Hey! As simple as the topic title. I know that books are not the be-all end-all for studying cartomancy, but I'd love to hear all of your favorite titles!
Right now, I'm reading Waite's "The Pictorial Key to the Tarot," which is the first book on the subject I've read.
Which is your favorite Tarot book?

Which is your favorite Tarot book?
"To practice magic is to be a quack; to know magic is to be a sage." -Eliphas Lévi
"Paradox and contradiction are mysteries of the soul. The weird, the uncanny are sources of knowledge. To know the self. . . one must open the heart wide and search every part. This requires facing the unacceptable, the perverse, the strange, even the sick. Without this critical embrace of metaphysical complexity the soul cannot be understood." -bell hooks

Re: Which is your favorite Tarot book?
Some might call me crazy but I really liked "Tarot Made Easy". It really really makes it easy and discusses the common and some uncommon tarot spreads. It also helps you interpret the cards better. But in the end you are only as good as your intuition and connection with the cards.

Re: Which is your favorite Tarot book?
Crowley's The Book of Thoth got me back into the tarot, even if I don't buy his switching of Heh and Tsadi. My favorite book is a tie between Tarot for Life and Liber Theta. The former gives tips in reading plus anecdotes about each of the cards, but the latter explains some of the occult meanings behind the cards (even if it uses the Heh-Tsadi switch).
Half-assed pun about the arcane.

The Tarot of the Spirit, companioin to the deck of the same name. It´s a very positive book, with nearly no negative meanings... But it really enhanced my understanding of the cards and has features on Kabbalah, Meditation and so on.
Liber Theta, which I never found oficially published is also a very good book. Also with instructions on meditation, linking the cards to other cards in their meanings... that is really an eye-opener.
