A mysterious path to the Old Ways

The Well Worn Path is much more than a divination tool. Specifically designed for Witches, Wiccans, and Pagans, this uniquely Pagan system is based on the roots of Pagan culture and practice. Depicting symbolism and imagery vital to nature-based spirituality, the multi-faceted, forty-card deck can be used for learning, teaching, ritual, and personal alignment. Each card has an assigned meaning, teaching element, and meditation for spiritual alignment that, altogether, communicates a vital Pagan concept or tenet. It's a magical, transforming journey for students or teachers seeking to understand the hidden Mysteries and embrace the Old Ways.

Approach Tarot from an inspired angle

Looking for new ways to expand your understanding of Tarot? Renowned Tarot specialist Valerie Sim helps Tarot enthusiasts step "out of the box" and advance their practice to a new level. Emphasizing a fun, relaxed approach, she teaches how to break rules in order to stimulate creativity. Readers learn many valuable Tarot techniques, including the comparative method, which involves practicing with several decks to fully understand each card and its abundant possibilities for interpretation. Tarot Outside the Box also offers original spreads, sample readings, and valuable advice for practicing Tarot without querents, engaging in interactive readings (both reader and querent participation), and using Tarot for creative writing.

Readings with historical and literary character

Creating original spreads is a rite of passage for many ambitious Tarot students. James Ricklef gives valuable lessons in doing just that—with advice for finding inspiration, defining positional meanings, and structuring a layout. Tarot: Get the Whole Story is also for those who want to peer over the shoulder of a Tarot master as he demonstrates a variety of new spreads. Readers will learn which spreads are best for relationship concerns, personal transformation, New Year's resolutions, life decisions, and more. Each chapter discusses a new spread with detailed explanations of positional meanings and dynamics between the cards. Also included are illustrations and entertaining sample readings featuring Clark Gable, Marie Antoinette, Hera, Don Juan, and other historical, literary, or mythological figures.

The Secret Forest unveiled

Evoking forest scenes, insects, and fairies, this gorgeous deck taps into the primal power of Mother Nature. Bearing color images on one side, black-and-white on the other, these cards will help you soar to new divinatory heights. This tarot can be used in special spreads that involve using both sides of the cards.

The Language of Symbols

Symbols are a silent and potent language which reaches our conscious awareness through the agency of subconsciousness, rising on wings of spirit from the deepest parts of our being as messengers from our soul. The common denominator of Tarot and dreams is transmission of knowledge and understanding through the agency of subconsciousness and the mechanism of pictorial symbolism. It is a natural marriage to combine Tarot and dreams to deepen and enhance the understanding of dream symbols and to expand our understanding of Tarot.

An excerpt from Seeker: The Tarot Unveiled
The Connection Spread by Rachel Pollack

Tarot readers do more readings about relationships than any other subject. Most of us tend to go a little bit crazy the moment we like somebody, or somebody likes us. And when you consider that two people are involved (not to mention the attitudes of your family, your friends, social pressure, etc.), no wonder we run to the cards for help.

The cards cannot tell us what some other person will do, but they can help us figure out what's going on, especially with our own feelings. Lay the cards out in the following pattern:

Card 1:
What do I feel about this person?

Card 2:
What does this person give out to me?

Card 3:
What am I not seeing about this person?

Card 4:
What is possible between us?

Card 5:
What blocks it?

Card 6:
What can I do to help it?

Card 7:
What will it look like if it happens?

Card 8:
How will it affect other things in my life?

Card 9:
What special thing do I need to know?
