Wicce's Tarot Collection

Wicce's Recommended Reading

These are tarot books which, as a teacher of tarot for beginners, I can highly and heartily recommend based on experience with their use and also with the feedback I've gotten from my students over time. I have them broken down into subcategories so that you can look them up by what your needs are. As with all books listed on my site, these are linked to Amazon.com so you can look up information on buying them. You can purchase them while there but this information is provided mainly so you can price shop and compare.
