I am frequently asked which books are the best tarot books to read to learn tarot. I have this (non)exhaustive list that is helpful for you right now. So get started reading about tarot today!

Why are these Tarot Books Here?

The tarot books listed here are in the order I connected with them. I’ll also share why they were important at that point in my tarot journey. Just in case it’s helpful in your decision to use a book at this point or not. I want to share the insight behind the reason I bought the book at a point in time . I picked these out or they came to me at a certain time in my life.

Tarot books aren’t the only books you should read! Read art history, about art, literature, history, religion, even math (yes).

Check out the video for more personal antecdotes about why I choose some of these books.

Currently recommended Tarot books:

Legend: (B)eginner (I)ntermediate (A)dvanced (BIA) it grows with you as you do

(B) Little White Book (LWB) that comes with your first (or any) deck. Usually the first book about tarot that everyone reads. It can give you a beginners mindset with some intermediate and advanced stuff all crammed into one mini pamphlet.

I wanted to learn out more about how to read, the history of tarot, and about the numbers. I really needed some practical help. And if you don’t know your history you’re doomed to repeat it instead of take it to the next level.
