Praise for Madame Pamita's Magical Tarot

Madame Pamita's Magical Tarot, with its mix of solid knowledge including comprehensive listings of symbols and positive energetic framework, gives a modern twist to the early handbooks of tarot reading, including the work of the legendary Eden Gray.

Ainslie MacLeod, author of The Instruction: Living the Life Your Soul Intended

This is a field guide to otherworldly lands. Your travels are guaranteed to enrich even the most mundane of everyday experiences. All you need are Madame Pamita's Magical Tarot and a tarot deck to enter on this grand adventure to a world peopled by wise guides and mystical beings.

Mary K. Greer, author of 21 Ways to Read a Tarot Card

After two decades of studying the tarot, I finally have in my hands a complete manual that brings together all parts of the tarot as oneboth theory (its spirit) and practice (its body), as well as its divinatory use and its little-known use in the magical arts. In her book Madame Pamita's Magical Tarot, Madame Pamita comfortably walks the deepest labyrinths of magical occultism and deciphers, card by card, the hidden metaphysics of the deck including the most confusing and, in some cases, forgotten ones. She explains all with a coherent ease that is extremely accessible to all seekers of knowledge.

When you have spent so many years studying and practicing the tarot or any other divinatory science, it can be beneficial to do a refreshing re-study of it and explore different points of view. You will find hundreds of manuals teaching how to read the tarot, most of them very good, but with Madame Pamita's Magical Tarot, you finally have the opportunity to learn directly from someone who sees the tarot, not only as an oracle, but as a living tool or even as a key to access the entire wisdom of the cosmos, charged with its own spirit and personality. In these pages, wise Madame Pamita will help you discover a complex series of practices that you may have previously ignored and that will make your life much easier in numerous ways. Once you read this book, you will not see your tarot deck the same way. It will evolve from its role as an answering oracle to becoming an extension of yourself and an important part of your day-to-day life.

To Morgan and Miles who make my life magical every day.

Like sailing a ship, writing a book takes a whole crew. I like to think of my ship as being a magical schooner filled with a crew of happy lady pirates (with a guy or two around to keep things interesting!).

An unending flow of gratitude and appreciation to the experienced navigator of our brave sailing vessel: my editor, Judika Illes, who has steered the treacherous waters of book creation many, many times as a writer and an editor. With her loving support and encouragement, I knew this maiden voyage would be a success. I also want to thank the rest of the able crew at Weiser Books: Sam McKora, for keeping the shuffleboard game going; Jane Hagaman, for ensuring our treasure map was accurate; and Greg Brandenburgh, for keeping me honest when it comes to the Pirate Code of Conduct.

I also have to thank my First Mate, Judy Pokonosky, who told me in early 2016, You should write a book, let me laugh at her outrageous idea, and didn't say I told you so! after I did write one.

Magical blessings to the keeper of the skeleton keys to the pirate chest, Laura Faeth, who long, long ago told me, You're a reader, when I didn't even know it myself.

I want to send bushels of gratitude to my amazing clients. Each and every one of you is the real treasure of my life's adventure.

And lastly, a thank you kiss to my mama up in the stars, who bought me my first tarot deck and always let me be the rapscallion I am.

When we were children, we dreamed of traveling to magical places where we could go on adventures. We imagined owning mystical items that could bestow special powers and meeting fantasy beings who could grant wishes or give us secret knowledge. As we got older, we put aside those beliefs for more rational thinking: Reality is what it is, and we just have to muck our way through it as best we can. But, the truth is, magic is real and can transform situations, give us special powers, and impart deep wisdom. Magic is everywhere!

As we grow up, many of us forget how to access this magic and connect to the spirit world. However, some of us rememberwhile others discover the means to access it again through special spiritual tools. Among the most beautiful means of accessing this wisdom is the tarot. Imagine having something so small that you could put it in your pocket, but so powerful that it would allow you to gain profound spiritual knowledge and manifest a life of happiness, fulfillment, health, and plenty. Think of it as owning a portable gateway to the realm of spirit, a guide to answer our questions, and a map to help us move forward on our soul journey. The tarot is all of these things.

Much more than a device to see the future, the tarot is a powerful book of esoteric knowledge in the form of cards. Unlike most books that lead you through a series of ideas step by step, the tarot is random access. Cards are shuffled, different cards are selected, and when they are laid out, they reveal a new story each time. I have owned tarot decks since I was a little ten-year-old, and even after studying, teaching, and reading them for a living on a daily basis, I have never gotten bored with the cards and what they show me. Like the realm of spirit, the tarot is limitless. It is constantly shifting and revealing new information, new insights, and new opportunities for accessing magic in the world and creating our best experience in this lifetime.
