Cherry Parra is a Mexican left-hand path witch residing in Mexico. She majored in Hispanic literature and has an innate and inherited connection to the occult practices—Parra’s magic stems from a matriarchal lineage of healers. Her great-grandmother was a witch, a curandera (traditional folk healer) from Oaxaca in southern Mexico, who people in the community would turn to when they needed healing in matters of the body and spirit. Cherry’s life mission is to shine a light on the uncomfortable truths most people like to ignore. The shadows are her second home and greatest teachers. Cherry lives and maintains a closed spiritual practice in Mexico from where she reads tarot for a select international clientele that includes artists, creatives, and visionaries.

“What makes The Left-Hand Path of Tarot compelling is the precision and originality of its perspective. Parra’s interpretation offers a unique way of engaging the tarot, presenting the cards as a practical system that functions as a tool, a weapon, and a compass for navigating one’s life. Through confrontation, choice, and empowerment, the cards become instruments of agency and insight, as the book approaches themes and experiences often left unexplored in tarot literature with an audacious boldness.”—Mat Auryn, author of The Psychic Art of Tarot, Psychic Witch, and Mastering Magick
