I have studies the Occult for over thirty years, and have read many books on the subject. Most of the material is useless as far as doing practical magic. Carl Jung wrote that the the Archetypes run our physical world, and the Archetypes can be acessed via the Subconcious (Right-Brain.)

The Tarot cads are pictures of the Archetypes, and when presented in a dramic and symbolic way, with ritual and perhaps candles and incense,the Archetype in our Unconcious is activated, "Constellated", and things happen...sometimes quickly.

Like the other reviewer,I found the spells are more likely to "kick in" (work) if you first perform the Lesser Banishing Ritual Of The Pentagram, then do what the book says.

I got the book in the mail, set up a quick altar, lit some candles and incense, and displayed the cards for a love attraction spell to bring back a girl who I had not been with for over a month. Even before I finished performing the spell, a car pulled into my driveway, and there standing at my door was the girl I wanted back.I had conjured her up...The spell had worked with blinding speed. Coincidence? Synchronicity?........Perhaps...But that's the way these spells work: They simply deliver what you want. The key to power here is activating the world-shaping power of the Archetypes.A word to the Wise is sufficent. This book hits the ground running, and gives you spells that work. This book has brought good things into my life, and the spells get right at the meat of the matter. I highly reccomend this book if you are looking for powerful but simple spells that actually work.Don't forget to do the LBRP first...Scripts of the ritual are all over the WWW. This book is a lot of power for a good price, and the cover is very tasteful as well. It would make a thoughtful gift.

I have owned this book for many years. I love it, my friends and I share it. I have done many spells from it, and honestly. This book works in very mysterious ways. If you have a little experience in the tarot already, and understand it's meanings somewhat, then you will like this. It's almost too easy to use. The nice thing about this book is that all of the spells are positive. It promotes transformation, and inner peace. I highly recommend this book, to anyone looking for a unique approach to integrating tarot into their magicks. The system represented here is very stable and fairly safe.

great idea! i had used tarot cards as focii before, but this is much better. the spells are all simple to lay out, no harmful or negative spells in the whole bunch, and very clearly written. another advantage is how portable all these spells are! if you travel a lot, or have a small ritual space/lack of privacy/whatever these spells can be set up with just the deck, and the book!

Janina Renee performed a work of magick in itself when she wrote this book. The spells and instructions within it are simple and understandable for anyone interested in Magick or Tarot. The wide variety of spells is also a treat if you are looking for any one specific thing. Money spells, love spells, even spells to bind trouble makers, this book has it all. I highly recommend it.

With this book,Janina Renee brings us a first. A spellbook on the tarot that one can use without knowing anything about the cards. The book combines many ingredients of modern spellworking, including candles, incense, and stones. However, she brings a totally new element to spell working. Instead of using the cards to merely tell you if conditions are right for the spell, you can now use the cards to cast the spell itself. However, the thing that I really like about this book is it's simplicity. Instead of reading like one of Ray Buckland's incredibly boring "Practical magick" works or Aliester Crowley's "confusing-until-you-can-understand-magick" books, this book is very clear and concise in its writing style. It's a book that you can understand-even if you have never picked up a magickal text. All you need are the cards and the book, and you can cast any spell you wish.

I totally recommend this book. I just bought it over the weekend since I have tarot cards but always wanted to use them for something more than readings. I tried the love spell and action spell since I was currently having some issues with my boyfriend. The next day I receive a page from him saying 'I love you' and he's never said that. I'm not sure if that's proof enough that these spells work, but knowing about what a slow-mover he is, I believe they definitely helped!

I admit when Tarot Spells first appeared, I was skeptical; can something like this work? Does it work? My experiences with the knowledge within show that you don't have to have an understanding of Tarot Cards or even how to read them;Simply look up a spell or a problem, do the simple layouts and visualizations, believe they work---- and they will.

Simply, this book is great. The book is not steeped in any particular religion - it is a spell book as the title states. The tarot is the perfect tool for spells and you can, of course add any extra ritual enhancements as you like. The spells are easy to perform, relate to and the visualizations are wonderful!

This is a wonderful book, and I highly recommend it.
As a working witch and a tarot reader I find this book very handy. The spells are easy to perform, but the reader always gets enough room and guidance to be creative and personal without causing a little WWIII.
I use this book quite often, and the spells work brilliantly.

As a tarot reader, for many years. I found this book very easy for the beginner or for any level. I have used several of the spells. They do work . Janina makes it easy step by step to use the book. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in the magic of tarot cards. But just remember about your karma, when doing any type of spellwork
