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.
