It's own shuffled deck of Cards
Really love the way she set this book up like a deck ready to pick a card for the day. There is a table of contents in the back if you're looking for a specific card.I like the idea of the open pages for those who want to write a note or draw a picture tho I'm not one to mark my books up. This is a great alternative to those who may not want to practice with cards and worrying about memorizing card meanings.

Unique addition to any Tarot practice
This is a unique addition to my Tarot practice. Each poem offers insight to it's card and they are all arranged in random order, which I have grown to enjoy so much more than I thought I would when I first bought it. Use it as its own intuitive guidance message for the day by flipping to a random page, or use the index in the back look up cards you have drawn for yourself. I use it alongside my Tarot Guidebook Journal in my daily practice.It's a smaller size which makes it easy to carry in a purse. The book is laid out with the poem on the left and a blank page on the right - perfect for taking notes, jotting down intuitive thoughts, drawing what your feel, or even writing a poem of your own.If you enjoy poetry, and enjoy Tarot, this is a must buy!!

Beautifully written interpretation of Tarot cards in the style of poetry
I absolutely loved this little book! The author crafts beautiful poems that are her interpretations of the various different Tarot cards. I not only love this idea, but the execution is fantastic. She makes bite size poems that you can easily read to yourself or whomever you're giving a reading too. I'm not too familiar with Tarot, so this is a great tool for me! Also, the author purposefully chose to leave blank pages next to the poems for the reader to write any notes, feelings, interpretations...etc., it's a nifty feature.The only suggestion I would have (in case of a future printing) is to add a table of contents. I attached a picture of the one I made. It was quite time consuming - however, it did make me familiar with every poem.

Beautiful Poems - Wish they were in order
Just received this yesterday and dug right in - it's beautiful and love that there is a blank page next to each poem for us to jot down our personal takes, doodles, etc. I think the poems will definitely help me to remember more about each card and I can feel the love that went in to this collection. BUT! I so wish that the poems were ordered by all the arcana then by suit. Author invites us to randomly open the book to a poem so I'm guessing since that was their intent that the non-order was very purposeful - but my brain needs a bit more order, especially for something like this that is partially reference material in nature. I'd buy a reprint if it was in order :)

tarot made accessible
fortunate is the little book of poems you'll want to buy all your best friends! with a poem for each card in the rider smith waite deck, you're bound to find a message that speaks to you. rashidi has made the book in a way where you can think of a number, or flip to a random page, and you will come across your intuitive reading for the day. interpret each poem how you see fit. next to each poem is a blank page, with space to write thoughts, or any epiphanies that may come to you after reading one of the many insightful poems. i highly recommend picking this up for you, your friends, and anyone else who is looking for some pocket-sized wisdom!!!

Lovely poetry and resource
The poetry for each card is beautiful and provides a different perspective that helps me learn tarot better. I love the intentional blank pages after each poem - I will certainly write on these pages to reflect and I may even tape tiny tarot cards or images to customize further and help me learn. As a poetry lover and tarot lover, I find this book to be wonderful! If you are planning to use this partially as a reference tool, please know that the poems are in a random order and there is no index! I ended up creating an index to better help me when I pull cards I have a foggy understanding of so I can use these poems for reference as well!

An amazing book for tarot
I can’t express how much I love this book. It’s a paper back, the artwork on the front is so glossy and beautiful. Each poem was handcrafted with love and resonates so well with each tarot card. it’s defiantly an amazing tool to incorporate into readings for other people, or even just for yourself when you’re feeling down. there’s an empty page by each poem which is so nice because you can jot down any doodles, thoughts, and feelings about that specific poem. this book is amazing whether you’re starting tarot and you would like a short meaning for each card, or if you’re an expert at it. if you’re thinking about buying it just do it, it’s so worth it!!!

Tiktok made me buy it & I absolutely love it
This book is filled with poems covering each of the tarot deck cardsThe pages are not placed in the book in any sort of matchingnumeric order in regards to the cards numberswhich enables you to flip through and get a quick one card pull. I feel the poems are a great way to learn more about each card as well . This book is now the most popular book in my house everyone flips through it daily to get their reading for the day.

A must have for tarot readers and poetry lovers
This is the perfect tarot pocketbook for anyone who loves reading others’ artistic interpretations of tarot or is just starting out as a beginner to the world of tarot! The fact that the pages are not in order make it a great tool for divinity without having to carry a deck of cards with you at all times but there is an index in the back so you can easily find a specific page if you need. Overall, this was one of my many impulsive purchases but I can’t express how much love this book deserves. The hard work and dedication is evident within the poetry as they're easy to understand, applicable to the card, and thought provoking all at the same time! I think every tarot reader could use this book to their advantage and any poetry lover should read this book out of love of the art. It is truly a beautiful interpretation of tarot and I am so fortunate to have come upon it :)

Beautiful words to help guide.
I love this book; whether you are new to Tarot or a veteran reader, this beautiful book of poems is thoughtfully written, and allows the reader to reflect on what the card means, by reading into their own psyche. Well done Kimmy!
