"Cherry Gilchrist's Tarot Triumphs: Using the Tarot Trumps for Divination and Inspiration is an excellent book for beginners, who want to learn to use The Tarot of Marseilles for divination. Unlike most books for beginners, her book is firmly grounded in the actual history of the Tarot, and the fact that the trump cards originated in Renaissance Italy as illustrations related to triumphal parades.
