This is a great book that serves as an introduction to tarot but also shows how you can use it for creativity. There are exercises throughout the book, with each section, showing how to bring out and build your creativity. This book is very thorough, practical, and easy to read, while also being fun and providing a lot of activities to keep you endlessly engaged. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

Tarot for Creativity by Chelsey Pippin Mizzi is a fantastic book for anyone who would like to incorporate tarot into their creative projects. I can also see this book being used as a guide to work through the entire 78 cards of the tarot to learn archetypes and meanings through a creative process.

I appreciate the layout of the table of contents, clearly stating each card and it's topic. A card could be drawn at random and then follow along with the corresponding chapter, or choose a card by its listed theme.

Thank you NetGalley and Chronicle Books for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a very in depth book about the Tarot and different ways to use your deck. It is also a very clear and straightforward book which I like.
There is a very interesting introduction to Tarot decks and then each card is described alongside prompts and spreads.
The journal prompts and spreads at the end of the book are thoughtful and insightful.
Tarot for Creativity is an essential book which makes the Tarot accessible and fascinating, if you are creative in any way which most of us are and interested in Tarot decks, I would recommend this book.

I honestly haven't seen a tarot book quite like this before. I thought it would be a book with prompts or craft activities, but it is much more. The author shares an approachable and modern view of tarot framing the cards to reflect on how they might represent the artist and their craft. The book includes detailed descriptions of each tarot card and prompts for writing, visual art, meditation, and other activities. Moreover, there's a mini spread for all 52 cards to explore their meanings further. The appendix offers an example of how to interpret a spread, which is especially helpful for beginners looking to enhance their tarot skills.

I appreciate the author's inclusive and practical approach to creativity. They write, "It is impossible to be human and not be creative." Both art and tarot can feel mysterious and exclusive. It's wonderful to find such a welcoming message here. I would recommend this book to any artist with a tarot practice. It is suitable for both beginners and intermediate tarot practitioners.

This book is so fun. I am just starting to get into Tarot and it includes a wealth of information, much more than I expected. I like the table of contents and how the book was organized into sections. I would recommend this to anyone who is into either Tarot or a creative, I think they would enjoy it.

I enjoy this new take on Tarot! Tarot for creativity is not really something I would have thought of, or thought to put the two together. I love when someone shares their new take or out of the box thoughts on a practice or object I use with me. The artwork was great and the book itself is helpful with breaking out of a rut or slump.

This is a book to read, re-read, and return to over and over again. The bright colors but simple palette of the deck used for illustrations adds energy and flow to what might otherwise be an overwhelming amount of information, and the fact that every card has been provided with its own context, creative prompts, and unique spread breaks up that mountain of information in an engaging and accessible way. Readers can engage with the images, the text, or the hands on activities as they choose, turning the act of reading the book into the same sort of creative journey the book is encouraging the reader to undertake in their larger life.

Ideal for a library with an active crafting or creative community, this book will circulate well with the patrons who attend library programming focused on the arts as well as with patrons who are exploring college, career, and entrepreneurial options in their lives. While perhaps not a conventional book club choice, this book would make a fascinating focus for a reading group! Thank you to NetGalley for access to this intriguing and informative arc.

As a creative and a tarot enthusiast, I was so excited to read this book. Overall I can see this being a useful book to have on my shelf. The author provides prompts and spreads for each card, along with descriptions of the cards as they relate to creative work. There's also an appendix with several general spreads for creativity. Readers can use these prompts and spreads to help solve different issues one encounters as a creative (especially creatives who are also entrepreneurs), like overcoming creative blocks or figuring out where to focus one's energy when it comes to their business/creative work. I generally agreed with the descriptions for each card, or could see why the author would interpret them that way, but there were a few that seemed kind of off-base or like a missed opportunity for a different interpretation. I also want to mention that the artwork for the cards did not speak to me at all but as we all know, art (like tarot) is subjective. Thank you to NetGalley, the publishers, and the author for an advanced copy.

