RAVE REVIEWS for INTRODUCTION TO TAROT
“This is the book that made an avid Tarot reader of me! Gracefully written and accessible, it will inspire you to read rich meanings into the imagery of the cards. I find myself returning to it again and again.”
-Donna Gillespie, author of The Light Bearer and Lady of the Light
“This is a clear and compact guide, with many gems stored inside it. Levitt presents the tarot as a way to join with the rhythms of nature, as natural as the yin and yang of breath.”
– Rachel Pollack, author of Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom and The Complete Illustrated Guide to Tarot
“What I admire most about Introduction to Tarot is how it bridges depth with clarity. Susan doesn’t just explain the Rider-Waite and Thoth decks, she opens the door for readers to see tarot as both an art and a lifelong practice. By weaving together symbolism, numerology, astrology, chakras, and even feng shui, she created a guide that invites both beginners and seasoned readers to deepen their relationship with the cards. At a moment when tarot is seeing a powerful resurgence especially among readers seeking guidance, ritual, and self-understanding her book feels especially vital. It shows that tarot isn’t just fortune-telling; it’s a language of meaning that can be lived with, studied, and practiced every day.”
– Beatriz Williams, tarot reader and author

“This is my Tarot Bible! It is well loved and well worn. After almost 9 years of love. I’ve tried taping the side of the book back many times, but after just as many times it kept coming off. I’m now keeping it on one of my many Moon in Cancer keepsake boxes because The Complete Tarot Kit really is, and always will be, one of my greatest treasures! Thank you for continuing to share your amazing gift for teaching with all of us, Susan.”
– Jennifer London, tarot card reader, Nashville TN

“I was recently given your book Introduction to Tarot as a present by a friend tarot reader. I keep referring to it – can’t put it down. Thank you for writing such a great guide. I am a latecomer to Tarot, having recently retired and hoping the memorizing of the cards will help keep my mind clear and active into old age, and at the same time, eventually give help to others. ”
– Bob Jowett, retired teacher, Seattle WA
“This book is just magnificent. You must be very proud of it. The size is perfect, the colors spectacular and the text is engaging. I especially liked your dedication as I am one of your past/present/future students! Thank you.”
– Gavin W. Young, Jr., tarot card reader, life coach, and counselor
“I recently got given your Introduction to Tarot for my birthday by my best friend. I have always been very interested in astrology, meditation and wanted to learn how to read tarot so much. Your guide was the ideal introduction. Our summer break is coming to an end here in Paris and I have now completed the 30 day 3 card spread journal. Now that I can recognize most of the cards, I hardly need to look at the book. It feels great to have accomplished something I’ve always wanted to do. I wanted to thank you for making such a good kit for beginners. Every single card is extremely well explained and I look forwards to discovering the many, many different spreads! Thanks again and keep it up!”
– Lindsay, age 14 years, tarot beginner, Paris France
