Tarot: A New Handbook for the Apprentice Elieen Connolly does the best series for beginners and professionals. This is the first book in the series and it has an easy to follow beginner interpretations and spreads. A great book and I would actually recommend the whole series. I have found her books to be extremely helpful to my learning of the Tarot. Tarot - A handbook for the Journeyman This is the 2nd book by Eileen. This is one of my most beloved and battered Tarot books. The spreads in here are for the intermediate Tarot reader and they are fantastic. This book is worth buying for the spreads alone. They are detailed and give great information. Tarot - The First Handbook for the Master Another great book by Elieen. Very helpful with great information. I think that she is going to do more Tarot books and I hope so as I love her stuff. Definately recommend this one! I hunted for it for ages and ages and it was worth the wait! The Tarot Guide to Love and Relationships You must buy this book. Seriously, it is the best book that I have dealing with questions of love in the Tarot. The interpretations are totally accurate and it lists every card in the Tarot when looking for meanings regarding love questions. It is easily one of my most used books and it's essential for the beginner. The interpretations are extremely helpful when learning how to read for love questions. Hell, I still use this book. It's great. How to Read the Tarot
I learnt to read with this Tarot book and I still think that it is very good. Easy to read and to follow. I had no trouble picking up the Tarot easily with her keyword system.
Same author as above. I have this book and many of the spreads are very useful and interesting. Even a Lotto spread...hehehe....But I know that you newbies like spreads and more spreads as this is what I was interested in when I was learning so I have even more spreads books below.
I think the title says it all with this one. lol. I wouldn't expect that there would be many spreads that you would need after getting this book.
This one looks pretty good as well. There were not many Tarot Spread books about when I was first learning, or at least not that I could find. This looks like another goodie to get you well on the way to reading the Tarot.
Yes, you can read the cards for yourself, as I have talked about in other sections of this site. But if you are still having trouble bringing up the right cards or still have hesitations about it, then maybe this book will help out.
I have this one floating about my house too. It's not bad as when I first started I wanted to know what a certain card next to another one means. Unfortunately, this book doesn't go anywhere near all the combinations that you might have that are significant, but you might find this book helpful anyway.
