This is such a helpful and non confusing way to help readers better understand Tarot and all it can do for you. I love the journey she takes us on and her beautiful interpretations. I think this is a fantastic addition to one’s bookshelf!

I adore this enchanting book of tarot. Rather than an instruction manual, it encourages personal connection with the cards, delving into own intuition and exploring what each chosen card means to you. I still call myself a novice despite using cards for years because I've never been one for doing spreads but instead pull one when needed. This book gave me the validation that using the cards like this was OK and encouraged me to go further. I'm inspired to pull a card daily and use it I tandem with journaling and see what happens.
The style of the book is light, easy to understand and reminds you to see the everyday magic around with help of tarot.

As a long time tarot reader, I didn't feel that this really added all that much to my personal tarot experience or library. With it being out of order, it felt messy, like it was pulled from social media posts and bound into a book without much else being done. I have nothing against using preexisting online content to make a book, but I would have wanted to see more added to that to tidy it up and bring it all together in a more comprehensive way.

I really like this author's work so I was delighted to receive an e-copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher.

The book introduces the author's 78 word story and accompanying insight on each card pulled weekly. And that's it! It's very simple, illustrated by cards from the Rider Waite Smith deck and with a brief introduction and conclusion.

But I think it is a very valuable addition to any tarot library. As soon as I started to read I decided to do a 'Tarot Tuesday' pull as part of my own practice and I find that it really focusses on the essence of each card and adds a different dimension to my understanding. I have particularly liked writing my own story and insights and comparing them to the author's for the same card. That has been very insightful.

The only thing I would have preferred would be for the stories to be presented in suit and number order rather than in the order the author pulled the cards, but that's really because it would have made it easier to find them!

I'll admit, I'm not the greatest expert in Tarot readings, but they fascinate me. The trouble is, any book I've come across in the past has riddles in their meanings or ominous predictions that leave a sense of nervousness when trying to find other 'lighter' meanings.

But there was none of that in Conversations with the Tarot. Maria DeBlassie perfectly blends poetry, some magic and positivity into each Tarot card reading—even ones that are usually considered bad, or even evil, omens. DeBlassie brings a lightness to the decks that are stereotyped as ominous or witchy.

Conversations with the Tarot is a must-read for anyone interested in poetry, the magic of the deck or who just wants a positive book.

Thank you, NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This book are daily reflections of her. Each cards contain one poem with its complementary journal. Rather than literal meaning, it gave the vibe, the understanding, the subtle hint. I think it's a good way to reflect about tarot and to evoke certain feelings that may or may not align with your understanding of a certain card.

Thanks to Netgalley and publisher for the eARC!

I really loved this book! It was such a unique structure for a tarot book, and I loved the poems and insights. Very informative and well-structured!

I've never read a tarot book like this before. I went in thinking maybe it would just be like every other guide book I'd read, but what I've found is a love letter to tarot, with a dedication to each individual card, both upright & reversed.
It's beautifully poetic and mediative to read. I will absolutely be purchasing a copy for my shelf.
