Predicting Your Future: The Complete Book of Divination
by Jane Struther

This is an excellent beginners guide to the many forms of divination. I had been looking for sometime for a very simple and straightforward guide to the tarot. Struthers give a simple as well as a more in-depth explanation of the Major and Minor Arcana as well as a diagram of many popular tarot spreads. I love the fact that she stresses not adhering strictly to the description the guidebooks give you but to follow your intuition as well in deriving meaning from the cards. She also covers many popular forms of divination such as astrology, palmistry, cartomancy, and numerology. All in all, a great book for anyone looking for a well-written and concise explanation of these subjects.
