Tarot Magick: Discover yourself through tarot. Learn about the magick behind the cards. (Witch of the Forest…) Paperback – June 13, 2023

I checked this book out at the library and loved it so much I bought my own copy! It is easy to understand and I want to have it as a reference and also to display on my bookshelf.I ordered a new book but I believe I was sent a used one by accident, because when it arrived it was all covered in scratches. Amazon was understanding and helpful, and they discounted the book since I was accidentally sent a used one.

I love Lindsey Squire's books, and this one is no exception! While I've been reading Tarot for a few years it's nice to have a book the delves deeper into the meaning of each card. There's great spreads in here as well. I would recommend this book for new and old tarot readers.

I’ve been enjoying this guide along with the deck. It’s easy to read. Not too complicated. I enjoy the illustrations of the cards and the book cover has a template for a 3 card reading which I thought was a fun addition.

This is one of the best tarot books I have read. This was a beautifully illustrated and wonderfully organized book that breaks down a tarot deck and the many ways you can interpret the cards.In this book, Squire provides information on the Major and Minor arcana by providing information about the ruling planet, zodiac signs, element, keywords for upright and reversals, and explain their meanings for both upright and reversals. Squire not only breaks down each card, but she also provides extremely helpful information about how to determine time with cards, numerology, answering Yes or No questions, the four elements, and planet correspondences.Squire also provides ways to journal with your tarot and how to use tarot cards in your spellwork. I am very interested in applying tarot cards to spellwork now. Overall, this is an absolutely wonderful beginner tarot book and I highly recommend it, especially since it has wonderful illustrated quick reference pages with each section.

Love the set

It covered almost every thing.

(I'm in between 4 and 4.5 stars ^^; )Going into this book, I knew it was going to lean spiritual, but the number of five star reviews had me curious, so I decided to take a dive--and I absolutely do not regret it! Even as a secular reader, I really enjoyed this book. The author did a fantastic job describing the cards and giving information about tarot. I think it's a very beginner friendly book, but also a book to check out just to see another reader's interpretations.The book opens introducing tarot and some frequently asked questions, along with further information on choosing a deck, bonding and caring for it, how to start, various spiritual connections (astrology, colors, timing, planets, etc), numerology (useful for secular readers too, imo!), yes and no questions, and reversals. So definitely a lot to start with!The majors all had an original card artwork along with the card explanations. The minors only had card explanations with one graphical art element, not a full card. Each card has its name, ruling planet(s), zodiac sign(s), element(s), yes or no, key words upright and reversed, along with more details on the upright and reversed meanings, often containing symbolism meanings. I really liked the author's interpretations of the cards, and appreciate that each had a couple options for meanings to try and be a catch-all. It was also nice to see the stereotypical 'doom and gloom' cards to have positive bits about them too.After the card explanations is a section discussing advice on setting up for readings, a list of 3 and 4 card spreads (really liked these!), the celtic cross (which interestingly had a different position meanings than I'm used to), spells and rituals, and recommended reading.I had a few nit-picks, however. But I wish the minors had accompanying card art, like the majors. (Without them, unless you know the RWS imagery, you'd either need a deck to use with the book or search up the cards online. Not difficult to do, but a little annoying.) In the 'rituals' section, several minors had card art shown, so I'm not sure why they weren't included with the minors. I also thought it was random and strange for some pages/cards to have a white background and others black. It didn't seem to serve a purpose and was just a little jarring when the colors inverted while I read. And some of the colored background pages' text was hard to read, just not enough contrast between the text color and the background color. And for the 'yes or no' interpretations for the cards, well over half of them were a 'yes', which feels unbalanced to me. I don't really do yes/no personally, but mentioning for those who do.For secular readers like myself, you won't be using /all/ the information in this book, but I do think this one is worth looking at. You can totally read this from a secular perspective and be just fine. The explanations are easy to wrap your head around and I think the author did a great job getting all the information across. Definitely a book I wish I had had starting out.(I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.)

I absolutely love the Tarot Magick guidebook! It’s super easy to follow, and this book does an amazing job of blending tarot with a bit of witchy flair. The book covers everything you need to know about each card, from the basics to more advanced stuff like astrology and numerology. Plus, the card meanings are super detailed, which helps you connect more deeply with the deck.What I really appreciate is how practical it is. There are spreads, rituals, and even tips for using tarot in spellwork. It’s not just a book on how to read tarot—it’s about how to use tarot for personal growth and magick in everyday life.If you’re looking for a guide that’s both informative and inspiring, this one’s perfect!
