The Art of Spreads and Tarot Card Interpretation - Sylvia Abraham

There is a great deal of information and speculation about the origins of Tarot, but no definitive answer as to where it came from. Many believe that Tarot was discovered in the fourteenth century, and there are all manner of stories to support that claim. But one thing is certain — tarot works! These cards have been used for centuries, and that alone is proof enough of their credibility. If you are a beginner, the more books you read about tarot, the more confident you will feel. Tarot cards are ideal objects for meditation, and by working with them in this way you will learn more about tarot than you will ever find in a book. In the pages that follow you will find a brief description of the upright and reversed meanings of each card. Some readers prefer to use cards in the upright position only. If that works for you — great! And if you wish to use the cards for divination, divide your deck into two halves, turn one half around, then mix and shuffle the cards together. If you trust them, the cards will work whether they are upright or reversed. Try out spreads and experiment with the "Magic Lottery" spread. Who knows — you might just win. Reading tarot cards is easy. Follow the instructions below for a successful reading. The book is structured on a question-and-answer basis and will serve as a substitute for tarot courses.
