Everything You Need to Know to Begin Reading Tarot Cards
For centuries, Tarot cards have been consulted for divination by those seeking answers from the unseen realms. The Tarot has been credited with illuminating solutions to major dilemmas, and even helping people avoid future misfortunes. The Tarot experience can indeed be empowering, bringing clarity to confusing situations and showing us that we have the ability to shape our future based on the choices we make in the present. Far more than mere "fortune telling," the Tarot is a tool for meditation and reflection, for seeing new angles that give way to broader perspectives about how we approach our lives.
In this 2nd edition of Tarot for Beginners, best-selling author Lisa Chamberlain opens the door for newcomers to the Tarot in her trademark clear and straightforward manner. She dispels old myths and misconceptions about the Tarot, providing an objective look at its origins and its divinatory potential for 21st-century readers. Tailored especially for those who want to read the cards for themselves, this guide offers strategies for getting familiar with each card, a step-by-step breakdown of the process of a reading, options for tailoring the approach to suit your unique style, and advice for getting the most out of reading the cards for yourself.
Most guides to the Tarot are centered on a specific deck, such as the Waite-Smith, the Tarot of Marseille, or other decks ranging from the well-known to the rather obscure. While these books can be useful and informative, their card interpretations are largely restricted to the particular deck they focus on. Tarot for Beginners takes a different approach, offering basic card meanings that can be applied to any deck, and used in tandem with any descriptions that accompany the deck you've chosen to work with. So no matter which Tarot deck you use, the information in this guide is relevant, providing a solid starting point for a skill you can carry with you for a lifetime.
Foundations in the Art of Divination
Tarot can be thought of as a kind of language through which we can hear and understand divine messages. This communication comes through the individual cards and through the symbolic system of the deck as a whole. Tarot for Beginners sets you up to learn this language with a thorough grounding in the key concepts surrounding the Tarot, including:
- The origins and evolution of the Tarot as a divinatory art - A comprehensive overview of the Major, Minor, and Court Arcana - Tips for choosing your first deck and getting acquainted with your cards - Beginner tips and exercises for interpreting the cards - Instructions for the basic 3-card spread and the 10-card Celtic Cross, two of the most widely-used spreads in contemporary Tarot - A step-by-step process for conducting Tarot readings - Advice on reading the cards for yourself - Core meanings of each card in the standard Tarot deck
The art of Tarot takes time and experience to master, and your willingness to study the cards, practice reading, and hone your intuition will be key to your development as a Tarot reader.

Everything You Need to Know to Start Practicing Magic and Witchcraft
"Witchcraft" is a word that, for some, may inspire fantastical images of women flying through the night sky on broomsticks and shooting sparks out of a glimmering wand. Others mistakenly associate people who practice Witchcraft with the dark arts-believing that Witches go around hexing people, or use other "black magic" to cause trouble for people they dislike.
The truth is, Witchcraft is not fantasy, and is not inherently malicious. It's a vibrant, nature-based spiritual practice that is alive and well in our modern times, just as it has been for longer than we've been recording history. Nonetheless, due to the persistence of these misconceptions in mainstream society, some Wiccans do not consider themselves to be practitioners of Witchcraft, and don't identify as Witches. This is despite the fact that Gerald Gardner, the founder of what became known as Wicca, described the religious activities of his coven in exactly these terms-they were Witches practicing Witchcraft
Whether you choose to call yourself a Witch, a Wiccan, both, or neither, Witchcraft is an enormous topic that can be overwhelming for those who are just starting to explore it. There's so much to learn, and there are many differing perspectives on what is "correct" or "incorrect" in terms of knowledge and practice. Truly, it may be the one of the most confounding of all possible areas of spirituality Modern Witchcraft and Magic for Beginners was created to provide a fact-based, neutrally-oriented context for launching you on your exploration. Whether you feel called to study Wicca with a practicing coven, learn as much as you can on your own about a branch of Traditional Witchcraft, or forge an eclectic practice that combines several approaches, this book will help you navigate the various opinions, definitions, and perspectives you'll find in the wide, wide world of the Craft.
