Left Me Wanting More I’m not new to the tarot, but I enjoyed reading this basic/introductory book. I like a number of concepts that the author wrote about, some are even new as far as being in print:-Using the tarot for creative writing (personally I’ve never heard any other authors mention this, but I’ve done it myself on occasion)-I love her selections of spreads included in the book, some I’ve never heard of either (the tree spread, the life lesson spread, etc.)-Tarot collage (again, I’ve never heard of any author mention this; even though, a friend and I have been doing this for years. We use some cards on our feng shui layout vision boards)I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and I can’t wait to read the author’s other books. I’m glad she’s a prolific writer; I just wish I had more time read. (Maybe I can prompt the women in my book club to read one of her books?)
