Publisher's summary

Though tarot is often thought of as a tool for divination and fortune-telling, it also has deep roots in spirituality and psychology. For those who know how to see and listen, the cards hold the potential to help us better navigate the full spectrum of the human experience.

In Tarot for Change, Jessica Dore divulges years of hard-won secrets about how to work with tarot to better understand ourselves and live in alignment with what’s precious. Dore shows readers how to choose a deck, interpret images, and build a relationship with the cards, while also demonstrating how the mythic imagery of tarot supports modern therapeutic concepts like mindfulness, acceptance, and compassion. Her reflections on each of the 78 cards are a vibrant tapestry that weaves together ideas from psychology, behavioral science, spirituality, and old stories, breathing new language into ancient wisdoms about what it means to be human.

This is as much a book for those who are new to tarot as it is for those who have worked with the cards for years. And it's a book for anyone interested in exploring what it means to experience joy, heartbreak, wonder, stagnation, grief, loneliness, love. A book of secrets, symbols, and stories, Tarot for Change is a charm for remembering that our problems are not new, we are never alone, and whether we know it or not, we are always in a process of change.

This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF of the from the tarot deck.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"Tarot for Change is an instant classic, a must-have for every tarot enthusiast, and a manifesto for insightful living. Jessica Dore is a lighthouse whose wisdom permeates every page and a teacher who brings to life her subject with undeniable skill and depth.” (Chani Nicholas, astrologer and author of You Were Born for This)

“Jessica Dore has replicated (in wonderfully literary book form) the most expansive, juicy, intuitive, and transformative tarot session. She’s integrated so much wisdom from all kinds of traditions to make the spiritual feel splendidly accessible and the universal feel warmly personal. For people who think they’re not spiritual enough for tarot, Dore has created a very useful psychological framework from the card’s lessons, with plenty of research and insight to back it up. For those who feel a little too woo-woo for psychology, she’s presented the concepts with such artistry and soul that all will feel welcome. And that’s the gift that Dore has given us in Tarot for Change: the gift of feeling more welcome to the tarot, more welcome on our healing journey, and more welcome in our own lives.” (Mari Andrew, New York Times best-selling author of Am I There Yet? and My Inner Sky)

Tarot for Change is the very best kind of tarot book: one that contains magical hidden depths, and rewards careful readers with truly astounding wisdom and generosity. Jessica Dore combines ancient spirituality with modern psychology to share insights that feel both timeless and brand new. Tarot for Change will teach you about tarot, but also about yourself, and all the joy, heartache, and mystery of being human.” (Claire Comstock-Gay, author of Madame Clairevoyant’s Guide to the Stars)

Insightful Read

I have read tarot for years and I was beyond excited to get a more logical and culturally accepted way to view the cards. I did struggle with a lot of the author's interpretations, as she warned many esoteric traditionalist would. Sometimes I would have a knee jerk reaction to an interpretation and my initial reaction would be to dismiss it. Forcing myself to find the connection between how the author came to her interpretation of the card with the traditional meaning of the card, added another layer of depth to my personal arcana interpretations. Additionally, I found this book very helpful in understanding a lot of the why's of our human nature.

Loved the book so much that I purchased a hard copy

Book was everything I was looking for. I am a complete beginner in tarot reading and have gotten some books that were a little to difficult to understand for me, so I was very happy when I found Tarot for Change. I found it first on audible and enjoyed it so much that I purchased a hard copy. If you are new to tarot cards and looking for a book to begin, I highly recommend this book/audible.

fantastic tarot book

A great book to develop the ability to interpret tarot cards. I kept a notebook with notes on the cards. my ability to read the cards have improved a ton with this book. Particularly suited to using the cards as a tool for self reflection.

Love This Audiobook

I absolutely love how each tarot card is explored through a psycho-social, philosophical, and spiritual lens, it’s a very informative audiobook and one of my favorite depictions of the cards.

Best Tarot book yet

I gobble up tarot books. I'm insatiable. I've probably read over 200 by now; it's preposterous. I also love Jungian perspectives, Taoism, Buddhist teachings, and fairy tales. And this book is my TOP favorite. Somehow, Jessica Dore had managed to wrap up ALL my favorite things into a compassionate, smart, funny, deeply insightful and practical book. Her open-minded approach could be liberating and inspiring for beginners, but certainly fresh and original for those of us who have read for years and are still searching for new ways to relate to our deck and this mysterious practice. I'm so grateful for this book. (PS-- love her gentle, warm, soulful voice as well)

More than I expected

This book is not just a dive into the cards meanings. It is a mixture of religion, mythology, history, stories, and therapy. It is much more than what I was expecting.

I had to look up some things and some of it made me go down different rabbit holes of research. I also feel like I have to reread this book and have a highlighter and take notes. It has a lot of valuable information to take in and good references to other books to check out.

Overall, I enjoyed it; and this is coming from a person who has resisted therapy all my life, but has recently come to see the value in it. Many of these words hit home and spoke to me deeply; such as the section on the queen of swords. It is definitely worth a read. 😉
