After repeated requests from her deck's many enthusiasts, Robin Wood has finally written a companion book! Ms. Wood takes us through her deck card by card, discussing in depth why she picked the colors and symbols she did. Her rich sense of humor shines through, pointing out many visual puns she often made. She studied many decks, noting the symbols and colors they had in common, which may explain why her deck is so popular and easy to use. A symbolic glossary is included. This book repeatedly stresses the importance of following your intuition. If something looks important during a reading, then it is! Other helpful chapters discuss how to combine the individual cards into a coherent story and the ethics of tarot reading. The bulk of the book is designed as a reference work. Each card stands well on its own, but that makes for somewhat repetitive reading cover to cover. For those already using the Robin Wood Tarot, this book gives added depth to the images and brings out details that may have slipped by unnoticed.
The Robin Wood Tarot: The Book can be ordered by calling 1-877-ROBIN WOOD. It's also available from Ms. Wood's website, http://www.robinwood.com.
