someone who actually flipped through the pages. I could cry. 😂 I like to see the layout of different tarot books, and most people don’t show it in their videos. thank you for doing that. Also, I like your Baby Got Back song I started dancing 😎
Great choices! Would you consider doing a video about your favorite books that come with decks? Some give wonderful insight to the meanings of the cards, even though the decks themselves aren’t ones I would use frequently. (Mythic Tarot comes to mind)
Amy, this is a FANTASTIC idea, I do have a video coming out in a few weeks about Why to Read the Guidebook, and I give a few examples of companion books that I love that have come with decks. But I will definitely film this idea in the future :)
Lol I literally just ordered Your Tarot Court for myself, as I've been learning tarot for a while and I have a few of the most recommended books already, but I wanted to get deeper into my studies. I started before these reviews existed on UA-cam. My 78 Degrees is purple. I'm now looking up reviews for some books to buy for a friend who is getting into tarot but seems frustrated at not "getting it" because I don't think she has any of the good beginner books. What a coincidence for me to see that the video I turned to for recommendations is from the author of the book I just ordered! I am now subscribed to your channel.
As always, your posts are so dangerous to my bank account and my amazon wish list just keeps on growing! :D I have 78 degrees of Tarot Wisdom as one of my first books (yours was actually my very first tarot only based book). The funny thing is that when I have it out my 8 year old son who has non-verbal autism always steals it and can't stop looking at it!
Keep an eye out in the future :) I'll definitely make a part two to this! Heres my video on advanced witchcraft books if you so desire: ua-cam.com/video/LD-MU5OaWKk/v-deo.html
Bennebell's book was the first one I bought! Needless to say way freaking over my head. Going to look it again since it's been a few years. Thank you for the reviews!
I really need to get some of these books and start reading! My favourite tarot book by far is All of Our Stories but Little Red Tarot. I treat books as sacred but this one hit so hard I actually started underlining passages. It’s the book I’ve found easiest to relate to my life.
Thank you ❤️ * would love a part 2. I just love the history and mixed mythologies of the cards. As an 'intermediate beginner' I find knowing the symbols and their historical meanings helps me to remember the cards better
You're so welcome, I'll definitely do a part two to this :) I agree, the more you read and learn so many facets linked to each card the better your knowledge of the tarot becomes
Wonderful video. I just got into tarot reading and was overwhelm by the amount of books out there. This list help me alot. I love it when you introduce your book in there as well, make me know I'm putting trust into the right person.
In my personal experience Vincent Pitisci is the go to author for Tarot his understanding of how the Tarot actually works in my opinion is unparalleled 🙏 His newest book Bare Bones Tarot is definitely a must have 🙏
@@Ethony thanks and with that said I also don’t think I’ve missed very many of your videos either!! I follow you across many platforms, here, TikTok and Instagram just to name a few! I love your attitude and approach to the Tarot/Spiritual community it’s something I wish others would adopt. You clearly know what you’re doing and in my opinion you are a leader in the field but still don’t exclude anyone I’ve never seen you pretend to have the market cornered on Tarot and that is what I think makes you and Vincent such valuable parts of the Tarot community 🙏
Heck it, Ethony. Hi there, long time watcher new subscriber. I ordered FIVE books off this list (including yours) 😅. Not to mention already owning at least one of them, and many others that I haven’t even opened yet! 🙃🙃
I love your Tarot Court book! Your explanations instantly helped me feel more connected to the cards from the first few chapters and now I don’t panic as much when they appear. It would be amazing if there was audible version of this and your other books, you have such a soothing voice!
Thank you so much Deanne, your kind words mean so much to me :) I worked extremely hard on that book! Sadly I didn't publish the book, Llewellyn did so I would have to discuss with them an audio book version. Thanks for the suggestion! 🐝
Ethony, I swear sometimes you are a New Yorker full force 🙌 ❤ your expressions and music choices 🎵 Love and appreciate your wisdom. Expanding my Tarot business so.ty for ur refreshing very smart advise 🎴 🙏 🔮
Fantastic list! I have a couple of the books on this list and have added more to my cart. I would love a part II, and also have you read the book Tarot Interactions by Deborah Lipp. I am looking to pick up a few more books on Tarot and this one peaked my interest. Wondering if you have read this and what you think of it?
