Complete Book of Tarot: A friend suggested I compile my tarot notes in book form, which resulted in Tarot Plain and Simple (1996). My continued interest in the shared symbolism of astrology and tarot eventually led to a second book, Tarot Beyond the Basics (2014). Because of the popularity of the first two books, Llewellyn asked me to write this one, my third about the tarot. The reader will notice the influence of Freud and Jung as well as my background in psychiatry and psychology in the way I approach the cards.
