Praise for this book
“At the beginning of my journey as a tarot reader, I used a regular notebook to keep a journal of my readings. Unfortunately, there were no special tarot journals back then, so I had to make do. Over the years, some became available, but most fell short. They were too small or too bulky. Or they were for a specific deck, which felt limiting. Others were unattractive.”
