Tarot-Inspired Book Recommendations – II
A note on the deck I'm using: It is The Fountain Tarot by Jonathan Saiz, Jason Gruhl, and Andi Todaro. I first saw this deck in the video by Ariel Bissett that originally inspired me to do my own tarot book recommendation series.
What a draw! All Coin Court cards. (I swear I shuffled.) Court cards have strong personalities and moods, patterns and states of being. Coin cards are related to the earth element and focus on practical matters like health, money, the senses, and physical experiences. Since these cards are so closely related, the books I've picked will have some recurring themes throughout as well.
Queen of Coins - luxury, self-confidence, resourcefulness
She is a self-confident, sensual woman surrounded by lush, natural beauty. She loves beauty but only if it plays a functional role in her life. She wants you to "Trust in your own abilities and embrace your unique way of being in this world."
Lessons from Madame Chic by Jennifer L. Scott
This book is all about curating a simple yet glamorous lifestyle the French way: focusing on individual beauty, accepting and embracing so-called flaws, and not getting caught up in fads. I think this non-fiction book is a guide that the Queen of Coins herself would recommend to embody her pleasurable style of grace.
Knight of Coins - organized work, practicality, dependability, a serious but pleasant demeanor
He signifies action, idealism, and dedication. He is methodical, plodding, and practical - almost fussy. Gathering facts and details keeps the unexpected at bay. Though he may appear uptight, he is consistent, dependable, and highly effective.
The Maid - by Nita Prose
The descriptions of the Knight of Coins reminds me a lot of the main character in this fiction mystery novel. Molly is a very diligently clean maid at an upscale hotel. She is very neat, scheduled, and reliable. Though others may find her odd, her quirks become quite handy when a murder mystery in the hotel needs solving.
King of Coins - self-reliance, practicality and caution, material wealth
Traditional values and hard work keep him grounded and successful, giving him material wealth. He hates risk and cares little for what's popular. Instead, order and common sense rule.The Total Money Makeover - by Dave Ramsey
This book is a very clearly defined non-fiction guidebook for how to get your money in order to set you up for a financially stable future. The rules and steps are concrete, which may come off as stubborn to some, but are meant to be followed for optimal success. Dave Ramsey has put his best advice in this book to help you flourish, or at least create some stability.
May the cards help you find insight and joy in reading. 🙂
