In this enlightening, easy-to-use book, author E. W. Neville helps you understand your love relationships through the timeless and beautiful medium of Tarot. He interprets the Major and Minor Arcana with wit and humor, comparing the cards to "familiar people" so that they are alive and memorable. Neville also examines the suits, the Court cards, numbers, and the positions of the cards in the spread - all within the context of relationship issues.
This book starts with a good general introduction to tarot, with a bias toward the Rider-Waite deck, which makes it a good book for beginners.It continues with the author's own variation on the celtic cross - most authors do that, but I wish they would either invent original relationships spreads or at least not invent new variations of the same spread,The book then continues, unsurprisingly, to give the meaning of each card in each position and when being reverse or straight.The meanings are good, though not original or exceptionaly good. I wish the author would at least explain the system by which s/he arrived at those meanings - it would make memorization that much easier.All in all, I think it fairs well in it's area and delivers what one would expect from the title, but would recommend it only to beginners.
