For the student of Tarot who knows the cards, but feels like there's further to go, Tarot Interactions offers lessons on: psychic ability, understanding patterns, how pairs of cards interact with each other, how a card interacts with its own position in a layout, understanding layouts as a whole, using language and storytelling to deepen a reading, and inter-acting with querents. These lessons offer a sense that the cards can be more than the sum of their parts. Tarot Interactions is designed to take the student from good to great, from understanding to experiencing. It is a tool to stop reading the Tarot and start interacting with it.

This illuminating book explores polarity from many angles, examining how the idea has evolved throughout history, why it's important in the occult, and what its relationship is to gender and sexual orientation. Deborah Lipp shows you what it means to both include polarity magic and be inclusive. Bending the Binary takes a deep look at how to add a third perspective to polar concepts in magic, including day and night, male and female, self and other, force and form. Deborah shares rituals, journal prompts, and detailed research to support each topic. She also teaches you how to incorporate binary-bending practices into your personal magical system. This groundbreaking book encourages everyone to expand their perceptions and strengthen their magic.
