The book is divided into the following chapters:

  • One: How to Read the Tarot
  • Two: The Pixie – Pamela Colman Smith
  • Three: The Scholar – A.E. Waite
  • Four: The Waite-Smith Tarot Deck
  • Five: The Major Arcana Unpacked
  • Six: The Minors and Courts Unpacked
  • Seven: The Kabbalah of the Minors
  • Eight: The Colour of the Cards
  • Nine: Pamela’s Music
  • Ten: Spreads & Reading Methods
  • Eleven: Arthur Reads the Tarot

The book includes biographies for the creators of the tarot deck. I thought the list of keywords for the deck was extremely helpful. The author thoroughly broke down the differences between the major and minor arcana. I can now look at a deck with a new perspective and feel more confident when looking at and reading cards.
