Anyone can learn the basic figures on a deck of Tarot cards, but to become a truly skilled Tarot Reader, one must go beyond mere symbols to recognize the deeper stories the cards are telling. This generously illustrated guide will help you gain confidence and enjoy a greatly increased understanding of the Tarot deck. Chapter by chapter, you'll build skills and put that newfound knowledge to work through an assortment of practice readings, intriguing exercises and even games. With the expert advice and proven techniques included here, you'll quickly begin to understand how each of the Major and Minor Arcana interact, when and why to use focused spreads, and why the Court Cards can be especially tough to interpret. And for more serious students, there's even a chapter on becoming a professional Tarot Reader.
Once you've passed the stage where you have a keyword or two for each card, you'll want this book. I was glad to see this back in print because I felt that it helped me tremendously in learning to create a story out of a reading and not just a bunch of cards. She offers advice on working without defined spread positions, on assigning cards to the events in a story as well as creating a story from the cards you have.
Super Tarot: How to Link the Cards to Reveal Your Future

Initially, I have doubts on purchasing this book as i failed to find the previous edition: Super Tarot - New techniques to improve your reading. My guts feeling told me that both are the same book but of different publishers/ edition and thus I called my nearest bookshop and they confirmed with me on that. There are examples given with the author interpretation version to help training and understanding reading techniques. The author really makes it very easy on how to overcome some difficulties one to narrate the cards together in meaningful flow by grouping, looking out for clues/signs and some important pointers. I even tested on my peers using just the Major Arcana method taught by the author. I asked them via SMS on mobile phone. Out of 15 readings I have given, 5 said very accurate; 4 said quite true; 3 claimed they don't know yet and the rest said not very correct. Most importantly, I do feel that my reading skill has improved tremendously. I must say that a lot of practices still count and experiences (and with the intuition) will tell how to interpret the card meaning given in the book. Currently, I'm trying to use the whole pack to fine-tune my reading skill with court cards and Minor Arcana. It takes patience too and some willing guinea pigs to perfect the art. The book opens to me that there are spreads available to suit what type of readings. Besides, there are many advices and suggestions from the author on how to tackle from. Thus, I strongly recommended this book to any tarot novices who have difficulties connecting each cards meaningfully and/or those who wish to fine-tune their reading skills.
