Why read it?

This was the first book that ever taught people not only how to read for themselves, but also how to use the cards to attain personal insight. It will teach you how to develop a deep relationship with the cards, and it shows you how to use the cards for greater self-knowledge. Every book on this subject since has Mary K. Greer to thank. When I first came across it, it changed the way I read forever. And it gave me new tools to use the cards for my own.

Tarot for Your Self is a classic that has stuck around because it’s such a great resource. Like Holistic Tarot, this book focuses on using the Tarot for personal growth. But Greer offers some unique methods beyond just Tarot spreads: from mandalas to meditations to rituals and guided visualizations, even charts, and diagrams for those who understand better through visual aids. Though the results are powerful, the methods are enjoyable, even playful, which is sometimes the motivation we need to do that all-important personal work – and is anything but intimidating.

From Laura's list on to make Tarot seem less intimidating.
