This is the Mask: A Book Blog

Thank you NetGalley and Running Press for the ARC of Lindsay Mack’s “Tarot for the Wild Soul.”

Lindsay Mack’s “Tarot for the Wild Soul” is a good resource and guide for all Tarot users, new and seasoned. Mack opens with a basic “What are the cards?” introduction, and then breaks the deck into three major parts: the Major Arcana, the Minor Arcana, and the Court cards. I read the Court cards as a part of their suit, so this was a different approach for me.
Mack groups the cards by meaning and relation to others, not necessarily by suit. She guides readers on how to apply the cards’ meanings to lived situations. I found the instructions to be a little basic, but for someone who is new to the cards, a simple explanation is best.
I think this is a useful book, and I expect I will refer to it again in my own Tarot practice. As an aside, this book led me to Lindsay Mack’s podcast “Tarot for the Wild Soul,” and the episodes are very interesting.
