Sasha Graham’s 365 Tarot Spells is a both a stand alone volume and companion to her previously published 365 Tarot Spreads. Tarot is a marvelous magical companion. It's small and portable and can be used in a variety of ways to affect change in one's life. Graham's book helps to promote tarot's use as a flexible tool for producing results. She's created another day-by-day style book filled with wonderful spells you can use to get what you want in a variety of different ways. Each spell contains a short list of ingredients (some spells require easy to access components in addition to the tarot cards themselves) and a description of how to put the spell into action. A sidebar containing an incantation to activate the spell, a generic card image, and a tidbit from that day in history rounds out each spell.
365 Tarot Spells is a homage to another well designed tarot book called Tarot Spells by Janina Renee. Graham's spells are well thought out and have a modern, fresh vibe to them. I liked the wide variety of spell topics and cards used for the spells. Graham does guarantee that each card makes an appearance at least once in the book. There is a wonderful and very thorough index of spells and categories in the back of the book that can be used to quickly find just what you need. She's even added 78 spells for you to connect and bind yourself to each and every tarot card in the deck. Doing so can have the powerful effect of making the whole deck a spectacular tool for creating magic.
There's a lot of good information in this book. I will say that the layout still has bugs in it. It seems that ePub manufactures are still trying to mimic print layouts. And when they do this, the text suffers because reading on a device isn't the same as reading off a printed page. There are many cases in the ePub where the side bar cuts text off and overlaps the main spell working. Where there are layout images, they appear very small--sometimes unreadable.
Bottom Line: Looking for new ways to use your beloved tarot decks? Want to learn how to use tarot to attract things to you? Then 365 Tarot Spells is just the book for you. Graham includes a wide range of topics for you to cast spells. This is a modern witches grimoire for casting tarot spells.
Whether you are really into spells or just want to learn more about Tarot, this book has something wonderful for you.
The book is organised by day from 1 Jan to 31 Dec, but you are not limited to use it by day. Looking for a banishing spell, prosperity, love, or fertility? You can easily find a spell that serves your purpose by going to the Index of Spells at the back of the book. You can also find what spells any particular card is used for in the Index of Cards. All cards in the Tarot are used multiple times in the book. And you will find out and learn how to use cards like Ten of Wands and Ten of Swords to help and assist you, thus becoming more empowered.
I especially love the Incantations that comes with each spell. I find that repeating that incantation can help me focus and calm my very active mind and get into the state desirable for spell crafting.
Even if you do not believe in spells, this book is excellent for developing a deep relationship with your Tarot cards. Through those “exercises”/spells, you will gain a much deeper understanding of the Tarot in general, and intimate connection with your new and old decks.
I didn’t keep up with this because last year was too hectic. I liked some of the spells. I personally love tarot as a meditative focus, which is what some of these spells really were. Not all are necessary or applicable to me, but it’s easy to skip over those and still have plenty of good spells to try.
The Tarot is undeniably a powerful tool of magical invocation and, whilst many practitioners of the art use it merely as a mirror into the inner worlds, it is also possible to use the cards as keys for manipulating the energies of the subtle planes.
This book explains exactly how this is achieved using key correspondences of the Western Mysteery Tradition. In doing so, the author references the occult teachings of Wicca and the Golden Dawn alongside the psychological ideas of C G Jung.
The result is a book of remarkable insights and gives the reader the opportunity to expand their understanding of the inherent metaphysical dynamics contained within the cards.
A couple a years ago, I reviewed Sasha Graham's companion publication to this one, '365 Tarot Spreads'. At the time, I gave it a deservedly glowing review. Consequently, I expected great things from this follow-up and not only was I not disappointed but I have to say that, in many ways, this book is even better than its predecessor.
The presentation of Graham's material here has been beautifully executed, making it a superb publication both in content and production. The result of this is that '365 Tarot Spells' is an outstanding Tarot workbook that will utterly delight, astound and excite anyone practiced in Tarot divination as well as those who know a little about Wicca and solitary magical practice.
Even in today's saturated market of Tarot books, this is publication that is refreshingly different and is one that genuinely looks at the Tarot with a very real sense of renewed purpose.
i loved the 365 Tarot Spreads, this book is can be used alone or in conjunction with that book. there are some good spells in the book, mostly it deals with meditation and visualization of the tarot. there is something that hold me back from saying that it is as awesome as her first 365 book, but i would be hard pressed to say what exactly that it is that is causing this conflict.
