The Ultimate Guide to Tarot Spreads: Reveal the Answer to Every Question about Work, Home, Fortune, and Love (Volume 2) Paperback – March 1, 2016

The first tarot book I bought was The Ultimate Guide to Tarot by Liz Dean. It's so thorough and detailed and is my #1 reference book. Now that I'm more comfortable with the card meanings, I wanted to learn how to do card layouts (spreads) to interpret the cards when asking various questions. While scrolling through the options on Amazon, I saw that Liz Dean had a specific book on spreads. Easy choice! There are layouts for categories like Love & Romance, Health & Healing, Money & Home, Spiritual Development, Creativity, etc. There are also detailed sections on choosing and connecting with your deck, shuffling, creating sacred space for readings, and so much more. There are color pictures of the cards throughout (of the classic Rider Waite Smith deck), sample reading examples, and helpful definitions and cheat sheets. Overall an excellent book on how to ask questions and get answers from your cards, whether reading for yourself or others.

A rare book, in that it includes “timing” as an aspect of reading Tarot spreads. That, in itself, was reason enough to buy. Added to this, were the many other areas not often covered in other books on Tarot spreads. It is a well worthwhile investment, one I heartily endorse for the bookshelf of any Tarot reader.

I love that this book truly goes in depth into different types of spreads, their uses and means of each of the cards. I also love how simple the author makes it to understand and retain the information she is explaining. I definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to further their knowledge in different types of tarot spreads as there are MANY different ones for so many different needs, wants or desires.

I would like to give it a 5 but then i wouldn't have a number for the books i really love. Nice book, Really nice binding/printing.

So funny. I kept checking this book out at my local library, and my husband finally said, "Why not just buy the thing?" So, we did. This book has wonderful colorful pages with almost secret informational links to the colors represented, the numbers, some of the items that you see repetitively in the Rider-Waite deck. My favorite feature of the book is in the very back where it takes the reader way, way back to the 16th-17th centuries and they way they laid the cards back then. The spreads were much, much larger than they are now and have much more information than just a regular Celtic-Cross. The book explains in detail how to shuffle correctly, count correctly and then lay the spread as they did back then. It was great fun. My spreads were so huge, I had to do them under the piano b/c there wasn't enough floor space in our apartment. Wonderful book. Love it.

This is the Ultimate companion to The Ultimate Guide to Tarot: A Beginner's Guide to the Cards, Spreads, and Revealing the Mystery of the Tarot (Volume 1) I ABSOLUTELY LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BOOK!

This book is fantastic! It has tons of information about how to interpret tarot, including the symbolism of cards and the descriptions of all of the cards (upright and reversed). It talks about so many different spreads for all kinds of situations and offers theoretical examples to help you interpret your own! I’ve recommended this book to so many people starting out with tarot and even those who’re experienced love the spreads and guidance this book offers to them. I cannot recommend this one enough!

I have several tarot books, but this is my most often referred to one. Lots of different layouts and information.
