chongjasmine Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 What tarot books are you reading now? I am reading holistic tarot.
Trogon Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 What tarot books are you reading now? I am reading holistic tarot. I'm not actually "reading" any particular Tarot book. Though I have been hitting the first chapters of "Seventy-eight Degrees of Wisdom" by Rachel Pollack lately, as well as the write-ups of each card. I am currently using several books for study though; The afore mentioned "Seventy-eight Degrees ...", "Tarot Reversals" by Mary K. Greer, "The New Tarot Handbook" by Rachel Pollack, "The Complete Guide to the Tarot" by Eden Gray, and my own Tarot notebook (which I am slowly re-writing into a new notebook).
EmpyreanKnight Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Hey, you're reading Benebell Wen's Holistic Tarot. Great book isn't it? The fact that it's one of the very few Tarot books one can source locally here in my country speaks volumes about its popularity. And it's as thick as a juicy, delicious steak, and just about as delightful to consume. Currently reading Keywords for the Crowley Tarot by Hajo Banzhaf and Brigitte Theler.

Yes, I am enjoying it so far.
EmpyreanKnight Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 I'd be devouring the companion books for the Modern Spellcaster's and the Wild Unknown (once it's in my hands) this weekend. #hermitmode
EmpyreanKnight Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 The Secrets of the Tarot by Barbara Walker
Lantana Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 I’ve been reading She Is Sitting In The Night, a recently published companion book for the Thea’s Tarot that does a great job of re-invisioning the tarot in a queer lens. Hoping to get more tarot books since my wishlist has finally dwindled down.
EmpyreanKnight Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 The Tarot Revealed and Mastering The Tarot by Paul Fenton-Smith
EmpyreanKnight Posted November 26, 2017 Posted November 26, 2017 Once it reaches my hands this week, I shall devour A Renaissance Tarot by Brian Williams. Yum yum!
Page of Ghosts Posted November 26, 2017 Posted November 26, 2017 I'm reading Understanding the Tarot Court by Mary K Greer and Tom Little. The courts are a bit confusing to me so I hope this book will help. I'm also looking at which decks I own have good courts since there are some excercises I wanna try out. Sasuraibito and the Silicon Dawn comes to mind.
Ix Chel Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 I like the court cards assignment from Kelly Ann Maddox http://www.kelly-annmaddox.com/2014/10/60-quirky-court-card-questions.html?m=1 Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-I9060I met Tapatalk
Trogon Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 I'm still hunting around for it. I used to have a link to a web page that gave a great explanation of the Tarot Courts through little stories about how each of them would react to there being a dragon at the border of their respective Kingdoms. How the Pages would deliver the messages, how the Knights would react, what the Queens and Kings would do. It was pretty great! I wish I could find the bloody link! >:(

We could have a topic for each question. I have learned so much from this exercise. It makes the court cards comes alive to real personalities. Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-I9060I met Tapatalk

You found it!!! Thanks so much Ix Chel! That is indeed the page! I'd lost that link somehow, thanks for finding it for me! ;D
EmpyreanKnight Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 I'm deep into the companion book of the Sol Invictus: The God Tarot. Definitely one of the best I've ever read!
EmpyreanKnight Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Reading the Osho Zen Tarot companion book. The entries for each card are quite short, but they're surprisingly filling. The deck doesn't always follow the RWS system, so one must be open to new perspectives on this card when tackling it.
EmpyreanKnight Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Once I dedicate ot on Friday, I shall start reading the companion book for the deck I've dreamt of for quite some time - the Tarot of Shadows by Sklyarova. I'm glad I have it since English resources on the deck is scarce - almost all of the discussions on it online tend to be in Russian. Also, it seems like there are no textual differences between the books in the Classic (which I have) and Special editions, so I'm very happy. :)
tarottreat Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 I'm reading Understanding the Tarot Court by Mary K Greer and Tom Little. The courts are a bit confusing to me so I hope this book will help. I'm starting to read this book too, I'm really looking forward to it!
EmpyreanKnight Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot, Revised Edition by Lon Milo DuQuette
Hedera Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 Tarot Interactions, by Deborah Lipp. It was on my wishlist for years, before I finally bought it; I was a bit worried it would be very lightweight, but so far it's surprisingly good! Also dipping into 'Marseille Tarot' by Camelia Elias from time to time; not so much because I want to read the Marseille, but because I really like her way of just reading the images (which to me, seems different from reading intuitively - but that is a question for another place).
