Beginners Guide to Tarot (Sharman-Caselli) - CARDS AND BOOK SET
Juliet Sharman-Burke (6) - Tarot expert
Juliet Sharman-Burke was born in Nairobi, Kenya and has spent over 20 years practising astrology and tarot and has written a number of books on these topics, both for beginners and the more advanced. Her fascination with the tarot began in the early 1970s, but it wasn’t until 1976, when she did a course at the Franklin School in London, that she decided to focus more intently on her passion for the tarot, as well as her interest in psychology and astrology. She has successfully combined all these interests into her life and work, through teaching, working and writing books.
Juliet qualified as an analytic psychotherapist and runs a private practice in the city of London. Alongside this, she’s taught and supervised at the Centre for Psychological Astrology since it began in June 1983. She currently runs the administration and organisation sides of the Centre.
Juliet has gone on to write a number of highly acclaimed books on astrology and tarot subjects, plus a book of stories for children. She’s co-authored a couple of titles with Liz Greene, including The Mythic Tarot and The Mythic Journey, the former of which included a tarot deck and was based on Greek myths.
She’s also co-created the Sharman-Caselli Tarot Deck, along with Italian illustrator Giovanni Caselli. Originally produced as part of The Beginner’s Guide to Tarot, the deck has since been released on its own and uses more traditional symbolism on the cards, which is drawn from a mixture of influences, including the Waite, Visconti and Marseilles decks.
Tarot Cards (61) -
The Tarot is a specific system that has 78 cards in total. There are 4 suits (referred to as the minor arcana) and 22 other cards (referred to as the major arcana). Each card represents a specific energy. And each card, through the picture on the card, is trying to help you to feel the specific energy of that card. The reason there are so many different kinds of Tarot decks is that Different Tarot decks may present this energy in different pictorial form. We have lots of articles on Tarot.

By Len Leaper View ProfileThis guide to Tarot is in the form of a book and especially designed cards. The cards are quite wonderful, they incorporate the innate meaning and feeling attributed to the card and suit, the cards are well designed and fairly uncluttered, allowing the reader to see the essence rather than the detail of the card. I do like the artwork very much; it manages to be modern but retains the feeling of age. The deck is very pleasing to use.
The book is excellent; the learner is encouraged to look at the cards and is given an overview of the suit. Afterwards the reader is taken through each card one at a time. The cards are reproduced in the book and key points of the artwork are shown with the meaning of the representation. At the end of each chapter is a spread to illustrate a reading, using just the one suit. Later this is further developed to use Major Arcana and eventually all the deck. I have to say this is actually by far the best book about Tarot for beginners I have found, there is enough here for the reader to find his or her way and thus develop familiarity and intuition. I have no reservations whatsoever about strongly recommending this book to anyone interested in learning Tarot; I have found no other reading material that comes close to helping a beginner as well as this book.
By Brenda Nottingham The cards I purchased were for a gift so they havent been used yet, but I was delighted with the transaction, vey quick,well packaged and I will most def use this site again, and highly recomend it. many thanks.
By Laura, Stoke I got this book and card set yesterday and I'm very impressed. They come together in a box that's handy for storing them in and both the cards and the book are good quality. I'm glad I chose these cards as for someone totally new to tarot they're clearly illustrated and it's easy to see the meanings in each card. The book gives detailed meanings but not so detailed that it's overwhelming, and overall the author encourages the reader to use their intuition and to link the situations and feelings expressed in the cards to things they've experienced in their own life. If you find these cards appealing then go for it; I followed my instinct when choosing these and I'm glad I did. Great service from this site again with very fast delivery.
By Anna, Newcastle I purchased the beginners guide to tarot on 29th April 2009 and they arrived on the 30th April 2009 I was very impressed with how fast they arrived! excellent service, I have already read most of the book and done a couple of readings on myself and found this very easy to follow and interperate the meanings! If you are looking to buy your first set of tarot cards I would recommend these as a must have!
By Maurice An above average starter deck with superb imagery. The book I thought was a bit Intense for a beginner, but very informative concerning the deck!
By Bannin, Reading This is a fantastic set especially for the beginner. I had put off getting involved with Tarot, being nervous of its infamous reputation but eventually fascination with the imagery and meanings behind it meant I took the plunge. This was a fantastic choice - non-threatening, easy to connect with, FABULOUS book (192 pages) and A5 size so that you can actually read it without going blind and contains lots of valuable information and tips on enhancing your intuition. I am very impressed with this set. The artwork is nice and clear and the cards feel nice. I would have liked a more jazzy reverse to the cards instead of the plain red but other than that, they are very easy to get to know. Well recommended.
By Michael, Tyne & Wear I recommend these highly for beginners and advanced readers alike. The book that comes with the deck is well written and very helpful. For any reader, the card images are excellent and easy to read intuitively.
By Leanne Morton, Southampton What a fantastic set! The beautiful cards are so easy to read intuatively, and the well-written book also backs up and adds more to my own interpretations. Everyone should have a set!
By Katie E A very easy but complex tarot pack. I have tried alot of cards, books and packs from the tarot family, but have never really connected with any of them. This set make learning the tarot easy to learn but uses much detail. Holisticshop is where I will shop from now on, a truly awesome site. Katie E
By Nicola Harris, Birmingham This is an absolutely FANTASTIC set! I'd been searching for something just like this but had only been able to find 'toy' packs with really unhelpful and undetailed instructions. But this is amazing! Each card is described in detail and I can't wait till I've mastered all four suits and the Major Arcana; then I can get into some serious reading. If you're someone just starting out, like me, then buy this set.
