A Guide to Tarot Card Readings

Written by Mark McElroy

The 10th anniversary edition of this book is out for 2024! It’s been expanded and updated and given a spiffy new cover. You can pick up an ebook or paperback copy here.

This guide contains simple, straightforward, step-by-step techniques anyone can use to read Tarot cards with accuracy and confidence. 


Easy to follow … great information … a great reference book to have in any metaphysical library.

Mrs. Arias (Amazon Reviewer)

The approach used in this guide is unique, in that it honors both practical and mystical approaches to the cards … so you can choose the path you prefer. Instead of forcing you to adopt one way to read the cards, this book empowers you to create a card-reading method that works best for you. 

While simple enough for total beginners, this book gives you an amazing amount of insight. In addition to a brief (and honest) history of Tarot, you’ll discover how to choose the best Tarot deck for your purposes, how to use (and create) your own problem-solving layouts and spreads, and how to read the cards for yourself and others.

Available from Amazon. Pairs perfectly with the new 10th anniversary version of A Guide to Tarot Card Meanings!
