The Wounded King
As a beginner to Tarot I found the book fascinating and insightful, but not always useful for divinatory purposes. I suppose I wanted to find the 'right' answers and meanings for a card, but have quickly learnt through experience and through other postings that there is no such thing. I still find this book invaluable, but it is only one of the many books I use to learn with.
As with the other comments made I found that you can be led to meaning and made to think about aspects and elements of the cards and this book is very much in that vein.
I use the Radiant Rider-Waite deck which works very well for me.
I welcome any recommendations for any other books to use with this deck - I am using 'Learning the Tarot' and 'Pictures from the Heart' - both of which I have found very useful. Now about reversals and court cards....
