How to Deal: Tarot for Everyday Life by Sami Main and Marisa de la Peña

A beginner's guide to reading tarot, with card meanings, exercises and sample layouts.



This beautifully illustrated book covers the complete tarot in simple, easy to understand language. It goes through each suit in turn, touching on what they mean as a whole and then what each card means individually. The illustrations don't quite match my deck, but the energy does and the descriptions are brilliant.

My only nitpick is that this book doesn't deal with reversed cards at all; the only time they're even mentioned is when the author tells us to be careful when shuffling so that the cards don't reverse. Reversed cards can add a lot of meaning to a reading and I'm sorry they weren't dealt with here.

Otherwise, though, I really enjoyed this book, and it's definitely going to become the one I reach for first when I'm having trouble!



If you want to channel the power of the cosmos through tarot, this accessible and practical guide is for you. Written for novices and seasoned readers alike, How to Deal is packed with artwork and includes prompts, exercises, and layouts to give you the answers you're looking for.
Sometimes you just need the universe to tell you whether your crush likes you or how to handle that awkward family situation or which life path is the best one for you. Sami Main breaks down how the cards relate to one another, explaining spreads for future readings and questions to ask the cards. And she takes you through all the Major and Minor Arcana, with colorful illustrations of the cards and detailed descriptions of what they mean.
As Sami will teach you: The cards are here to guide you through life’s ups and downs—you just have to understand what they’re trying to say.
