Bewitching tarot meditations by bruja and award-winning writer Maria DeBlassie.
One part prose poetry, one part witchy insights, and one part study in learning the tarot, this book explores this mundane divination form for beginners and experts alike.
This cartomancy book was birthed from DeBlassie’s creative tarot studies in which she wrote 78-word prose poems for each of the 78 cards in the deck, using synchronicity, everyday magic, and her budding understanding of tarot symbolism and meanings to craft her tales.
It’s not your basic how-to-read tarot book, but more a how-to begin a conversation with this divination tool. As any tarot reader can tell you, dealing the deck is more than interpreting cards. It’s about building a relationship with this mystic tool and learning how you and the tarot can work together to discover numinous revelations.
This book is a series of proverbial spells. A series of stories. A series of synchronous messages and mystic musings. A journey into learning the tarot. Are you ready to start your adventure?
Firstly thank you to Henry Roi PR, Kitchen Witch Press and Maria DeBlassie for having me on this tour and sending me a copy of the book.
I found this a really interesting book to read, i wasn't sure what to expect I think I was anticipating it being another this is what the cards mean kind of book. But it really wasn't and I liked that it was a bit different. I think the pull-out of one card a week for 78 weeks is a really different way to connect with the tarot cards and I think I might even give it a try. The author suggested that you don't need to read this from cover to cover and maybe flick through the pages and see which card you end up on to answer questions, but I was reading this as a digital book so did a variation of that. I read the first few cards she pulled and then flicked through until a card caught my attention for this read-through, I just read the ones that drew my attention.
I really loved the insights from the author, don't get me wrong the poetry/story was nice but the insights are what I kind of honed into. It's a brilliantly written book, and I thoroughly enjoyed making my way through it. And we got some fantastic recommendations in the conclusion, I've got a new podcast to tune into!
If Tarot is something that interests you, this might be a good book to dip into.
