Each card is printed alongside its traditional meaning and symbolism, with running notes on the history of tarot, cartomancy and playing cards, so the hour you spend filling in a card is also the hour you learn it. Keegan suggests treating the coloring itself as a meditative way of studying the deck, and it works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver fifty line illustrations from the 53-card \u003cem\u003eIlluminated Tarot\u003c\/em\u003e deck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e112 pages, paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSturdy pages suited to colored pencils, crayons or markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional meaning and symbolism printed with each card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes on the history of tarot, cartomancy and playing cards throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBy Caitlin Keegan · published April 2, 2024 · 0.55 x 9.92 x 7.64 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37\"\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWork one card at a time and read its meaning before you choose a single colour.
