Making Tarot Magic: Rituals and Remedies to Transform Readings Into Action

If you've ever left a tarot reading thinking, Now what? How can I improve my situation?, Briana Saussy's 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 glean a diagnosis and treatments to remedy problems. These "treatments" are often magical rituals or ceremonies the querent could perform for themselves or have someone else perform on their behalf. Each tarot 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, justice, 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 the types of magical work best suited to a particular card's presence and meaning in a reading.
• Suggested intentions provide guidelines for what attitude or spirit you may want to infuse your work with to produce the best result.
• Includes magic basics, ritual and ceremonial suggestions, and recipes.
• Learn to work with sacred vessels, candles and oil lamps, incense, sachets, spiritual baths, herbs and roots, magical words, prayers and petitions, sacred waters, textile magic, and spirits.

Making Tarot Magic teaches you how to tune in, interpret the issue, and find the remedy.
