Book Review: Tarot For Troubled Times
By Shaheen Miro & Theresa Reed
(Weiser Books, July 2019)
Tarot for Troubled Times by Shaheen Miro and Theresa Reed is a highly
relevant book, and it drops this week. This
book is an extraordinary guide for readers who want a deeper dive, but it’s publication also hits exactly at the moment when our world needs it the
most. Worldwide politics are surreal and terrifying; the threat of war is
constant, mass shootings and terrorism are rampant; addiction and depression
are major challenges faced by thousands,
if not millions. So yeah…”troubled times” is an understatement.
This
book also lines up in perfect synchronicity with a global uptick in interest
for anything and everything metaphysical.
Pretty much anything witchy or “woo woo” is downright trendy at the moment, and of course that includes Tarot. In factTarot leads the
pack. Currently, everyone and their fifteen year
old sister are hoarding new decks, smudge bundles and rose quartz, declaring
themselves expert Tarot readers.
This book,
however, is written by real experts:
the depth of knowledge here and the way it’s imparted are simply un-paralleled.
Both authors are highly respected
metaphysicians, each with a yards-long long list of talents and accomplishments, which is what
makes this book so compelling and comprehensive.
We first met Shaheen Miro at
the Denver Tarot Convention in 2015, where he taught an incredible class on tasseography, more commonly known as tea
leaf reading. He’s a psychic, a card reader, a deck creator (The Lunar Nomad Oracle Deck) an energy worker and intuitive coach. Follow
this link to an interview we did with Shaheen for more info on his process:
Theresa Reed aka The Tarot Lady is so well known, she
probably doesn’t need an introduction… but just in case: she’s a driving force in the global Tarot community, and an expert on several levels. She’s
a crackerjack reader, an author and prolific blogger, an astrologer, and a business
mentor who really knows her stuff. She was recently the keynote speaker at The Readers
Studio, the largest Tarot event in the United States; she also hosts a popular podcast and teaches workshops and seminars worldwide. Click this link to read our interview with her:
The
plethora of Tarot spreads is sweeping
and unique, including layouts created
specifically for self-knowledge as well
as for grief, addiction and relapses, and for those dark
times when you feel lost and untethered.
Tarot For Troubled Times really lives up to it’s subtitle: “Confront
your shadow, heal your self, transform the world”.
We highly recommend this thoughtful-and
thought-provoking book. It’s must for any serious reader and those who aspire
to be.
