Tarot: a New Approach for Beginners

Aleister Crowley designed 'The Tarot-General Attributions' Page 268 in his book The Book of Thoth for his Thoth Tarot. 'The Tree' itself can be used as well for the Rider-Waite deck successfully, enriching the reading and giving the client a snapshot of the Celtic Cross spread regarding the main concern, Card #1 in the here and now. Emphasis is placed in developing a relationship with the cards versus relying on 'book descriptions'. Difficult cards are explained as well as Court Cards and how to apply them. 'The Tree', however, in Part 2 is the heart of this book applying a Celtic Cross spread which 'lights up' hubs and pathways of The Tree. A reading example ties together a Celtic Cross spread with The Tree demonstrating how The Tree enriches the Celtic Cross reading. Tarot itself is explained as a serious practice which deserves respect as a divination tool.
