Tarot for Magical Times Book

Description

Review We are in transformational times -- the authors take this one step further and present the Tarot as being a prophecy for this transformational change, and a guide to a rebirth into a new world -- both on the individual and the community/world level. Through the use of full-color images and astutely written texts, the authors offer us a new way of thinking and a new way of being. The presentation is as magical as the concepts. --Bonnie CehovetTarot for Magical Times is the best sort of modern tarot book in that is has enough new meaty information to make it interesting to an advanced tarotist, and enough practical instruction to make it appropriate for even the most nervous tarot novice. That the authors refer to times of difficult global upheaval as magical times; captures the essence of the book itself. While sugar-coating nothing, this book presents tarot as a useful tool of positive perspectives and helpful advice during times of personal and planetary difficulty. --Christine Gaudet, Tarot GrandmasterThis is a gorgeous little book that offers photos as well as tarot images which help cement the concepts particularly well in the astrological portion. Don't be fooled by the slim profile. There is a ton of information packed in these pages. --Stephanie Arwen Lynch, President of the American Tarot Association Read more About the Author Rachel is considered one of the World's foremost authorities on the modern interpretation of the Tarot.
