A structured guide to tarot interpretation

Joan Bunning organizes tarot study as a progression from foundational card meanings to more involved interpretation. The guide gives each card its own reference space, pairing an image from the Rider-Waite deck with descriptions, keywords, action phrases, and related or contrasting cards. It also lays out ways to read a single card, interpret pairs, and connect cards into a reading, alongside guidance on reversed cards and a range of spreads. The emphasis on lessons and reference material makes the book usable both as an introduction to tarot and as a resource to consult while developing a reading practice.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginners seeking a step-by-step introduction to tarot cards and spreads
  • Tarot readers who want a structured reference for card meanings and combinations
  • Readers interested in using tarot for personal guidance

Book overview

A complete beginner's course with step-by-step lessons on how to work with tarot cards for personal guidance.

Joan Bunning's "Learning the Tarot--An Online Course" has helped hundreds of thousands of people worldwide discover the personal value of the tarot. Drawing on the material offered in this popular online course and from her previous books, Joan has created a complete guide to tarot for beginners, which serves as a handy and in-depth resource for more experienced tarot card readers as well.

While there are countless books devoted to tarot, what sets Joan Bunning's book apart is her ability to take a rather complicated esoteric system and break it down into clear, manageable, and easy-to-learn lessons. These lessons cover the basics and then move gradually into more advanced concepts.

The book includes:

  • Lessons on how to consider one card by itself, how to look for card pairs, and how to create the "story" of a reading
  • Contains two pages of information for each card including a picture from the popular Rider Waite deck, a description, keywords, action phrases, and suggestions for cards with similar and opposite meanings
  • How to work with reversed cards to give tarot readings a natural flow of high points and low points without abrupt transitions
  • Practical insights on how to work with and interpret a wide variety of tarot spreads