Thanks so much for watching Nicole! So glad I was able to add to your growing list of knowledge and learning!! I haven't read that book but I will add it to my list :) thanks for the suggestion! 🐝🐝
Ethony, darling, thank you for pointing out that some of these amazing books are available on Audible! It would literally never cross my mind, assuming that Audible is reserved for mainstream titles only! I recently got into book listening as my eyes can only take that much of reading! Once again big thank yous! PS: My Tarot staple is The Big Book of Tarot by Joan Bunning mentioned in your video.
Thank you for this list! I'm just finishing up Seventy-Eight Degrees and am looking ahead to see what should be my next read. Would love a top five to help narrow it down! ;)
And so, my wish list once again grows... 😂 I'll be at a bookstore today and I'll see if any of these are available. And yes, please do a part 2 for books! I'm a book fanatic and I am always looking for something to expand my tarot knowledge. Thank you! 🥰
Perfect, Ethony! As usual, might I add 🥰 I’m waiting for Benebel’s book to be restocked by Amazon.it, it’s definitely on my wishlist - now I’ll add a couple more 🥰
i almost missed benebell's 3rd edition of SKT tarot. i was just waiting for her notification on her channel which never came. and her name pop up when i was looking for lenormand cards. and sure enough her blogs is very detail. and in so doing found out that she is already taking preorder since March.
Loved this Ethony! I have a few books but not any of these and I’m just now beginning my tarot journey. Well my question to you hun is there were a few books you had mentioned that I want but at the moment I’m only going to get purchase one. Tarot for Yourself, Holistic Tarot, Tarot Deciphered, and The Big Book of Tarot they all caught my attention so in your honest opinion which one would be absolutely perfect for me to get to absolutely teach me anything and everything about each card ? I love a book that describes in wonderful detail all about the cards, elements, different type of readings, the history, symbols numerology and maybe different spreads! So honey if you could just give me an idea of the absolute best one I know it’s hard because you love them all but I’m only getting one so just your opinion would mean so much and it’s greatly appreciated as well ! ✨💫🌟
Thank you for showing your books Ethony. I have six of the books you discussed (including yours), and will soon be the proud owner of 2 more thanks to watching this video 😉. I have just ordered Beyond the Little White Book and The Big Book of Tarot. I love your Bubbliness, you have just got my day off to a great start - Thank You ❣ 🙏😀
I have the first four and adore them. They are regular references for me. I likely need to check out the rest of the list! Have been curious about “Tarot Deciphered!”
once i've read benebell's book, i dont see any need for other books. i basically just have my library order them for me and i read the small book that comes with my cards like the one from linestrider tarot, apokalipsis, and the greenwitch tarot.
Becca, ANY of these books are going to be great for beginners, I would definitely lean more towards Tarot for Yourself by Mary K Greer, Holistic Tarot By Benebell Wen, or Going Beyond the Little White Book by Liz Worth
“The Tarot Revealed” A Beginner’s Guide by Paul Fenton-Smith is another fantastic book which I use all the time. Easy to read with down to earth anecdotes.
Hi Ethony, lovely Book collection, I have some of them, and my favorites so far are Benebell's book and Tarot for yourself by Mary K. On another note, i was wondering if you could recommend a book about shadow work related to tarot ? I am been seaching for a book that can help me to use tarot for shadow work. Thank you😍😍❤❤
Thanks so much Farah! Benebell writes amazing books! The only book on tarot and shadow work I can find is www.amazon.ca/Tarot-Shadow-Work-Using-Symbols/dp/1567184081 i haven't worked with this book so I am unable to vouch for it.
What Tarot books are your favourite? Let me know in the comments! Were any of these books your first reads? Blessed 🐝
Currently? YOURS! Absolutely loving it!
Just bought holistic tarot
i loved your energy and your rap skills xd
someone who actually flipped through the pages. I could cry. 😂 I like to see the layout of different tarot books, and most people don’t show it in their videos. thank you for doing that. Also, I like your Baby Got Back song I started dancing 😎
Star, that's what I'm here for my darling 🐝🐝 I agree, I like to see inside the book to get a feel for the layout before I buy!!
Great choices! Would you consider doing a video about your favorite books that come with decks? Some give wonderful insight to the meanings of the cards, even though the decks themselves aren’t ones I would use frequently. (Mythic Tarot comes to mind)

