Personal Review: Tarot for Self Discovery (Special Topics in
Tarot) by Nina Lee Braden
Nina Braden presents an intriguing and useful book to help you get the
most out of your tarot deck - no matter which deck you choose to use. The
essence of this book is the link between the tarot images and the
archetypical or symbolic language of our subconcious. As Nina explains,
"Tarot cards can be extremely useful in helping us to decipher the
messages from our subconsciou since the pictures on the cards speak in
the language of the subconcious - the language of symbols and pictures
and imagination."

Nina offers 47 exercises that will help you to learn the nuances and
messages held within your tarot
deck while guiding you in personal exploration. The goal of this book is to
help you use your tarot cards as a portal into the mysterious yet richly
enlightening realms of your inner being. The author suggests that users
combine the exercises with concise journaling about each exercise
session. This reinforcing activity helps to extend the benefits of the tarot
work plus gives room for further self discovery. If kept in a book, it also
provides a written history of your personal journey with the cards.
The exercises are presented within four categories: Easy, Intermediate,
Special Occasions and Situations and Self Discovery exercises. The
themes of these exercises are diverse, ranging from affirmative activities
such as: "A Spirituality of My Own," "Let My Sun Shine," and "Watching
Over Me" to more painful and explorative ones like: "Lost in the
Wasteland," "Show me the Meaning of Being Lonely," and "Lessons from
Misfortune."
Nina provides several exercises to help the reader explore relationships - a
key area in most tarot reading sessions. Exercises focus on relationships
with parents, lovers, spouses, children, friends, and ourselves. Some
examples include the "My Mother, My Self," "Just You and Me," and
"Dream Lover." As well, other exercises focus on life and our experience of
it, including our relationships with schedules, our automobiles, abundance,
vacations, responsibilities and organization.
The exercises in this book offer a wonderful and comprehensive system for
self exploration. Doing all of the exercises would indeed demand time and
energy to move through each and every exercise. Nina concludes by
offering guidance in writing unique personalized self-discovery exercises.
The whole point is to learn more about ourselves and what makes us tick.
As Nina so eloquently concludes," For me, self discovery is about
discovering the truth in the middle and about learning to live life in balance.
Sometimes self-discovery is painful, showing me my flaws, weaknesses,
and mistakes. Sometimes self-discovery is full of joy and thanksgiving,
showing me blessings and gifts and strengths that I had ignored or
believed nonexistent."
