Courtney Weber has been teaching tarot for 10 years, and one of the things most requested of her is a good guide to doing a self-reading. Unable to recommend one, she created Tarot for One, based on her most requested and best-attended class. In Weber's clean, clear style, this book explains how to form a personal relationship with the cards, connecting your own life experiences with the archetypes, creating tarot-based nicknames for your own life's characters, and letting the voice of the tarot come through in a reading without overlaying too much of your own "stuff." She includes chapters on the history and applications of tarot, the Fool, the Major Arcana, the Court Cards, and the Suits of Cups, Wands, Swords, and Pentacles, as well as on what she calls the beauty cards and the tough cards, reversals, practice spreads, and next steps.

Arthur E. Waite and artist Pamela Colman Smith's Rider-Waite Tarot (1909) is the most popular Tarot in the world. Today, it is affectionately referred to as the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot in recognition of the high quality of Smith's contributions. Waite and Smith's deck has become the gold standard for identifying and analyzing contemporary Tarot and other meditation decks based on archetypes. Developments in both visual and literary history and theory have influenced Tarot since its fifteenth-century invention as a game and subsequent adaptations for esotericism, cartomancy, and meditation. This analysis consider Tarot in relation to established modern and postmodern art movements, such as Symbolism, Surrealism, and Pattern and Decoration Art, as well as the concepts and theories informing both the dominance and the dissolution of the modernist "grid" and hierarchical priorities. This work also explores the close connection between Tarot and the invention of the literary novel and includes new material on the representation of Tarot in film and fiction. A new chapter addresses the growing influence of the archetypal "shadow" and "shadow work" on Tarot as an artistic form, narrative genre, and practice in the new millennium.
