About
• Explores the living wisdom of the tarot, based on the author's more than 40 years' experience as a professional tarot reader
• Shares stories from the author's client readings to show how each card tells a story and how it only takes a small amount of familiarity to decipher a world full of meaning in the cards
• Shows how to use the tarot to grow your strengths, identify your weaknesses, conquer problems, and move on from painful situations
As Julia Gordon-Bramer reveals in profound detail, the miracle of tarot is how the right cards show up, time and time again, to provide guidance or symbolically illustrate your story-whether you believe in the tarot or not.
In these real-life tales of tarot wisdom, Gordon-Bramer explores the modern applications and the living wisdom of the tarot, based on her more than 40 years' experience as a professional tarot reader. Sharing stories from client readings and her own spiritual journey, she shows how to intuitively, logically, and sometimes playfully glean the meaning of each card that appears and integrate its powerful spiritual lessons for deeper understanding, guidance, and personal healing. She compares reading the tarot to dream analysis, explaining how the Major Arcana, such as the Fool, the Magician, the Lovers, and the Star, represent the key players and milestones in life, the sacred adventure from birth to death. She explains how each card tells its own story, often revealing subconscious beliefs and motivations through its colors, numbers, symbols, and pictures.
Allowing you to make the leap from an abstract understanding of the tarot to actually working intuitively with the cards, this book shows how, when used as a life-transforming tool to awaken and tame the subconscious, the tarot offers a way to grow your strengths, identify your weaknesses, and conquer problems as you journey through life. Julia Gordon-Bramer is a professional tarot card reader, award-winning writer and poet, Sylvia Plath scholar, former professor for the Graduate Writing Program at Lindenwood University, and host of the radio show/videocast/ podcast Mystic Fix. She has appeared on MTV, Nickelodeon, and many television and radio shows to share her tarot talents and scholarship. Recognized as one of St. Louis's Top Ten Psychics (Psychic St. Louis) and St. Louis's Best Fortune-Teller (CBS Radio), she is the author of several books, including Fixed Stars Govern a Life: Decoding Sylvia Plath. She lives in St. Louis, Missouri. BUT FIRST . . . An Introduction

Index "This is by far one of the best books I've ever read on the tarot. Julia gives readers a rare glimpse into the inner world of a professional tarot reader through entertaining stories, fascinating client case histories, and helpful exercises. Her insight and years of expertise will help you learn the symbolism contained within the tarot and how to best utilize the tarot. I highly recommend Tarot Life Lessons." "Julia Gordon-Bramer is my go-to tarot reader (affectionately, 'my oracle') and lifelong friend. Her insight, both profound and precise, has been a guiding light for me and many of my friends. I am excited for anyone to experience her artful wisdom, whether through this book, a reading, or her next magical offering." "Tarot Life Lessons is as entertaining as it is educational. If you know nothing or very little about tarot, by the time you finish the book, you'll know a great deal. If you're a seasoned reader, you'll find fresh insights to expand your 'tarot brain.'
