Review "I highly recommend Tarot for Teens. . . . It would be a great addition to a young person's path of self-discovery." ― Tarot Insights, November 2002 "I feel strongly that this book will enhance the learning experience and become a life-long companion for any finding the tarot a satisfactory part of their spiritual lives." ― Jodi Wetherup, The Blessed Bee, Spring 2005, Issue No. 24 From the Back Cover TEENS / TAROT INCLUDES: • How to read the oracle to answer questions such as “Is this relationship likely to succeed?” or “Would that be the right college for me?” • Card spreads and exercises to help you learn to do Tarot readings for yourself and others • Detailed interpretations for each of the 78 Tarot cards • A section linking astrological signs and planets to the Major Arcana • How to use numerology for a richer reading of the Tarot • Tips on choosing and caring for your Tarot deck Tarot for Teens includes everything you’ll need to know to get started with this ancient divination technique--no prior knowledge of the Tarot is necessary. People use Tarot cards to make sense of their lives because the pictures and symbols that appear on them are familiar to all of us on an unconscious level. Meditating on these images stimulates our intuition--the gateway to the unconscious--which puts us in touch with a deep inner knowing that is difficult to access in everyday life. The Tarot’s main benefit is the spiritual discovery of one’s own true self. Whether you have questions about a potential love interest, are trying to decide which college to attend, or need to resolve a dispute with a friend, Tarot for Teens will show you how to access the wisdom of the Tarot for trustworthy guidance. The comprehensive explanations in this book can be applied to any Tarot deck and the hands-on activities and sample spreads will make it fun and easy to gain a thorough working knowledge of Tarot symbolism. Most important, the answers you receive when you cast the Tarot will be right for you because they will come from your own inner knowing. M. J.
