Free of woo and full of insightful information. Could be confusing for total beginners I suppose, but if you have some experience with Tarot and also reading for others you'd enjoy it. It thinks of Tarot as a way to connect the reader and the querent with their inner intuition instead of fortune-telling. The vibe of this book is comfortable and intelligent, but neither too fluffy nor too sharp.

Waited far too long for my book to be dispatched but when it finally arrived I was unable to put it down. You can tell the author is a Psychiatrist as he states he doesn't believe in spiritual mumbo jumbo lol I will forgive him this as the book has some great info. Many alternative meanings I hadn't considered for cards that had appeared in my previous readings that now give a much greater understanding of the power within my deck. Highly recommended to believers and non-believers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes at last!

This is the book that was missing from my collection. It is excellent, I would highly recommend it if you read a mixture of decks too because it doesn't just give you standard raider waite meanings. There are also a number of very helpful sample readings. I have enjoyed reading and studying this book and it will keep being a firm go to reference for me too.

I found Anthony Louis' first book,Tarot Plain and Simple, excellent. He has consolidated his reputation as first class Tarot author and reader with the publication of this book. I highly recommend both books to anyone interested in the Tarot.

Not a useful book

L.A. · 5 July 2020

I bought this because of all the good reviews as I wanted something more advanced in Tarot. It's totally disappointing and goes into details about philosophical concepts that I absolutely don't care about when I'm going to read tarot as a professional reader!!If you want something practical and useful, this is not for you and is a waste of time and money because if you buy the kindle, you can't be refunded!!!

A different book. Not for novice as topics covered ...

A.B. · 22 December 2016

A different book. Not for novice as topics covered varies from astrology , Kabbalah, numerology etc. It's amalgam of different backgrounds and how to use them in tarot cards . An interesting read ? arms explained with examples - well explained.

Everything you want/need!

J. · 11 November 2021

This book has everything you need for reading your cards. It goes indepth about each card. It's alot of reading but full of all the information you want/need. It gives plenty of example reading for comprehension. This isn't really a quick flip book unless you mark the pages yourself. Very happy with this purchase.

A Graduate Seminar in Tarot

J. · 12 July 2014

Tarot Beyond the Basics is a graduate seminar in Tarot. Each chapter is a complete topic in and of itself, but there is an overarching theme, which is laid out in the introduction: "My goal in this book is to investigate the symbolism shared by tarot and astrology prior to the nonsense introduced by de Gebelin and de Mellet in 1781." Louis documents his work thoroughly (over 240 footnotes that appear at the end of each chapter) and provides an extensive bibliography. What would a seminar be without resources for further study?Louis is one of the few writers who acknowledges "the Christian context in which the Tarot developed..." (Location 5422-29, Kindle edition), and he frequently includes biblical references and when talking about the cards. His chapter on the Celtic Cross layout is the first time I've seen such an in-depth look at the Christian traditions and symbolism as they relate to this spread. The other chapters explore reversals, intuition, number symbolism, the four elements, the Court Cards, the Major Arcana, and the suits. Each could be read individually and in any order, but do take the time to read the book in the order it is presented and then return to those parts that you want to spend more time with.
