Patti Wigington joins me to discuss her upcoming book, The Witches Complete Guide to Tarot. Harness the centuries-old power of tarot for self-evaluation, introspection, and personal growth with The Witch’s Complete Guide to Tarot. This book goes beyond a conventional tarot guidebook as it teaches you how to incorporate tarot into your magic and witchcraft practice. No matter which deck you’re using, tarot can be adapted into spellwork, ritual, and magic in a way that allows you to embrace your authentic self, celebrate who you are and who you wish to become, and indulge in transformative self-empowerment. This guide for modern witches shows how tarot cards and all of the included icons, archetypes, and hidden mysteries can be included in spellwork and ritual just as one would include any other ingredient, like crystals, herbs, or oils. Learn to trust your intuition and bring insight and excitement to your magic with tarot! For more about this great author, please visit: https://www.pattiwigington.com/

Author Judika Illes and Researcher/Designer Kathryn Sky-Peck join me to discuss the reasons why the Rider-Waite-Smith deck needed a fresh look. From the publisher's website: The Weiser Tarot is a new edition of the most popular and influential Tarot art ever created, the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, first published in 1909. The cards have been newly repainted—while, of course, preserving Pamela Colman Smith’s original line art—creating a fresh, flowing aesthetic. Additionally, the cards provide Hebrew and astrological correspondences to the Major Arcana—not included in the original Rider-Waite-Smith deck—for those seekers who have interest in Qabalah and astrology. The Weiser Tarot was created to speak to your own personal Tarot needs and desires. Whether you are new to the Tarot or a seasoned card reader, you can use The Weiser Tarot for divination, fortune-telling, self-transformation, spellcasting, or any other purpose.
