My book Introduction to Tarot is included in The Complete Tarot Kit. But so many people told my publisher that they wanted only the book because they already had tarot cards (The Kit includes cards). So Introduction To Tarot was published separately in October 2003. Thank you to everyone who supported my book!
Introduction to Tarot is a beautiful four-color book, richly illustrated, and offers detailed explanations of both the Waite-Rider-Smith and Crowley Thoth decks — the two best-selling tarot decks of all time.
People tell me that Introduction To Tarot is their perfect companion to refer to when reading tarot cards and learning more about them. With Introduction to Tarot, you really can learn how to read tarot cards for yourself and others.
Introduction to Tarot is also published in Chinese and Russian.
Chinese copies are available from the publisher in Taipei, Taiwan through their online store.
RAVE REVIEWS for INTRODUCTION TO TAROT
“I recommend this book as a very well written first approach to Tarot. It is thoughtful and spiritually deep.”
– The Hermit’s Corner, tarot reader and tarot blogger
“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
“This book is an excellent introduction to the tarot for those of us who want to study this ancient art but do not know where to embark. It is written in such a way that it stimulates the imagination and gently opens the door to the world of archetypes and magic.”
– Candis Canton, author and creator of Herbal Tarot
“Susan Levitt’s charming book offers newcomers a gentle and creative introduction to the tarot. Neither oversimplified nor overcomplicated, Introducton to Tarot contains good basic ideas presented in an accessible and attractive way.”
– Cynthia Giles, author of The Tarot: History, Mystery, and Lore and The Tarot: Methods, Mastery, and More
“Of all the tarot books I’ve reviewed, and I’ve looked at over fifty of them, Introduction to Tarot is the clearest and easiest to understand and apply.”
– Diane Conner, collage artist, San Francisco CA
“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
