Customer Reviews

Gives clear direction on the cards

it discusses. Some of the cards are not in the book. Also, some of the descriptions are very short and vague. Some of the descriptions are excellent though. I asked about the outcome of a lawsuit one time and the card I pulled specifically was described as saying you would be successful in a lawsuit.

Hands Down Best Practical for Doing Readings.

I've probably bought 6 to 8 copies of this book. Very pointed in the predictive descriptions. Short, sweet and dead-on. This is a must have if you plan to develope your tarot reading skills. This is a tarot "cookbook" that works. Quite impressive in its accuracy.

My #1 Choice for Tarot Reading.

I have thirty to fourty books on the tarot. This is the book I seek out to give as a gift along with a deck of tarot cards. The meanings of the cards are crystal clear. I'd even recommend this book to more skilled reader. It even mentions miscarrage/abortion associated with one card. If you're just learning the tarot, this would be the first book I'd send your way. It will make a "believer" out of you very quickly.

Fortune Telling by Tarot Cards

When I first began reading tarot cards 25 yrs ago. One of my first books was this one by Sasha Fenton. I bought many, but her concise & clear writings made the information easy to remember. When learning to read cards, there is so much to remember, any simple techniques are an assess. My Book is so worn, & overly used it has fallen apart after 25 yrs. So, I'm ordering a new copy to last the next 25 yrs & would recommend it highly to anyone wanting to learn the art of divination. Julia from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

Worth it.

Fenton's books have been a great help to me where keyword readings have failed. With the interpretations she gives it became very easy for me to get beyond the 'is it really that?' stage and on to giving accurate readings for many years. I will constantly recommend her words to others ^^ well-written without being condescending or overly flamboyent and flowery. Great stuff!
