Book Review: Tarot Therapy by Leona Nichole Black

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Since I’m all about reading diverse books, obviously I was quick to request and wish for this read on NetGalley. Tarot Therapy by Leona Nichole Black was my first time reading a tarot book written by a Black woman and I am here for the diverse perspective offered. This is such an interesting read for people who are into reading tarot cards! Black has a unique way of combining arcana with emotions, lessons learned, and biography. It has both wit and charm that is unmatched.

I’m relatively new to reading tarot cards and have been trying to read all I can to familiarize myself with the art. While there is no shortage of books to explain and learn from, I found Tarot Therapy spoke to me in a way the others didn’t. It was really the way the incorporated therapeutic principals to tarot. The chapters explores each card in-depth, explaining how they relate to commonly experienced emotions and how we can process them. It made sense when laid out like this. Readers are offered three-card-pulls along with questions to journal and discuss with a trusted person.

Overall, this was a fantastic read. Incredibly informative, I can tell I will be referring back to this book often. The questions posed throughout the text can be asked over-and-over again, giving me the feeling the cards will have different responses at different points in my life. I found Black opened a new world of opportunities for the use of tarot with this book. I highly recommend adding it to your bookshelf. Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for a temporary e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.
