A labor of love ten years in the making, Tarot Experienceis the second volume in Lo Scarabeo's authoritative compilation of tarot knowledge. While the first volume, Tarot Fundamentals, focused more on general principles and basic knowledge, this book is more hands-on and personal, full of practical suggestions, spread guides, and specific reading techniques. This illustrated, full-color volume includes contributions from a wide range of tarot experts, including Sasha Graham, Barbara Moore, Mark McElroy, Marcus Katz, Tali Goodwin, Giordano Berti, and Riccardo Minetti. Tarot is a living tradition, forever evolving and growing. This resource book shows that tarot is always reinventing itself while never forgetting its origins.

Tarot Fundamentals introduces you to the tarot and familiarizes you with the cards and the whole idea of reading them. Tarot Experience assumes the reader has that foundation, and focuses on using tarot cards. The first section of the book discusses different ways to use the cards: for ritual, magic, dream interpretation, and so on. After that, we get into the main part of the book, which is an in-depth work on reading the cards. The authors take several approaches. One section explains the differences for the reader between giving five-minute, twenty-minute, and sixty-minute readings. It's pragmatic as all get-out, and I really appreciated it. There are chapters on designing your own spreads, reading reversals, handling scary cards, how to read for friends & family/strangers/skeptics, the differences between predictive and advisory readings, psychological and philosophical issues, and doing readings on the topics most people ask about (love, career, and money). There's also a section on card meanings: one page per card, with the meanings worded for readings on personal life, psyche and soul, and divination. And of course, in a book focused on doing readings, there are spreads scattered throughout.
This is a good book, but I just can't bring myself to give it the fifth star. The proofreading is as atrocious as in Tarot Fundamentals if not more so: misspellings, missing words, homophones, punctuation gone awry, odd grammar, strange syntax. While there are several good spreads in this book, there's no index to them. Be prepared to bookmark your favorites. And at least twice I saw a spread referred to as an example, but the page on which to find the spread had been left out: "Acknowledging this, the Reader should select a spread such as Looking for Love on page __." Gah.
This book would probably be most useful to advanced beginners and intermediate tarot readers. It's not a necessary purchase, but it'd be interesting, and I'm glad I read it. ( )
