I have thumbed through a ton of tarot guides in the past few weeks and this one is the bestest. My goals with tarot align perfectly with this book: self reflection, personal growth, plumbing intuition. And while many tarot guides bring up myths and archetypes, I can’t say I have seen any that tie in researched psychology and therapy tools.

How fitting that my first draw with this book was the Wheel of Fortune! For the Tarot of Change lol. To give you an example, in the section on the Wheel of Fortune, Dore explains the Cycle of Change model by Prochaska and DiClemente, and how that model can help encourage you to stick with something by realizing that difficulty and otherwise unpleasantness are part of the process of change: “it brings together two seemingly conflicted realities: this stage is both awful and necessary….not everything that feels bad is wrong.”

I am so delighted in the potential here!
