Reviews with the most likes.
Faithful to its title. I really liked the introduction and how the author emphasized doing what feels most natural to you. I also appreciate that she put effort into explaining reversals. Yes, sometimes they are just the opposite, but often they carry a deeper message.
One gripe I have with this book is that Cups get 3X more info than the other minor arcana. This implies that the author could have written a lot more about all of them but for some reason just focused on Cups.
I've listened to the audiobook version on Scribd so I don't exactly have it in front of me to draw notes and analyse. Though I'd like to do just that, so I might buy a physical copy.
I'd also like to read the other book by this author, called: Reading the Tarot - the Ultimate Guide to the Rider Waite Tarot Cards
