With 1,001 spreads for every possible need, this guide—written by a master tarot reader and bestselling author—is the be-all and end-all sourcebook on tarot card layouts! People seeking to understand themselves and their destiny have long relied on tarot cards for divination. And while finding guidance may be as simple as drawing one card randomly from the deck, over the years many other layouts have been devised—from three-card past/present/future readings to more complicated layouts that use almost the entire deck. Bestselling author and master reader Cassandra Eason will guide you through this rich variety of spreads so you can get a more precise answer to your question. Address a lingering anxiety by laying down a 10-card Celtic Cross. Buying a house? About to undergo surgery? Confused by a flighty love interest? Look to this book for 1,001 different ways to draw and place cards that will give you clues about the future, context for the present, and insight into the past.

Here you'll find 122 different layouts with information on when and how to use them. Start with personal day and year cards, and learn how to relate Tarot to your own interests, in order to find specific blind spots and personal resistances, as well as how to look for new chances and unexpected directions. Then you progress to the larger and theme cards, and learn to interpret networks of cards and also "to view every card as a world by itself." You'll become acquainted with the Cycle of the Year (with 20 major layouts) and with the practice of Tarot and astrology, using the respected Golden Dawn System developed by Arthur A. Waite and Alistair Crowley. Soon you'll appreciate the variety and creativity inherent in Tarot, to see the cards as a mirror of yourself, and to discover what the authors mean when they say that "being lucky has nothing to do with luck." 192 pages, 114 b/w illus., 6 x 9.

The author communicates the basic depth and beauty of each card and shows how the cards trigger psychological projection, enhance intuition, and improve communication with the Inner Guide.
