📖 Why choose it

By providing both the Rider-Waite and Thoth decks alongside a substantial guidebook, it removes the barrier to entry for aspiring diviners.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Levitt’s compilation serves as a robust launchpad for novices, effectively solving the problem of fragmented resources by bundling essential decks with instructional material. The inclusion of nearly 250 pages of guidance and practical aids like spread sheets makes it highly functional for structured learning. However, this kit does not suit experienced practitioners seeking advanced scholarly analysis or obscure historical variants; those readers may find the comparative approach too introductory. It is strictly an entry-level tool designed to establish a solid base rather than to explore the nuanced depths of tarot history or complex astrological correspondences found in more specialized texts.
