Your Tarot Court: Read Any Deck With Confidence

Get to Know the Courtly People of the Tarot I have studied tarot for decades, and yet I am still intrigued by new tarot books that offer unique perspectives on aspects of it. Luckily, this is just such a book. I'll admit that my understanding and appreciation of the tarot court characters are not nearly as cultivated as it is for the major arcana, so when I saw this book, I thought it might be a great way to shade in some details. I was right. This book is a fantastic deep dive into all that the tarot court can mean. I liked how the author started broadly, looking at the relevance of the court characters to modern-day tarot readers before diving into associations with elements, astrology, and much more. As someone who is also interested in astrology, I particularly enjoyed those sections and that chapter. The author offered spreads and interpretations throughout, which also helped me further appreciate how to integrate the court cards better into my own readings and interpretations. I particularly like the spreads that were just about the court cards. What a better way to understand them! While this book is certainly meant to be a reference, I actually thought it was great to read straight through, but I can be a bit of a tarot nerd when it comes to books. The author's style is easy and conversational, which is always appreciated in what could be a complex topic, like the many faces of the tarot court. I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
