Tarot Mirrors: Reflections of Personal Meaning Paperback – August 1, 1988

Loved this book. It's written in an insightful and intelligent way. A unique voice in the tarot literature. I love the concept of tarot as a mirror to my own subconscious, divination is not as interesting for me. I also loved the unique spreads that she presents. The breakthrough process is absolutely lovely! A classic.

One of Greer's best. A lot of fun to work through. Very insightful.

Engaging and insightful history and exploration of tarot. This book shows why Mary Greer has such a high standing in the world of tarot. One to read again and again.

Great book, alone or in her set. I believe they are out of print but can be found on Amazon...I bought them new many years ago, but a friend was interested in learning tarot from her (MKG) so I bought her a gift - My friend is thrilled!

"Tarot Mirrors" is the third book in Mary Greer's series on tarot reading. It is by far the most in-depth of the series. Like its two predecessors it is an invaluable tool for anyone wishing to develop a deeper understanding of the tarot. This is not a book that tells you card meanings and gives convoluted history to the supposedly ancient Celtic cross spread. The book is an exercise in self discovery. The book is also designed to deepen and expand one's ability as a reader. Rather than rely on rote memorization, the exercises and theories presented serve to give you a foundation to build your own theories on.The book is roughly divided into two parts. The first section is on the art of interpretation, the second details a rather elaborate spread designed to expand the spiritual side of reading.The first section involves various methods of reading cards. This process is almost universally ignored by other authors. Ability to ask basic questions of yourself or of the person you are reading for is key to providing the kind of in-depth reading most people desire. Yet this is the first and only book I have seen where how to phrase questions one is asking of the cards is given anything more than a sentence. Ms. Greer suggests that a reading is a process between two people much like therapy, questions lead to answers that in turn lead to new questions. The process is an active one, not passive.Identifies your particular style and works to expand that way of thinking into reading the cards. The four methods of thinking/reading include analytic, psychic, therapeutic and magical. Each has its own special quirks and each works slightly differently in processing a reading.The second portion of the book relates to what Ms. Greer calls `the star system' it is her reinterpretation of Eliphas Levi's thoughts on the Tarot. This is not a reading to be done lightly or quickly. I have used it to great success when dealing with deep rooted issues in my own life. Ms. Greer pulls off a small miracle by making a complex and obscure spread appear understandable and easy to use.While out of print this book is certainly worth the effort to find. IT is an invaluable tool for anyone interested in Tarot.

This is a really nice Tarot book by Mary Greer - a Tarot virtuoso.
