Tarot has a certain charm that brings people to it. "Tarot: From Novice to Pro in One Book" is Colette Browns guide to the ways of the tarot. Explaining the concepts and ideas behind the practice, understanding the information before you, advocating how to understand the process and the spirituality behind it. For followers of metaphysical philosophy, "Tarot" is a key guide to understanding the processes of the cards.
~ Carl Logan, Midwest Book ReviewAs an experienced Tarot reader it didn't take long for me to discover that this is an excellent book. In ‘Tarot: From Novice to Pro in One Book’, Colette Brown makes more sense in her introduction than other books do in ten chapters. She begins by advising the novice to use one of the traditional decks as a starting point but once you have mastered the technique of reading the cards, then let your Tarot deck chose you ... “ You may be attracted to a deck that more suits your spiritual outlook, culture or aesthetic. Once a deck truly speaks to you intuitively, you will feel completely at home with the tarot.” This is a very important point, and one that members of my group argue about all the time – no one can recommend a particular deck to you because if you’re not on the same wavelength, the intuitive images needed for successful Tarot reading, will not come through. As someone who never moves without consulting the Tarot, I found Colette Brown’s approach to reading the cards refreshingly simple and would have no hesitation in recommending her book to new members of my group. The exercises included in the book are simple and straightforward, without any hidden esoteric meaning – that comes later. I particularly liked her admission ... “I personally do not read reversed cards as negative or the opposite of its traditional meaning as I feel that the deck is perfectly balanced as it is. Instead, I ask the reader to “feel” whether the card is exerting its positive or negative influence on the situation under investigation. These “feelings” only come after plenty of practice and a good understanding of the various combinations of cards found within the spread. It also requires a degree of confidence and self-belief.” I second that! Melusine Draco : Author of The Hollow Tree ~ Melusine Draco, Amazon (2), B&N, Waterstones, Goodreads
