Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an early copy of this book.

This book is a great, quick tarot book that’s laid out in an easy-to-follow way.

As always, the work of Forensics and Flowers was stunning.

I love that there are mentions of symbolism and even how tarot works with timing, elements, and ruling planets. Because of this information, the Major Arcana and Minor Arcana entries have that information as well as upright and reversed meanings. The differences are that the Major Arcana has individual artwork for each card and how the Fool transforms on their journey whereas the Minor Arcana doesn’t have this (for good reason).

One of the best all encompassing tarot books I’ve come across. As soon as this is available in physical form I will be purchasing it! I absolutely love design and illustrations throughout the book as well. If you are beginner to intermediate with fair I highly recommend. This book includes the upright and reversed meaning of every card and as well as the meaning is each major arcana card throughout the fools journey. I appreciated all of the info in the beginning as well about choosing, cleansing, and caring for your deck.

An amazing guide accurately addressing any apprehension of newbie tarot users. It’s a clear cut and welcoming approach that simultaneously educates and relieves concerns. Emphasizing intuition and building that muscle always resonates with me. Plus I love the “Questions to ask your deck as a sweet way to familiarize yourself with your new cards — which is appealing as a practice for any new deck that shows up in your life. The daily draw, is another great tool for learning and connecting with your deck. Astrological tarot card associations introduce another fab way to draw connections. The meanings section-includes planets, zodiac, elements, and keywords, allowing for a multilevel degree of understanding. The tarot spell section is a fantastic addition to this tarot book.. Practice, just do it, and pull cards. ✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨

I absolutely loved reading this book. I was completely drawn into the topic and could not stop reading it.

This is the best book on Tarot cards and their meanings I have ever read so far! The best one I read before was from the same publisher. This new book has levelled up my expectations now that I feel there will not be a better one than this. And if it happens too, I will be expecting the same from the same publisher as well!

The book explains well from where to start, how to choose a tarot card deck, how to interpret each card and how to explain the differences. The signs related to these cards are read and explained better. And yes, how we can do tarot reading for friends and family too!

The pages are eye popping good! Vibrant and satisfying enough to get more lost in the tarot world, I got the best out of this book. I feel any reader will get mesmerised once they open this book.

Experience it for yourself. Grab the book as soon as it comes out!

Thank you, Leaping Hare, for the advance reading copy.

I love reading Tarot cards. I think I love to read books on tarot just as much. Every time I read a book on tarot I find myself learning something new. I love to read other peoples ideas on tarot. Lindsay Squire book, Tarot Magic, is a beautiful thought out book about tarot and magic with tarot. She adds basic ideas on the symbles, numerology as well as astrology. The picture of the taort deck she uses with the book are beautifull. I definitely want this book added to my tarot collection.

This is an excellent book for both tarot beginners and those with some experience. As well as covering how to choose, cleanse and bond with a tarot deck, the author discusses numerology, astrology, colours and symbols in relation to the cards. They also provide a good brief description of each card and some suggested spreads. All of this adds up to a comprehensive introduction which should give beginners confidence in their readings.

I particularly liked the section on spells and rituals, which differs from other tarot books I have read.

I was given an e-copy of the book to review, and thank the publisher and NetGalley for this. Although it is not easy to see on an e-copy, the book looks beautifully illustrated.

I would recommend this to anyone interested in a brief but comprehensive introduction to the tarot.

I was given an ARC to review via Netgalley. My reviews are always honest and all opinions are my own. #TarotMagick #LindsaySquire #NetGalley #ARCReview #SpiritualityBookReview #BookReview

Tarot Magick is the fourth and final instalment in ‘The Witch of the Forest’s Guide to..’ series and it delves into the powerful world of tarot. Tarot cards are rich with meaning, symbolism and secrets waiting to reveal themselves and this is the perfect beginner guide for the new tarot reader or even those more well versed in the cards. With breath-taking illustrations from Lindsay Squire’s on Tarot Magick deck, illustrated by Viki Lester and brimming with easy to follow and learn explanations of the meanings and symbolism behind the famous cards this book is bound to improve your practice.

I have to say the first thing that struck me about this book, and the previous three, is the ease to follow it. The writing is informative and detailed but with such a tone and flow that you can easily follow along and learn as you go. Even if you have other books or are well versed in tarot this book is a true gem with beautiful illustrations and easy to follow and break down information. It not only includes detail on how to interpret all 78 cards in a modern tarot deck while understanding the major and minor arcana cards but also the differences between the pentacle, wand, sword or cup card. It further delves into the elements associated with the cards, zodiac signs and plants as well that may tie to the card and its meaning as so much more.

On top of this we have rituals, tip and tricks and recipes taken directly from The Witch of The Forest’s personal grimoire. Aiding in how to use the cards as part of spells, to understand yourself and improve your self-love practice. I am somewhat biased since I have adored Squire’s other books; Natural Magick, Earth Magick and Astrology Magick but this book, despite knowing a little about Tarot, is honestly brimming with knowledge and ways to help improve your use of the cards. A brilliant reference book to have on hand and one I would highly recommend.

Wait! Do I just love tarot books or have I been exceptionally lucky in the books I have chosen to pick up? Because this is yet another charming introduction to what I, admittedly, find to be a daunting subject. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the eARC.

Tarot Magick is both thorough and concise. I am very appreciative of the many illustrations throughout the book. Not only are they gorgeous to look at, but it really helped me to grasp the concepts under discussion. The information is presented in a compact and organized fashion. Yet it never reads as info-dumping or boring. There is a whimsy to the writing and artwork which keeps the reader engaged - I found reading the book to be a delightful experience. I particularly enjoyed the author's approach as a guide pointing out possibilities, inviting the reader to bring their own curiosity to the subject.

This is a beautifully illustrated book that covers everything you need to know about learning the tarot. I particularly loved the very informative section on tarot journaling - I haven’t come across this in other tarot books I have read.

For each major arcana card we are given very a useful list of keywords for both upright and reversed positions, then a more in-depth look at each position. I also liked the little piece that told the story of each card through the lens of the Fool’s journey, something else I’ve not seen before. Each major card is printed as a full page in the book.

For the minor arcana each card is described but not shown; it would have been nice to have a visual reference. Again, there is an explanation of both upright and reversed meanings and it is very easy to read and understand. Some tarot books contain reams and reams about each card but this was short and succinct, yet very informative.

In addition to the cards themselves, the book also includes tarot spreads, and also tarot spells and rituals which I really enjoyed reading about and is yet something else I have not encountered in other tarot books. This is an incredibly good book, packed full of info and accompanied by gorgeous illustrations. I highly recommend this to anyone who wishes to learn about the tarot.

With thanks to Netgalley and Leaping Hare Press for this advance review copy. All opinions are my own.

I will 100% be adding this to my physical collection. I’ve been practicing tarot for years and have read quite a few books about it, but this is by far the most thorough and informative one yet! The illustrations are stunning as well! It covers every card in the major and minor arcana, suit meaning, spreads and so much more, complete with a very handy index.
