can recommend any? I have a lengthy-ish commute and podcasts work well for me so was wondering whether this might be a way of maximising my available tarot time! :)

I happened across a video on YouTube by Angali Shakti, a Hindu, who used to be a student in CBR's oracle school. She's very upset about this deck because she believes that: 1. CBR basically took information from Angali about the goddess Kali during a private reading with CBR that she'd received as a prize (plagiarism on a soul level, and the betrayal of a student by a teacher); 2. the goddess Kali has been completely stripped of all her symbolism and meaning and power (as has Parvati, I think she says later on); 3. this disrespect of the Hindu goddess is offensive to Hindus; 4. this distorted reconstruction gives a very unhealthy message to women, of any colou…

I was lucky enough to be able to visit the Tokyo Tarot Museum at the end of November last year. It was a really wonderful little place that takes Tarot quite seriously. And, as someone who speaks almost no Japanese (and reads even less), I still felt very welcome. The museum is quite small, and is more of a shop with a cover fee (currently about ￥800 for a 90 minute visit). It is small-ish, about the size of an apartment, with seating areas, decks on display for sale, and displays of Tarot artifacts. There is also a small library of books and decks you can use while you are there (all in Japanese). When you check in you are asked to pick a card that you get to…

In this latest episode of Spread This Witches, two of the most celebrated and knowledgeable authors on Tarot are being interviewed. Its a 2 hour video that is available on youtube: I hold these two women in such high regards, they have helped shape me as the tarot reader I am. So I am super excited to be able to watch this interview <3 I will have to watch this in segments so I won't make any comments after I have properly assimilated the whole thing. But please feel free to add your thoughts on it!

Do you know any good resources for finding images for entire decks? Now that I no longer have a scanner, this would be so helpful. Tarot.com does have some complete decks reproduced. I can find some individual card images on Pinterest.com or by Google searches. Thank you.

I found these collections on Google Plus whilst searching for something else. Not sure how 'legal' it is to post such pictures but I found it fascinating to look at some decks unknown to me till now. https://get.google.com/albumarchive/112868448452435024861 I was looking for Dana Driscoll's email address when these came up in the query answer. Shavini, you might find your 'mystery' tarot here.
