Following your Path by Alexandra Collins Dickerman
I picked this book up at the library for 50 cents. At the time of getting this book I was not into tarot and did not even relize the book used tarot..I was going through my things to put lots of items up for trade (in worldwide and U.S./Canada now)..When I looked through the book..i am like cool a tarot workbook...It is not a tarot workbook..it is about finding your inners self using tarot as symbols and storys..It is a pretty interesting book..I have not started working with it yet..I am going to very soon.. The book tells you how to use it also which is very useful..Here is an example of what is in the book...
The Fool
At the top of the page is a saying:
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
Goethe
Says "we begin as the fool" etc...
then it tells you a bit more..then once you are done studying the picture it gives (one is based on rider-waite and one is marsellies (sp?)) You can also color in the pictures if you want..
Then it does a saying by Jung
Then..Imagine that you are walking along your path....etc..yada..yada....Then "as you approach you notice that the Fool is holding a white rose" Then you use your imagination and write down the first thing that comes to mind.. Here are some of the questions or statements..
I am skipping the first few...
"The Fool is stepping out into the unknown, taking all he will need. His heart is filled with________________________
The Fool says,
I am going to______
I will try to_____
I can____
I fear____
I have_____
Then it tells you about your responses to the questions...Gives you an affirmation to say to yourself....Then...
Ask questions about the white rose..
Then it goes to staring off and then tells a bit of a story...THen you move on to the magician.
It does each Tarot card and each one is different in the question and ideas and stories...So it is not like you are going thru the whole thing answering the same questions...
Does anyone have this book? If so..What do you think of it?
