The title may be a little misleading. These aren't new books that I've read, but books focusing on tarot that I've newly read. Purchased these sometime after Christmas and really just opened them in the last few weeks.
Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom, Part 1: The Major Arcana by Rachel Pollack offered surprisingly refreshing and in-depth descriptions of the 22 cards. It wasn't a very long book- 127 pages, so it offered enormous insight in a concise package. Very straightforward, but not pragmatic. Wonderfully spiritual and poetic in its' own right.
Another book I picked up was Corrinne Kenner's Tarot Journaling: Using the Celtic Cross to Unveil Your Hidden Story. I'll fess up and admit that I bought this book for a very reasonable amount with a gift card, not expecting much. It sounded interesting enough but pretty mundane. However, this book uses the Celtic Cross to guide the reader through tarot journaling, taking him on a journey through each of the ten cards. For example, the 10th card and Chapter: What Will Come discusses clairvoyance, intuiting and foretelling the future. It offers different strategies and recommendations for utilizing journaling to develop psychic abilities and deepening intuition.
Both of these books are wonderful tools for anyone with more than a beginner's knowledge of tarot.
