⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
This companion volume effectively expands on the original deck by weaving fairy tale symbolism into practical psychological exercises. It succeeds in offering clear interpretations and actionable spreads for those committed to using tarot for healing. However, it does not suit readers seeking rigorous academic analysis or dry historical critiques of folklore; this is a devotional tool, not a scholarly text. Additionally, individuals who prefer purely intuitive readings without structured exercises may find the workbook format restrictive. It is best appreciated by those who view fairy tales as living metaphors for the psyche rather than mere children's stories. The focus on esoteric healing makes it less relevant for casual gamblers looking only for fortune-telling predictions without the accompanying spiritual work.
