Keep this one close by—it might quickly become the most used book in your tarot library.” —Theresa Reed, author of The Cards You’re Dealt “Meg Jones Wall lays out the art of tarot spreads with clarity, heart, and precision. Tarot Spreads: How to Read Them, Create Them & Revise Them offers readers the tools to move beyond one-card pulls and into intentional, customized layouts that bring structure, nuance, and insight to any reading. Rooted in lived experience and crafted with care, this book is an essential resource for tarot readers looking to deepen their practice and design spreads that truly speak. It’s authentic, accessible, and a testament to Meg’s gift for teaching through her writing.” —Mat Auryn, author of The Psychic Art of Tarot and Psychic Witch “Meg Jones Wall’s Tarot Spreads offers something crucial and unexpected beyond beginner books and the innumerable spreads that proliferate the internet: a balance of freedom and stability. While ‘how to read tarot’ books may tell you what the cards mean and spreads inform which questions to ask, Wall leaves those largely open to your discretion and instead digs into how and why tarot works. For many of us, especially neurodivergent folks, we need more specific operationalized guidance between ‘ask a question,’ ‘draw cards,’ and ‘interpret the meaning’ to feel secure that we know what we’re doing. This book offers exactly that, going into particular depth about what makes a good question and how, when, and why (or why not) to use a spread for a reading. For certain this is a great new intro to tarot; I think many seasoned readers will find that some unexplored or overly rigid aspects of their early learning are addressed helpfully in this book as well.” —Lane Smith, author of 78 Acts of Liberation: Tarot to Transform Our World
