I enjoyed this after giving it a brief look over on my kindle. I did wind up purchasing this so I could actively fill it out as I was going through it.

I realized a bit too late that I was overly excited about the idea of a book on tarot, but do not own the deck associated with this book/guide. I did not end up reading very much of it at all.

I found this to be an interesting concept and the information and prompts were presented well. I liked that it guided the reader to do weekly readings without feeling forced.

This is a great tool for people whom own this tarot deck! Personally when I received this deck from my friend, I didn't enjoy the artwork like I expected I would so didn't feel a connection to the imagery. Even though I am not a fan of this particular art style, I think this book is well laid out and perfect for a tarot journal. I also think that the artwork will appease a lot of tarot enthusiasts so I would recommend this journal along with The Fountain Tarot Deck.

Also available as a companion to The Fountain Tarot is The Fountain Tarot Journal: A Year In 52 Readings, also published by Roost . The Journal has a matte finish color soft cover and 160 pages; it begins with a Note From the Creators followed with some useful information including How to Use This Book, Tarot Basics, Sample Spreads, among others. The rest of the 130 pages are for journaling, beginning with instructions for choosing a Card of the Year, space for a 3-card, 5-card and 10-card reading, and then space for the 52 readings (with 2 pages for each reading), including Quarterly Cards and summaries, and ending with a Year-End Summary and Reflection. Each reading section has space for the date and time, the question asked, traits and meanings, initial reaction, connections/relationships between the cards, patterns and themes, a summary of what the cards represent, personal reflections, action to be taken, and people to enlist. Although presented as a companion to The Fountain Tarot, this Journal could be used with any Tarot deck, and it offers a useful tool and process for nurturing a deep connection to the cards of Tarot.

I thought I would enjoy this book more than I ended up doing. But that's probably because I'm not a beginner at reading Tarot. If you have worked for some time with Tarot and/or Oracle Cards there's nothing new about the information - at least that was the case for me.

What an excellent way to assure that we are practicing with the cards on a regular basis! There is ample space of one reading a week for a whole year, plus a good section at the beginning- introducing us to the cards, as well as several different spreads. I also loved the beautiful illustrations from the Fountain Tarot deck itself as well as the ma y wise and inspiring quotes woven throughout.

I was interested in this book because I am a SoulCollage Facilitator. SoulCollage is an intuitive process where we make our own deck of cards that reflect our own life journeys including cards that represent our inner voices, community members, archetypes and animal guides. I found this book helpful because many of the spreads suggested can be adapted to the endings that we do with our own cards.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advance reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
