Summary: excellent magickal tool
Review: As someone who has never had much luck divining with the tarot but loves the cards anyway, I am really pleased with this book. It has several ways to use the cards, with a minimum of paraphalia for good results. The rituals are easy, quick and look to be very effective. I particularly like the ceremonial methods of using the cards in ritual. I am really looking forward to working with this book.

Summary: Another excellent tool from DMK!
Review: This is another fine tool from Donald Michael Kraig. The book centers on the topic of using tarot to cast spells and for pathworking and other magical activities. Like DMK's other books, particularly his excellent _Modern Magic_, the book is written in a clear style that makes complex ideas seem simple.
The book is aimed at readers who already have some experience with tarot. There is enough material here to help one learn to do divination, but it would be best if someone unfamiliar with tarot worked through an introductory tarot text first.
The book intends to bring readers up to the point where they can write their own magic as independent magicians. I look forward to trying the techniques in the book.
