Talking with the Tarot

Conversations with Your 78 New Best Friends

Dish with Your Deck

Reading tarot will be as easy as talking to your best friend with this beginner-friendly guide to understanding every card. Samantha Rose Hicks presents the conversational approach to tarot, which helps you form real, heartfelt connections to the 78 individuals in your deck.

Hicks introduces you to every card in the deck and shares the four important questions to ask yourself with each draw. She also shares exercises to deepen your connections, such as imagining yourself within the card's scenario, and questions to ask when a card is reversed.

A conversation once changed Hicks's life—now she passes that experience on to you. With her unique approach, you’ll no longer have to rely on standard, impersonal meanings. You'll know each card like an old friend who makes you feel safe, seen, and understood.
