Book Review-Mastering the Tarot Tableau: Revisiting Predictive Accuracy with Tarot by Toni Savory
Book Review Mastering the Tarot Tableau: Revisiting Predictive Accuracy with Tarot By Toni Savory Publisher: Red Feather Mind Body Spirit 144 Page Paperback Release Date: April 28th, 2025 Mastering the Tarot Tableau: Revisiting Predictive Accuracy with Tarot takes the common Euorpean approach to Tarot reading (which is different in many aspects), and brings it to American readers. Long have I yearned for a text in English discussing using Tarot in a more predictive fashion. More often than not, we focus on the more abstract, occult or obscure meanings of the cards, instead of looking at the literal picture they’re painting for us. Fortune telling systems such as Lenormand, Sybill Oracle, and…

Deck Review-The Awakening Tarot: An Elemental Approach by Monica Bodirsky
Deck Review The Awakening Tarot: An Elemental Approach By Monica Bodirsky Publisher: Red Feather Mind Body Spirit 78 Card Tarot Deck, 287 Page Full Color Guidebook, in a sturdy, magnetically closed box Release Date: March 28th, 2024 The Awakening Tarot: An Elemental Approach is a strangely beautiful deck that takes Tarot to its wild foundations in nature and daily life. The artwork is a bit macabre and fit for those who like the strange, quirky and different. The difference in artwork, card names and symbolism doesn’t subtract from the readability of the deck, either; instead, I would argue that it adds to it, at least for me, it did. I’ve been…

Book Review-Temple of the Stars: The Astrological Decans by Martin Goldsmith
Book Review Temple of the Stars: The Astrological Decans By Martin Goldsmith Publisher: Red Feather Mind Body Spirit 255 page E-Book Release Date: November 28th, 2024 Temple of the Stars: The Astrological Decans by Martin Goldsmith was an unexpectedly refreshing read on Astrology. So many books on Astrology seem to focus on repetitive ideas or themes, but this one offers a different focus, and a different way of looking at the signs, and your own birth chart. Astrology has a long history, and multiple cultures have practiced it in their own way, with their own interpretations. Goldsmith discusses the most well-known methods, the Greco-Babylonian, first practiced in Ancient Babylon, then adopted…
