The Ultimate Guide to Tarot Card Meanings

Absolutely love this book. I really resonated with the card interpretations that are in this book. My belief is that there are no "bad" cards, every card serves a positive intention and help us in some way. This book reflects that belief as well. Interpretations are empowering, eye opening and helpful. Inside is black and white pictures for each card with Keywords, Quotes, Descriptions, Upright and Reversed card meanings. Also, General meaning, meaning focused on the Career, Work and Finances, Personality Types, Relationship and Love, Spirituality, Well-being and Health. It contains the Journaling prompts for each card that help to reflect on the cards and understand their meanings at much deeper level. It also has some Suggested 2 card combinations to show how energy of this card could be blended together with energy of other cards. Besides tarot meanings it also contains a quick numerology guide, Reversed cards interpretation ideas and a chapter on how to read tarot for yourself. Before having a physical book, I had a PDF version, but wanted to have a physical book so I can use it as a reference. It is very good as a reference book. I also keep adding there my own meanings and keywords about each of the cards. Thank you, Bridget for this useful tool that supports me in my tarot journey! 💜

This book is much bigger and more comprehensive than I thought it would be. Yet it is also very user friendly, simple and easy to use. The author has explained the card so that we can better understand why and how it can be interpreted the way it has been, which really helps with understanding and recall. Then she goes on to expand on each and every card to cover what is could mean if pulled for career, personality type, love, spirituality, health and in general. There are also meanings for reversed cards and possible combinations eg: the page of cups coupled (excuse the pun!) with the Empress could mean a pregnancy. I have dabbled with the tarot for 20 years but never actually learned it as my memory for straight memorization is dreadful. Yet this books helps you to understand, not just memorize and that's a big difference. Finally I can see a day when I won't need to look up the meanings but in the meantime this book has everything I need to both learn the tarot, understand it and do a good reading. I have got the 3rd edition and the quality of the book itself is absolutely fine. I would definitely recommend it for all budding tarot readers.

I have the 2017 edition of this book (hence the different cover) and I have to say it's a brilliant guide to tarot cards and their meanings. This book gives any reader, amateur or professional, great insight and a strong foundation into how each card can be read, without confining the subjective art to constraints of right or wrong. Every card is listed, with often a five page spread detailing General meaning, Career, Personality types, Relationships, Spiritality, Health and key card combinations. It also includes one page for each on reverse meaning. Clearly organised by Arcana and suits, it's a hands reference guide perfect for studying intently or dipping into when you feel the need. As well as this, the binding is of good, firm construction, without being too hefty. Definitely a recommended product!

I’ve been searching around for ages to find a decent tarot book that’s in-depth, easy to read. Well I’ve finally found it with this book ! It covers everything you need to know. I’ve attached some photos so you can see how in-depth it is per card.

I was reluctant to purchase this book for quite a while due to the high price tag compared to other books available on the subject. Plus I'd read other reviews saying the print quality was poor which put me off. However, I decided after many months to go ahead with the purchase and I'm really pleased I did. This is a MASSIVE book - more of a textbook than anything. I have absolutely no issue with the print quality at all and based on the sheer amount of information this book provides it is worth the money. Plus this book has such unique information e.g. quotes, possible card combinations and meanings for different types of reading such as health, career, relationship etc. for each card. I'd highly recommend it for tarot enthusiasts!

This is a large book, it’s heavy and packed full of information. As others have said it’s slightly let down by the lack of colour in the illustrations of the cards. The colouring is a vague grey colour, I think I’ve been somewhat lucky in that the print in my book was dark enough to read easily, others have not been so lucky. Whilst it’s very informative and extremely useful, don’t assume it’s everything you need to know. I own 13 or 14 books now and I have gotten something new or a different perspective from all of them even if it’s a little idea or opinion. It’s worth having but it’s not the bible of tarot.

If you want to learn tarot, buy this book! It has multiple pages worth of information about each of the 78 tarot cards. Only down side is there is no information on tarot speads so if that's the information you're looking for then this isn't the book for you. Other than that, this book is fantastic!

I wish I'd purchased this book before the many tarot books I've purchased over the years. I used to use the biddy tarot site when I didn't quite understand the cards and having the descriptions in a book form is perfect for me. I much prefer a book to a website. I use this book every day as part of my daily practice. I feel like I'm finally learning the meanings of the cards. I enjoy that the reverse meanings have more information than most books I've read before. I highly recommend this boom if you're trying to improve your understanding of the tarot.
