Tarot Tableau Revolution, the first book from author María Alviz Hernando, codirector of the World Divination Association, revives this method for a modern audience, offering tips and techniques for mastery of this system. One of earliest methods of tarot card reading, the tableau technique involves laying out cards in a square or rectangular shape and interpreting them in the way that one might interpret a painting. Different tableaus utilize different numbers of cards, and the cards are read in relationship to one another.

Tarot Tableau Revolution covers an entire system, teaching readers to read tarot based on classic cartomantic techniques. These techniques give any reader a strong foundation with which to work. Readers go on a journey that begins with narrative readings of three or five cards, building up to the nine-card tableau (the flagship of the system), and then expanding into the five-by-five tableau, or the Tarot Grand Tableau.
