4.0

Great reference for tarot beginners, although I don't agree with all of the correspondences. Super awesome spreads for readers of all levels in the back. Reading through this allowed me to really think about my personal witchy connection with each of the major arcana cards. Favorite quote: "We are at the crossroads, and we are complete."

The notes in the back of the 20th anniversary edition make this a five star read. This book is clearly a living work, which the author has returned to and worked and worked until a represents a full journey. While everything in this is not for everyone (it's Wiccan-based), it is a great primer in some of the history of modern witchcraft traditions. If you're interested in the goddess, this is also a great resource for basic incantations, chants, rituals, and meditations.
