Review:

"What I value most in this book is Valerie's openness to all the possibilities of the tarot, even as she honors and respects tarot tradition. She encourages the reader to experiment and 'play' and push the boundaries of the known."--Tarotpassages.com

"It is well written, presents several Tarot techniques that are fun and creative, and is an excellent resource for someone looking to become more familiar with a new deck, or a reader looking to add some pizzaz to their readings."--Bonnie Cehovet, The Crystal Gate

"Try this method of reading the cards. After all, if one card can inspire you, think what two or three could do to deepen your understanding of tarot."--Tarot Association of the British Isles
