I'm still learning tarot, I need a book/a guide to help me understand it. There a really cool shop in London that can help any tarot reader beginner. xx

From my humble start I found that there is not one book that can provide all the info. A combination of them and time spent on it. Best of luck with your journey!

Also Michelle Tea’s book of Tarot interpretations is wonderful and one of my favourites.

I have over 30 Tarot and oracle decks. Probably closer to 50 by now. I've been collecting for decades. I have used every one of them, but at this point, I'm using each one and deciding what to keep and what to let go of. I live my decks.

I was going to recommend Greer, if you hadn't mentioned her. She's been one of my mainstays.

Enjoy your Tarot journey!

Thank you so much for sharing Jennifer! I think, if you think about it, live could really also work very well. Yes, I also have Mary K Greer and dip and out of. Right now I am quite taken with Anthony Louis, but I am always open to recommendations.

A great book about Pamela Colman Smith ,the artist behind the Raider- Waite deck is called the Queen of Wands and is a graphic novel by Cat Willett. I highly recommended it. It’s so great that Pamela Colman Smith is finally getting the recognition she deserves.
