Marvellous book, and a perfect companion for the other book of the same title, which relates to the Major Arcana. A must for anyone interested in Tarot.
Rachel Pollack, in producing part two of her "Seventy Eight Degrees of Wisdom" has not disappointed her readers. It is a great initiation into the Minor Arcana, and as such I think it is a great place for new readers to start to understand the Minor Trumps. To introduce each suit she writes about the element related to it, and how that translates into everyday experience. Although the section on "Types of Readings" is about mainly traditional and well-documented spreads, she nevertheless includes more information about each spread than most other writers on the Tarot. The book is more of a companion than a text.

Insightful context
13 Sep 2009
Rachel Pollack's thoughtful and fluid description of the minor arcana gives the tarot reader insight to human elements w/in the symbols for each of the cards. She encourages the read to look beyond the immediate image/ placement to the full array of textures & layers the cards are providing. If the reader allows the wisdom to speak to them, they will feel the true power of spiritual guidance at their finger tips. She utilized many personal examples encouraging the reader to trust through knowledge - of themselves and the cards. I also highly recommend her 78 degrees of Wisdom the Major Arcana which is much more esoteric, which is the dna of the major arcana in a reading. The two together is an amazing experience that anyone interested in serious transformation should read.

Tarot Wisdom

Rachael Pollack writes the best books on Tarot. She is highly educated and knowledgeable with a fascinating personal life (google her and see). She wrote two books called 78 degrees of freedom, parts one and two, that look at each card in detail, discusses the history and some of the psychology of tarot, and shows three kind of spread. From other books I have read it appears these two books revolutionized Tarot reading for the creativity and insight she brings to it.
This is a review for part two, which has the minor arcana cards and the spreads, and the only reason I give it four stars is because both books are now available in a singe volume called Seventy Eight Degrees of Freedom, A Book of Tarot. That I gave five stars.

This is my favorite book on the minor arcana ever
10 Jan 1998
Rachel Pollack does an outstanding job of helping both the beginner and the experienced better understand the meaning of the minor araca cards of the Rider-Waite tarot deck. It's the best of many that I have read!