Foundations of Western Witchcraft
Wicca has become the most well-known form of the Craft, but it emerged in tandem with other forms. Many of these other traditions were influenced by, and had influence on, what we now know as Wicca. A basic understanding of the wider realm of Witchcraft allows you to broaden your knowledge and enhance your practice. In these pages, you'll find:
- An overview of the historical and cultural contexts in which contemporary Witchcraft has evolved - A debunking of common misconceptions about Witchcraft as it is practiced today - Core beliefs and practices found among a variety of forms of the Craft - Clear distinctions between Wiccan, Traditional, and Eclectic paths - Core concepts underlying the "why" and "how" of magic - A brief look at a few common magical techniques-visualization, invocation, and candle magic - Some example workings for you to try, if you feel so inclined - Suggested references for further reading for those who want to explore these topics further
Whether your curiosity about the Craft is intellectual, spiritual, or both, you'll find plenty of useful information in Modern Witchcraft and Magic for Beginners. After reading this book, you should have a better grounding in this fascinating field, and hopefully a clearer sense of where you'd like to go next If you're ready to learn about Witchcraft and start practicing magic, scroll to the top of the page and select the buy button.

Everything You Need to Know to Start Working With Magical Crystals Today
Since the beginning of recorded history, people have revered the beauty and power of crystals and other mineral stones, incorporating them into religious artwork, weaponry, healing techniques and-of course-magic From the quartz talismans of Egyptian pharaohs to the Aztec ceremonial masks of turquoise, malachite and jade, these natural delights have been prized by cultures all around the globe.
Today's practitioners of the magical arts use crystals for a variety of powerful workings related to health, wealth, love, protection, divination and more. Whether it's in the form of an elixir for imbibing confidence-promoting energies, a small polished stone placed with herbs in a love sachet, or a favorite crystal emitting positive vibrations in your sacred space, crystals and other mineral stones are powerful and highly versatile tools of magic. In Crystal Magic, Wiccan author Lisa Chamberlain explores the many magical uses of these natural beauties and the underlying Universal forces that make it all work. But while this guide is written from the perspective of Wiccans and other Witches, you need not consider yourself a Wiccan or a Witch to benefit from the magical power of crystals and stones. As you will see within these pages, the energies of these Earth creations are universal and can be harnessed by anyone, anytime. So whether you're new to magic, new to crystals, or new to both, you'll find this guide to be an invaluable resource for your spiritual practice.
Most books about crystal magic fall into one of two categories: encyclopedias and spell books. While there are some wonderfully comprehensive encyclopedia-style books out there that describe the magical properties of hundreds of different crystals and stones, they tend to provide little or no practical information about using them in spellwork. Likewise, there are a few good practical books that focus on crystal-centered spells, but they don't tell you much about the nature and properties of the crystals and stones involved in the work. Crystal Magic was created to bridge these two worlds by incorporating both elements: a solid overview of 13 widely-used crystals in Wiccan magic, along with a comprehensive look at their practical applications in everyday spellwork. This approach is especially handy for those who are just beginning to build a collection of magical stones, since the spells themselves use only the stones featured in the guide
Foundations of Crystal Magic
Of course, it's not enough to simply buy a few pretty stones and say some magic words over them. You have to build a personal relationship with your crystals if you want to work with them successfully. This guide will help you to do just that, with plenty of need-to-know information, including:
- How crystals and mineral stones are formed in the Earth and how they're classified - How their unique energetic vibrations can help you shape the reality of your daily life on the physical, emotional, and spiritual planes - Profiles of 13 of the most widely used crystals and stones in contemporary Witchcraft - How to choose and care for your own crystals, including clearing and charging them for use in magic - How to harness the projective and receptive energies of crystals - Several spells and magical workings using crystals, including elixirs, candle spells and charms
By the end of this guide, you'll have a solid foundation from which to build your own practice of working with crystals. But be sure to let the stones themselves guide you as well-they are natural teachers from deep inside the Earth and can aid you on your path no matter where it leads you Scroll to the top of the page, hit the buy button, and receive an exclusive free eBook
