Surpassed my eager expectations November 5, 2008 6 out of 9 found this review helpful
I have been looking forward to Rachel's book from first hearing about it. I was fortunate enough to participate in a few of her intensive workshops and have been waiting for the book to fill me in on the ones that I missed.
Her book is surpassing my high expectations and captures both her wit and wisdom. Rachel creates a personal and intimate connection to the Tarot for the reader. She mixes in detailed knowledge and insight. It is a very impressive book and useful resource for anyone interested in Tarot.
Adding a little more to review: Rachel has created a very helpful recursive technique to explore cards (and new decks) and teaches it quite well in her new book. Basic idea is to consider thematic elements of a particular card, or suit, or symbolism, or deck, or other characteristic and draft some good questions around them. Once the questions are created you do a reading on them. The results can be surprising and very often add a lot of insight. In workshops we did this with some rather challenging decks with good results. In Tarot Wisdom, Rachel explores each card from various resources and then completes the exploration with some very effective exploratory readings.
