Book Description

Is it possible, using nothing more than a seemingly simple Tarot deck, to tap into a realm beyond time—a dimension in which the events of the "future" are revealed to you? Can you discover—and sometimes change—your destiny? Or, speak a prophecy aloud and affect events that have not yet been set in motion? All of this, with just a Tarot deck?

In this groundbreaking and provocative work, professional Tarot reader Ly de Angeles shares a wealth of knowledge, offering proven techniques for using the Tarot to predict the future. She presents bold new theories on the nature of time and reality, exploring the connections between the Tarot, the Qabbalistic Tree of Life, and quantum concepts. Throughout the book, de Angeles includes fascinating case histories and mind-expanding exercises you can try for yourself. Tarot Theory and Practice explores:

Quantum time and multiple lives  +  Shadow reality  +  Free will and fate   
The Tree of Life  +  Personal energy fields  +  Gods and ghosts + The random factor
Predictions and prophesies  +  Self-protection and psychic clag

A comprehensive guide to card interpretations and Tarot card meaning with several sample spreads will help you gain the skills needed to do Tarot readings for yourself and others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definative works, December 4, 2007

This review is from: Tarot Theory and Practice (Paperback)

If you are into Tarot or would like to be, then read this. It will blow your mind. Ly moves beyond what a lot of people perceive as Tarot and expands the significance of this much misunderstood tool. From viewing the universe, and reevaluating what we see as 'time' this book takes you to a far far different place. For those wishing to hold on to their old beliefs, it will be a hard book to read. For others who are seeking, and whose minds are open. Then your mind will open up and lightbulbs will go off at each turn of the page. You don't have to discard all your ideas but you will have to re-think others. Some of the interpretations that you might have been struggling with, then, you see why that is. Others that you already knew, well that nodding along with your book can give you a headache. One interesting bit for me was the interpretations of groupings, which pinpoint specific modern-day problems such as drug addiction. This book needs more than one read and is set in such a way as to teach you tarot in a year and a day. You will learn, practice, and be astounded at your own ability and the God that is Tarot.

This review is from: Tarot Theory and Practice (Paperback)

Ly de Angeles' TAROT: THEORY AND PRACTICE provides an excellent survey of how to use the Tarot to predict the future. New theories on the nature of time and reality go far beyond your usual `how to interpret the deck' titles, drawing important connections between the Tarot, Qabbalistic concepts, and even quantum physics.
