Gosh. I don't know that I can heartily recommend this one. For one thing, Dee invokes Romany traditions all over the place with no citations (other than maybe "a good friend told me about XYZ" or "this pair of sisters I knew" and maybe that's fine but I dunno) AND he alternates between "Romany" and a word I've been told many times is a slur, so...mmm. I dunno. Proceed with caution.

Beyond that, this book is deeply invested in gender binaries, which is a little tedious. (Lots of Card X will stand for a man and Card Y will stand for a woman with plenty of assumptions that love and marriage happen between men and women and that's that.) Not great.

There's also a lot of "this card stands for an independent dark-haired woman, probably divorced or widowed" and "that card stands for a gray-haired man who lives in the countryside and gives good advice" (similar to Dee's tarot book that I own) and while I have no grievance with people who like that and incorporate that sort of thing into their practice, it leaves me cold.

I'm not mad I read it and the list of Dee's meanings for the cards will probably be something I return to, but it's not something I'm going to urge anybody to read.
