Best Beginner Tarot Books: Which Should I Choose?
Asked by

Hey everyone! I'm on the lookout for a couple of great beginner books for learning tarot. I have a shortlist but I don't want to grab them all—maybe just two at most. Here's what I've narrowed it down to: 1. Guided Tarot: A Beginner's Guide to Card Meanings, Spreads, and Intuitive Exercises for Seamless Readings by Stefanie Caponi 2. Wild Card: Let the Tarot Tell Your Story by Fiona Lensvelt 3. Ultimate Guide to Tarot: A Beginner's Guide to the Cards, Spreads, and Revealing the Mystery of the Tarot by Liz Dean 4. Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom: A Tarot Journey to Self-Awareness by Rachel Pollack. I'd love to hear your thoughts on which ones you think are the best!

Totally agree about Dusty White’s book! It really breaks down the basics in a practical way. Also, if you’re looking for more workbook-style approaches, consider "Tarot for Yourself: A Workbook for Personal Transformation" by Mary K. Greer.

Honestly, I think the best beginner book isn't even on your list. Check out "The Easiest Way to Learn the Tarot Ever" by Dusty White. I know the title sounds a bit cheesy, but the way it's structured like an exercise book really helps newbies get familiar with the cards.
