Designed for both beginners and advanced students, Tarot Interactions transcends the card-by-card approach and asks how the principle of interaction can bring reading the cards to a new and more intuitive place. For the student of Tarot who knows the cards, but feels like there's further to go, Tarot Interactions offers lessons on: psychic ability, understanding patterns, how pairs of cards interact with each other, how a card interacts with its own position in a layout, understanding layouts as a whole, using language and storytelling to deepen a reading, and interacting with querents. These lessons offer even the advanced student a sense that the cards can be more than the sum of their parts. Tarot Interactions is designed to take the student from good to great, from understanding to experiencing. It is a tool to stop reading the Tarot and start interacting with it, or to read it, not like a series of road signs, but like a story, or a poem, or the lyrics to a song.

Advanced, sophisticated Witchcraft philosophy and practice Delves further into the theology and theory of every phase of ritual, along with practical how-tos and how-not-tos, and much esoteric, hard-to-find information Every step of ritual has at least two sample scripts, including an avant-garde example Provides detailed instructions for writing your own ritual Includes meditations on the deeper meanings of each phase of ritual

A Groundbreaking New Perspective on Polarity Magic Break polarity free from outmoded ideas of gender and heteronormativity while still celebrating its energy. This pioneering book explores polarity from many angles, examining its evolution throughout history, why it's important in the occult, and how it relates to identity and sexual orientation. Deborah Lipp shows you what it means to both include polarity magic and be inclusive. Bending the Binary adds depth and nuance to polar concepts in magic, such as day and night, male and female, self and other. Deborah offers a third perspective on these opposites, inviting you to explore the space between them through rituals, journal prompts, and detailed research. She also teaches how to incorporate binary-bending practices into your personal magical system. This book encourages everyone to expand their perceptions and strengthen their magic.
