How wonderful !

I love Megan's insight into the Ancient Tarot. The book is wonderful and packed with fabulous information. I love the modern spin of the "Divainations". Highly recommended read.

Megan Skinner"s book was fabulous and fun to read...

Megan Skinner's book was fabulous and fun to read. I enjoyed her insights into the modern interpretation and her client's experience of the tarot and its symbolism. I particularly enjoyed playing around with the astrology wheel spread using her interpretions to help me realize a multi-tiered esperience of both tarot and astrology. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in deepening their understanding of the major arcana cards and their impact in our daily life.

The Essence of Tarot

Having seen Megan Skinner as a client I was thrilled to read her new book. Megan's insight into the Tarot is truly unique and uplifting. Her writing expands the usual explanation of the Tarot leaving the reader with more insight.

Both Entertaining and Informational

I have tried to read several books regarding Psychics and the Tarot. While they have good information, I have found them difficult to read and quite boring. Ms. Skinner's book, however, was far from boring. The insight, history, and narrative text made it easy to read, comprehend, and enjoy. Since I've never seen anything by her before, I assume she is a first-time writer and must give her credit for a job well-done. I highly recommend this enjoyable read.

An enlightening guide to the tarot!

I found this book to be an amazing, easy to understand guide to the tarot. Too many books on the tarot are jumbled and difficult to comprehend. Megan Skinner's book is a great tool for any level of practitioner interested in this ancient art. Personally, I've been looking for a good tarot book for over two years and this is the first book I've found that is clearly written, interesting to read yet technically accurate, balances modern and ancient knowledge, and formatted beautifully. In addition, a friend of mine had an in-person reading from Ms. Skinner and remarked that she is truly gifted with a high level of integrity. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in the tarot.
