The author of this book doesn't just give meanings for the cards here. This book is a full-on course in Tarot, including the history, philosophy, and application of tarot readings. In addition to thoroughly exploring the symbolism and various interpretations of the various tarot cards, the author teaches about the cards using meaningful and philosophically relevant themes, based on symbolism that can connect the abstract narrative of the Tarot with the concrete narrative of the human experience. The book then expounds on this by encouraging the reader to connect the ideas present in each of these things with their own lives and experiences, thus making the abstract ideas in the card symbology directly relatable to almost anybody. It is well-written (though I did spot a couple typos), and engaging for the reader as well. It is a "course", essentially a textbook, but it manages to be a very entertaining book to read as well.

This book is a must read for anyone interested in learning everything necessary to interpret the meaning of both the cards and the various spreads used with them. I also own the print edition of this book as well as both the digital and boxed set of the Tarot Illuminati cards.