Please recommend a book for me as well with deep knowledge

Hahah, I don't try to ruin people's bank accounts but it just happens. . . Oh I love that you have my book, thanks so much for supporting me!! 🐝🐝
Please do more on this subject!!! Please! I love this video and it came just at the right time. Thank you so much for everything 💜
Keep an eye out in the future :) I'll definitely make a part two to this! Heres my video on advanced witchcraft books if you so desire: ua-cam.com/video/LD-MU5OaWKk/v-deo.html
Thank you. I've been looking for advice on Tarot books to read. So happy I found your video.
I would LOVE a part 2 this is awesome! 78 Degrees was the 1st tarot book I ever read! I also have Holistic Tarot too!! 😃
100% I will do a part two, keep an eye out :) What a great first book to read!
Blessed 🐝
@@Ethony I just bought your book on court cards I’m so excited to read it!! 😃
I've been saving up for Holistic Tarot - but now that I've found your channel I have more to add to the list lol
Thanks so much for the list! Getting back into tarot and this 78 degree book is the BEST! It is definitely what I needed to refresh my memory lol
Bennebell's book was the first one I bought! Needless to say way freaking over my head. Going to look it again since it's been a few years. Thank you for the reviews!
I really need to get some of these books and start reading! My favourite tarot book by far is All of Our Stories but Little Red Tarot. I treat books as sacred but this one hit so hard I actually started underlining passages. It’s the book I’ve found easiest to relate to my life.
Thank you ethony. You are one of my faves now. Glad I found you recently 😁
I'm so glad you found me too!!! Blessed 🐝 thanks for watching :)

Although I really like 78 degrees of wisdom.. . I am obsessed with the holistic tarot! I actually read everything and is simply amazing!
Woohooo, I agree, what an amazingly well done book. blessed 🐝

I can't learn enough about Tarot.
What a fantastic suggestion!! Learning the Tarot is a never ending journey, I agree 🐝
I was literally just thinking of getting more tarot books!
I must've read your mind ;)
Woohoo! I have 3 of your must haves! Love them and they are well tabbed, marked up and used! Now to find these other lovelies……thank you Ethony!
You're crushing it Barbara!! Woohoo, time to go find some new books 🐝
Would love to add Radical Tarot by Charlie Claire Burgess to this list. Definitely a must read!
Fantastic list! I have a couple of the books on this list and have added more to my cart. I would love a part II, and also have you read the book Tarot Interactions by Deborah Lipp. I am looking to pick up a few more books on Tarot and this one peaked my interest.

Thanks so much for watching Nicole! So glad I was able to add to your growing list of knowledge and learning!! I haven't read that book but I will add it to my list :) thanks for the suggestion! 🐝🐝
I have the Lipp book & like it, not one I see often but a good addition and companion book IMO
This is an amazing video. How hard this is to read all those books. Big big books. Thank you for reviewing both decks and books. 💖🌟💐
SO MANY BOOKS, take your time and don't allow yourself to get overwhelmed :) you got this!!!
Love how jolly you are!!!! Subscribed :)!!!
Thanks so much!! Welcome to the 🐝 🐝 Tarot family! :)

I love your personality 😂 subscribed
I have the first four and adore them. They are regular references for me. I likely need to check out the rest of the list! Have been curious about “Tarot Deciphered!”
Love that! Would definitely recommend Tarot deciphered, definitely a harder read but well worth it :)
once i've read benebell's book, i dont see any need for other books. i basically just have my library order them for me and i read the small book that comes with my cards like the one from linestrider tarot, apokalipsis, and the greenwitch tarot.
Fantastic, yes Benebell's books are amazing. And yes the LWB is always helpful
Are there any major differences between the newer version of 78 degrees versus the older one with the purple cover?
Hi Alyssa, No they are the same in most ways. The new one (orange color) has a new introduction but the bulk of the book text is the same
I would love a part two!
Keep an eye out for a part two :)
Which ones are best for beginners?
Becca, ANY of these books are going to be great for beginners, I would definitely lean more towards Tarot for Yourself by Mary K Greer, Holistic Tarot By Benebell Wen, or Going Beyond the Little White Book by Liz Worth
“The Tarot Revealed” A Beginner’s Guide by Paul Fenton-Smith is another fantastic book which I use all the time. Easy to read with down to earth anecdotes.

So much goodness.