Love all thing Tarot as I’ve became obsessed with it this year - and now have almost 10 decks! I always read any an all tarot books I can get

This book is a very useful reference when looking at tarot as a creative outlet and how to read the cards in that view. They do include prompts to help as well!

This book helped be connect with my tarot cards to bolster my creativity. I would highly recommend Tarot for Creativity to creative types who already read tarot or those who are looking to connect with a deck.

This is a super fun and interesting take on tarot! I loved all of the spreads and plan to use this book to enhance my creative processes moving forward!

There is so much to like about this book! I enjoyed the descriptions of each card, the creative prompts and the specific spreads for exploring how each card is a part of the creative journey. A few years ago, I picked up a copy of Mapping the Hero's Journey with Tarot by Arwen Lynch which I used to plot several stories and a couple novels. Because that book introduced me to using Tarot for creativity, I was excited to read Tarot for Creativity, and was not disappointed. It would be fun to use both books in tandem. The only thing I didn't like about about the book was the modern illustrations of the cards. The author talks about the Smith-Waite deck throughout the book, and I would have liked to see the traditional illustrations instead of the jarring colors and outlines of the modern deck illustrations. Otherwise, I liked the design and organization of the book. I would recommend Tarot for Creativity to any creative that enjoys symbolism and wants to focus on their process as much as their product. Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to be an early reader of this book.

I always love a Tarot workbook! This title is great for when you feel like you need to "unlock" your creativity after a stint. Insightful and delightful to read / work through. Suitable for anyone interested in tarot, beginners welcome! Also fun to work with multiple decks as there is a wide variety of imagery for each deck and that alone can be provoking within different types of readings! Thank you Netgalley and Chronicle Books for access to this wonderful title!

Tarot for Creativity is so incredibly helpful for all creatives. I was going through a HUGE art block & by working with this book and doing the journal prompts & some card draws, I finally snapped out of it. This book goes into each card (both Major and Minor Arcana) and describes what each one means, along with activities and spreads you can do based on each card. There’s also a section that gives you more general spreads you can do & even an example of how the author reads it! Definitely gonna add a physical copy to my shelf.

As someone who uses a tarot deck occasionally for mindfulness and intention, the idea of using it to help creativity really excites me. I really enjoyed a new analysis of each card, and what the author shared for prompts and spreads based on each card. I look forward to using this and recommending it to others!

This is a great book on Tarot. There's a page for every card, a nice, easy-to-understand description of each card and how it relates to creativity. Then my personal favorite? A diagram of the card spread, cards are numbered, and the question each one represents is literally written on the card.

I like how each of the card spreads are 1-4 cards each. Nothing complicated. Then, the back of the book has some more advanced spreads with more cards but are again, labeled with the number and the question as well as a description of the spread and how to use it.

I definitely have a couple of friends that I will be recommending this book to.

This book came to me at just the right time! I am at a crossroads in my creative practice, with many disorganized ideas and questions about where to go next. I also recently got a “create-your-own” tarot deck, and I think this book will be the perfect companion, letting me explore creative ideas while manifesting them on the cards. I’ve pre-ordered the paperback book and will eagerly get started with the ebook.

The author takes a creative, contemporary and positive approach to tarot, reframing the cards to reflect on how they might work with a creative practice. Each card has prompts (including such activities as journaling, creating an artwork reflecting the card, or even writing and filming a short script. For each card, there is a mini spread and instructions on how to pull and read it (an appendix has several more in-depth spreads).

As with tarot practice itself, when something comes into your life unexpectedly, it’s up to you to listen. Thanks to the universe for putting this in my path, and to Chronicle Books and NetGalley for the chance to review this ARC.

Full of inspiring prompts and insights, this title offers something for complete tarot beginners and advance practitioners alike.

I love the style and tone of this book.Easy to read and to put into practice! I never thought that tarot could help me unblock my creativity. My muse is back! Ideas keep flowing now,
