Publisher's Synopsis
Many times, people walk away from a tarot reading thinking, "Now what? Is this it?" What can they do to improve their situation? Making Tarot Magic provides the answers. In various traditions around the world, divination is not a stopping point. It's the beginning. A querent may come to tarot (or other forms of divination) to receive insight into their situation but also to have a diagnosis and treatments to remedy problems. These "treatments" were often magical rituals or ceremonies the querent could perform for themselves or have someone else perform on their behalf. Tarot has been used not only as a divination tool but also as a magical tool for centuries. Each card has specific recommendations for what kind of magic and ritual might be appropriate to address a specific concern. You just need to learn how to read them with an eye to their inner magic. Each section of the book is dedicated to a single magical condition: abundance, healing, love, legal, and more. Every tarot card has an interpretation seen through the lens of and with respect to the magical condition the section has focused on. Techniques are given for what types of magical work would be best suited to a particular card's presence and meaning in a reading. There are suggested intentions that provide guidelines for what attitude or spirit you may want to infuse your work with to produce the best result. Making Tarot Magic teaches you how to tune in, interpret the issue, and find the remedy. The book includes magic basics, ritual and ceremonial suggestions, and recipes. Included among these are working with sacred vessels; candles and oil lamps; incense; sachets; spiritual baths; herbs and roots; magical words, prayers, and petitions; sacred waters; textile magic; and spirit work.
