Tarot Magic: Ceremonial Magic Using Golden Dawn Correspondences

by Donald Tyson

Say goodbye to ceremonial robes, incense, candles, and oils. Donald Tyson presents a new, easy way to perform ritual magic with only one tarot. From manipulating elemental forces of nature to making potent charms, all ceremonial rituals can be performed with a standard 78-card deck. Tyson's efficient system of tarot magic is based on the Golden Dawn tradition, which corresponds with tarot imagery. He teaches how to work magic on the astral level by projecting one's awareness into the ritual tarot layout. Learn how to set up an astral temple, build an altar, cast a magic circle, and create a triangle through which to actualize your purpose. This innovative guide to tarot magic also includes rituals related to unions, banishing, and evoking elementals. Previously sold as Portable Magic (9780738709802).

About the author

Donald Tyson is a Canadian from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Early in life he was drawn to science by an intense fascination with astronomy, building a telescope by hand when he was eight. He began university seeking a science degree, but became disillusioned with the aridity and futility of a mechanistic view of the universe and shifted his major to English. After graduating with honors he has pursued a writing career.

Now he devotes his life to the attainment of a complete gnosis of the art of magic in theory and practice. His purpose is to formulate an accessible system of personal training composed of East and West, past and present, that will help the individual discover the reason for one's existence and a way to fulfill it.

Mildly entertaining. Teaches you about complex rituals using tarot cards. It is written like a textbook though. You have to “study” it to fully grasp the concepts. I merely skimmed through it but if you performed spells with this and it worked, let me know. 😉

Does a good job of making something complicated reasonably clear

Some good techniques but the writing style is a bit dull. Still, a useful source for Golden Dawn tactics.

A truly unique technique, simple and efficient. The first part of the book which briefly covers the history of the tarot is excellent and one of the best overviews I've read, covering the actual, documented history of tarot cards rather than the mythical history you always read in every other book.
