If you're here that means that you want to deepen your intuitive skills with a tool like tarot cards. You want to know how to use them to gain insight and clarity and to deepen your knowledge of yourself and your world. People have been using the images and symbols in the cards to tell stories for hundreds of years. This book will help start if you're new and improve your skills if you already read. (Note: You would only be purchasing the book. No deck comes with it. And this book works with any deck in the Rider Waite style.) What sets this book apart: Related cards! No other book on tarot will give you this level of relationships between the cards. When cards are connected to one another, their appearance in a spread emphasizes and strengths their meaning. The Functional Tarot breaks down those relationships and tells you exactly what to look for when you interpret sets of cards together. If you want a practical take on how to learn the cards, discover the most insightful meanings, and come up with accurate interpretations, you're in the right place. If you want to do it from a functional perspective, then you're even more welcome. This book accompanies the Functional Tarot deck, but you can use it to build your reading skills with any traditional deck. So, if you already have your own deck and are looking for an accessible way to learn to read or to deepen your knowledge of the cards, this book will work great. Additionally, each description contains the card's notable symbols that you can interpret to strengthen your intuitive reading skills. To be a reader, you have to trust yourself, your instincts, and your intuition. This book will build your skills and empower you.
