Tarot Power: 22 Keys to Unlock: 22 Keys to Unlocking Magick, Spellcraft and Meditation [Englisch] [Taschenbuch]

I bought the book "tarot power" by lexa rosean

And I find it to be one of the best grimoires of magick !!!

It covers so many issues...

In the book you find information about each card,

medatation with the card

and breathtaking spells for our modern life.

lexa write spells for everyone, for straight and gays , for musician,actors, and artists.

Spells to create illusions and glamour ....and more ...and more.....

I find lexa style is refreshing ,funny ,and wise

I highly recommend this book !!!!

Contained alot of information regarding spells and such with the Major Arcana. This is a book that will guide you as you create your own spells.

Looking for the book "Power Tarot", I some how mistook the two I guess. Although I found and ordered the proper book, I must have forgotten to take this one out of my shopping cart. I'll review it since I have it, but I'm not rating it based on the fact that it's not what I was looking for.

Firstly, it's not *really* a tarot book. It's a spell book. Not all of the so-called spells in this book utilize tarot cards. Basically, using the themes of the major arcana, the author sets out to explain each card and suggests spells she would associate with the individual card interpretations. Some spells require you to use cards, some require you to effectively destroy cards, some require you to photocopy cards, but most do not involve the use of a tarot card at all.

It's a new age hodgepodge of stuff, including an African tradition of crossroad work (though minimally). Most of the spell ingredients are pretty simple and things easily acquired if you don't already have them at home. Lots of areas are covered, from talking to the dead to strengthening your relationship with your mother. The back contains an index to help you find what you're looking for. Are they any good? Do they work? I wouldn't know lol.

Spells she associated with the Devil card, for instance, are 'Devil Dough' for money and prosperity, 'Sexy Devil' "to bring out the Lil' Kim or Dennis Rodman lurking within", 'Path of the Beast' "to prepare you for the descent into the darker side of life", 'Out of Bondage Spell', and 'The Devil's Dregs' "to open your psychic intuition for card reading. None of those involve the use of a tarot card. Further, I'm not sure about bringing out the Lil' Kim in anyone.

In addition to a brief explanation of the major arcana cards, she also gives a little history for some (but not all) of the practices and uses of the ingredients. Had such information regarding origin etc been provided in every case, it would've made the book more interesting to me. Unfortunately, this book isn't very even in that respect. If she provided background info for each spell and all ingredients used (the what, where and why) I, personally, would have found it a more interesting read. But, I will give it three stars because I thought this book was pretty unique. It's okay for what it is, but I think the author would do well to refine it.

Some of the spells don't seem to jibe well with the card meanings, but over all she does okay in that area. I'll assume the author was just ... looking for a way to be creative. I will admit that it's different. Not exactly useful for me, but different. For $5 or so, just to get the free super-saver shipping, it's not a bad buy if this sort of thing interests you. Mine, however, will be finding a new home at the local Goodwill. =-/
