Tarot: A New Handbook for the Apprentice (Connolly Tarot, Vol 1) (Part 1) – Review

This book, “Tarot: A New Handbook for the Apprentice” (Connolly Tarot, Vol 1) (Part 1) promises to be a comprehensive guide for those embarking on their tarot journey. The clear and organized structure, with its distinct sections and chapters, suggests a methodical approach to learning the art of tarot reading.

Here’s what I anticipate based on the table of contents:




  • Solid Foundation: The book starts with a focus on learning the cards themselves, diving into the Minor Arcana, Court Cards, and Major Arcana. This foundational knowledge is crucial for accurate interpretations and understanding the symbolism that fuels tarot readings.
  • Detailed Exploration of the Mentors: The “Minor Mentors” and “Court Mentors” chapters hint at a unique approach to understanding the cards as guides and teachers. This element adds an intriguing perspective and emphasizes the potential for personal growth through tarot.
  • Practical Guidance: The latter sections provide insights into the process of divination and reading the cards. “Steps to Divination” and “How to Read the Cards” offer practical advice and techniques for harnessing the power of the cards.
  • Esoteric Depth: The inclusion of “The Esoteric Time Cards” suggests an exploration of the deeper, symbolic meanings associated with the tarot and its connection to time and cycles.

Overall Impression:

This book appears to be a well-structured guide for beginners, offering a strong foundation in card knowledge and practical techniques. The emphasis on the cards as “Mentors” adds a unique and insightful dimension to learning tarot. I am particularly interested in exploring the “Esoteric Time Cards” chapter and understanding how it connects the tarot to broader cycles and symbolism.

However, the title suggests a multi-part series. This review focuses on the first part of the book, and therefore a full understanding of its content and effectiveness requires reading the subsequent parts.

To enhance the review further, I would need to access the book’s content itself. This would allow for a more detailed examination of the writing style, exercises, and overall tone of the book.
