Deepen Your Tarot Practice, Heal Spiritual Wounds, and Rise as a Daughter of the Goddess Become a modern-day priestess with this book on using tarot cards as both devotional and divinatory tools.

Leeza Robertson brings you closer than ever to your tarot cards, showing you how to unite your daily practice with goddess energy. She cleverly ties the four stages of your initiation to the court cards, links goddess temples to the four suits of the minor arcana, and organizes the major arcana into three priestess gateways that you pass through on your journey. Whatever your skill level is, this book shows you how to serve with purpose and spiritual fulfillment.

I received a free digital ARC from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. I requested to read Tarot Priestess: Using the Cards to Heal, Grow & Serve by Leeza Robertson as I have long enjoyed seeing others use the Tarot but have never quite mastered the art myself. In addition the cover art on this book is stunning which made it stand out from other similar titles.
The book aims to create ‘a spiritual framework’ for the use of the major and minor arcana in tarot that practitioners can use to assist them in their readings. The author says it will expand readers practice for those that approach Tarot with and open heart and mind. It has an essay like opening in which the author explains the history of tarot, its links to practices such as witchcraft and why it has been frowned upon in the past. This was a very interesting and well researched introduction for those who are not familiar with card reading. The book states it can be used by all levels of tarot readers which I would agree with. Whilst deeper messages and meanings are present, the book has been laid out in a clear and readable manner. I would be to keen obtain a physical version to use alongside my practice to better understand the meanings of the cards and their practical applications.
Quick impressions: This is a book to do some serious in-depth Tarot and divine feminine study. I read through it to write the review, but this is a book to take your time and do the exercises and rituals a bit at a time. You do feel you'll gain growth if you take the process a step at a time.
(Full review with additional reading notes available on my blog.)
This is a fabulous read. I don’t think you can conceive how good it will be based on the abstract as it will not only meet, but exceed your expectations. The divine feminine shines the light on how the goddess temples associate to the cards and bring your skills to another If you are use the Tarot, you will want to add this to your reference library.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
This is very enlightening to read! I got new information and knowledge regarding the tarot cards and new ways to interpret them in the lens of a Priestess. I appreciate the new perspective Leeza Robertson offered in this book and how each of the cards had its connection to the goddess and the priestess.
