quality, compared to online and verbally transmitted spells — such is the reward for paying for knowledge, rather than hoping to scrounge through cast-off wit in vain hope of finding a gem.
The fact is that we live in a golden age for spell casters. No more are magic spell books printed at the mercy of what a big publisher imagines will be popular or acceptable to a mainstream pagan market. New print-on-demand technology has allowed many authors to release their spell and magic books to the public. Online stores such as The Lucky Temple are able to sell these magic books as well as other magical items such as magical spell supplies and kits.
The curious can become the wise if well-read — take a chance and see what comes.
At the age of 13, Talia Felix purchased her first tarot pack while shopping in a music store with friends, intrigued by the Rider-Waite deck’s art nouveau and gothic revival style of imagery. She continues to use this very same deck to this day. She began developing her “intellectual reading” approach to the tarot (as opposed to “spiritual reading” which implies there is no method, and one must merely be ‘gifted’ to perform it.) According to psychologist Julian Jaynes, it is natural in humans to be able to experience psychic visions, omens, or the voices of gods; and anyone can do it with a little cultivation. Talia is a firm believer in this, and writes about it in her book The Cartomancer’s Key To Tarot, The Standard Deck and All Other Form of Cards.
