Tarot of the Spirit

Thank you Pamela for writing such a helpful guide to tarot. i recommend this to anyone who wants to learn the pip cards deeper. I esp. appreciate how this author is helping me understand how the different suits relate to the different elemental energies, Earth, Air, Water and Fire. This is brings healing depth into my own understanding of tarot and getting so much insight into the healing aspect of Tarot. Wonderful book esp. for those wanting to learn more about the suit cards in tarot. Is ironic to me that most books, teachers focus on the major arcana and barely touch the pip cards. This book is bringing the minor arcana alive for me. I have not gotten to the major arcana yet. This is deep book, takes about a year to go through it, but is wonderful guide. does not need to be used with her deck. This is deep training that can be applied to any tarot deck.

If you're familiar with the Rider Waite Smith system and you feel yourself wanting "more", this is absolutely the system/book you should get. I learned RWS the past year and kept finding myself feeling like there was more to the cards than I felt all the RWS material (tons of books included) was providing, so I started looking into alternative systems that had a lot in common with RWS and I could glide into with the knowledge I had, but also offered a deeper view of the archetypes in the cards and the symbolism in the art. This book was exactly what I was hoping to find. It's easily graspable and readable, and while it *is* on the esoteric side (lots of Kabbalah and Tree of Life references, which I find fascinating), there is a lot of self-development and psychological aspects to the cards which are great if you are interested in the cards using a more psychological approach. I now have this book, and the other books in the series, on both Kindle *and* in hard copy- a set of my reference shelf and on my Kindle so when I'm working on research (i'm doing a independent study/project of Tarot looking at alternative and psychological approaches to the cards) I have the information at my fingertips. And, big confession- I don't even have the actual Tarot of the Spirit deck. I use this book alongside a bunch of other decks, most notably Margerete Petersen, Jonsasa Jaus, Dreaming Way, and even Sasaraubito. It works with most decks. I highly recommend this book if you're looking for something a little bit "more" than the traditional RWS history and interpretations.

Wonderful! I have only read the Introduction and part of the first chapter.... I am already a fan!

Pamela Eakins is an authentic, fully-human philosopher, with a genuine love forn and desire to help her fellow sojourners on this planet and in this time. She has moved Tarot out of the traditional confines, into a higher transcendental realm. Her book, while high-minded, is very accessible, and the ideas and concepts she presents are easily comprehended. I lost this book & deck, as well as many others, in a "water disaster" - and am so glad they are available to replace. I confidentially recommend the book and cards, especially for those who have a love for deeply-investigating the magnificent beauty of the "inside" of reality and our conscious awareness and participation in its unfolding.

Excellent book on the journey of the tarot and tying in of the Kabbalah, there is a lot of information to cover in this book, that give a complete and through explanation on each card, the planetary association and sephiroth it's connected to, very detailed but relatable. If you desire to go deeper with the tarot, this is the book for you.

Pamela Eakins book gives a thick description of each of the cards in her "Tarot of the Spirit," in much the same way that Crowley's "Book of Thoth" offers a thick description of each of the Atus composed by Lady Freida Harris. And like the "Book of Thoth", the "Tarot of the Spirit" book not only enlightens us to Eakins's own Tarot, but is so comprehensive, that I believe it to be suitable to understanding the basic Tarot concepts in general. In that sense, it not only enriches one's understanding of her deck, but of any deck one might find. It's a great book and a good read.

Pamela Eakins is a master…her TarotOfTheSpirit book and tarot cards are the best. Meaningful, relevant, great symbolism — off the charts amazing and heartfelt; each card was originally hand painted by her mother. She was born a master; and then studied for years in multiple venues and areas of focus adding to what was already born within her.

I am an old man. My point of view was constantly in conflict which made it very hard for me to proceed. The book and deck go together. Although I only got through the first two fire (wands) cards I learned a huge amount. I highly recommend the set for any one who is a student of Tarot or Kaballa et. al.

this is so well written and insight full , must have for card readers

La verdad desde que adquiri el Tarot del Espíritu de la misma autora, quede fascinado con la simbología de cada arcano del Tarot y cómo mezclaba el conocimiento esoterico-magico de la Cabalah en cada representación. He leído barios libros sobre Tarot y Cabalah, pero en este resume lo de los demas y le da un enfoque contemporaneo a nuestros días. Tarot y Cabalah van de la mano. El libro esta en Ingles pero aun así vale la pena comprarlo.

This book is a supreme work of unimaginable meaning, depth, beauty and wisdom. What an amazing author. What an amazing pair, mother and daughter, who created one of the deepest, richest, most beautiful tarot decks in the world, the Tarot of the Spirit. I am so grateful I have the conditions to invite treasures like these into my life. Thank You <3

非常に美しいカードです。背景やシンボルより、シンボルの意味する本質を描いているように感じます。カードの本質を表す精霊の姿のようです。ウェイト系に慣れていると戸惑いますがタロット好きの方を占う時に カードの先読みをされたりはしないと思います。

Increíble!! En todos aspectos!! Q gran trabajo de madre y hija! Desafiador y Inspirador <3
