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.

What makes magic work? What can it do and what can't it do? This straightforward, easy-to-follow guide introduces you to the four necessary components of magic: interconnection, transcending space and time, intention and focus, and power. Power is given particular emphasis, exploring topics like where it comes from, how to access it, how to flavour it to suit the purpose, and various methods of sending it. Magical Power for Beginners presents a wide range of topics, including sympathetic magic, meditation, spell construction, use of ritual space, evocation, and magical tools. The magic presented here is usable by practitioners of any system and is designed to help you understand magic on a fundamental level, giving you the skills you need to perform more effective spells and rituals.

Break magical polarity free from outmoded ideas of gender and heteronormativity while still celebrating polar energy. 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.

Fully revised and expanded with fresh insights, this new edition of The Elements of Ritual is a must-have resource on Wiccan ritual. Not only does it teach you step-by-step how to cast a circle, but it also explains why each step is important.

The Elements of Ritual now features updates throughout on gender and polarity as well as all-new sections on the history of elemental associations and raising the cone of power. This edition also includes alternate orders for the traditional steps of ritual. You will learn how to write your own rituals, discover new ideas on magical tools, and use meditations to deepen your understanding of Wicca's most enduring rite.
