The Most Complete Tarot Self-Study Guide – Vera Sklyarova

This self-study guide reveals the essence of tarology as an esoteric science and the art of shaping destiny through predictive practices. The book focuses on professional work with clients, locating missing persons, creating personal spreads for difficult life situations, and working with various systems and themed decks.
The book's defining feature is a new methodology for interpreting tarot card spreads, based on the analysis of past event narratives. The most famous detective stories of Agatha Christie — viewed through the lens of tarot archetypes — are used as case studies. For example, Murder on the Orient Express.

Primary attention is given to the practical application of tarot for client work and all existing systems for practising card reading. By reading this book, you will develop skills such as:

- the history of tarot cards

- the ability to work with the systems of Crowley, Waite, Etteilla, and Kabbalistic Tarot

- prophecy and numerology within tarot systems

- the connection between tarot and the Sephiroth

- esoteric spreads for time cycles

- spreads at an elemental level

- locating missing persons with tarot

- identifying thieves

- working with the significator

- a methodology for creating spreads through creative research exercises

- developing detective narratives using your own divination deck
