'Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or a tarot newcomer, this book is not merely a guide. It's a revelation, a compass, empowering its readers to navigate life's tumultuous waters with unmatched grace, resilience, and purpose.' - Mat Auryn, bestselling author of Psychic Witch

We are not always dealt the gentlest cards in life. Sometimes we're dealt a very difficult hand. At some point all of us will be confronted by life's inevitable tough passages: the loss of loved ones, a health crisis or illness, the endless thrum of national and global tragedies - as well as the empty nest, the loss of a job, the loss of a relationship, the loss of youth.

When we're going through a difficult time, tarot can be a source of comfort, catharsis, healing, and connection to a power greater than ourselves. Doing a tarot reading can help you tune into your instincts and make better choices. It can help you think clearly during those moments when nothing feels simple or clear. And when you realise, 'I have three options, and frankly, all of them are lousy and this whole situation is just really sad', tarot can help you find acceptance and bear the pain with a little more grace.

But even in difficult times, we can find purpose and hope. With tarot as a tool, we can make wiser choices and steer things in a more positive direction. In this guidebook, Theresa provides
