Synopsis:

Using her BIT (Back in Time) Method of working with the Tarot, Janet Boyer helps readers gain insight and understanding of the present-and ultimately their futures-by exploring their past. Gone are arcane and hard-to-understand explanations of Tarot symbols. Boyer offers an intuitive approach that allows readers to "feel the truth" of the cards as they relate to the specific parts of their lives. In a nutshell, BIT:

• Asks readers to think about a specific incident in their past
• Pick several cards from any Tarot deck
• Connect the elements of the card with the elements in their past

The Back in Time Tarot Book draws on forty different Tarot decks, pop culture, and over a dozen of Tarot's best-known writers and artists who relate their experiences with the BIT Method, as well as readers' own snapshot memories of their past, to experience Tarot in a fresh new way. The book is filled with examples, exercises, and tips that help the reader understand the Tarot and how going back in time can help them look forward and shape their futures. Whether readers are brand new to Tarot or experienced Tarot users, they will find that The Back in Time Tarot Book offers a fresh, fun, and very readable approach to experiencing the power of Tarot in their lives.

The Back in Time Tarot Book provides all 78 images of the Universal Waite Tarot in the back of the book, which means this is the first Tarot book that you can begin to use even without a deck in hand.
