Personal Tarot Library

These are the books on tarot that I have currently on hand (paper, audio or pdf). Those that I have read or more likely reread in 2020-2021 will have reviews and/or other commentary. My goal is to have a hundred titles (recently read and commented on) in this library by the end of 2021 and then twenty-forty books a year thereafter.

The commentary I provide on tarot texts come from a very specific point-of-view. My personal esoteric paradigm is laid out in the Natural Array System. I find a lot of traditional esoteric correspondences and ways of approaching the tarot to be unhelpful. But reading every single one of these texts (and a lot of others that aren't about tarot specifically) has given me incredible insight into some aspect of tarot, myself, and human culture. Even if it is simply how different people raised in different cultures and periods of time can all love the tarot and use it as part of their spiritual and/or psychological quest for wholeness.

Here is a list of books I think are most useful for beginning tarot readers. I don't make the same kind of commentary on that page, just the kind of information that likewise, I think is most useful for beginning tarot readers.
