Editorial Reviews

Review
"The Wheel of Destiny" is highly recommended reading for all serious students and practitioners of tarot divination and metaphysical studies." -- James Cox, Midwest Book Review, October 1999

I bought your book and did my Master Spread. I'm amazed by my reading. Thanks for writing this book." -- Sandra Jensen, Toronto, Canada

Patricia McLaine is a well trained Tarot reader who uses the BOTA system and gives credit to directors Paul Foster Case and Ann Davies for all their work. However, McLaine has her own way of laying the cards in a 22 card spread which is not traditional and does not relate to the usual interpretation.

Mclaine is a learned Tarot reader who has updated the ancient methods and added a sprinkling of New Age ideas, and she's done a good job of it. She has allowed the BOTA message to work through her and then improved on it with her own insights.

In summation, BOTA students will find this book a nice companion to their work, while others find it provocative throughout. John S. Woodsmall -- Aspects Book Review

The Wheel of Destiny is a comprehensive book on the Major Arcana that contains astrological comparisons and Qabalistic correspondences which enable the reader to learn to more accurately interpret a tarot spread.

As a study on the Major Arcana with regards to indepth spreads for use with clients or self, The Wheel of Destiny becomes an excellent addition to one's tarot collection. Laura Cremeans -- Sagittarius Sun Times

This Master Spread evolved from an astrological layout and roughly represents the Wheel of the Zodiac overlaid on the Qabalistic Tree of Life. A working knowledge of astrology is helpful but not absolutely necessary to use this method to good advantage. Complete instructions are included for beginners in this well-designed manual which professionals will also appreciate. Cayli Levitan -- Omega New Age Directory

This is a significant work. As it covers the 22 Tarot trumps in each of the 22 possible positions in the Master Spread, it covers much ground; literally much paper too, for this is a nice thick tome of over 450 pages of insightful text and illustrations.

The subtitle claims: The Tarot reveals your master plan. Certainly I believe it can. More to the point, I believe with the help of Ms. McLaine's book to guide you, it does. Recommended to those who wish to understand the Tarot better and the way it can be used as tool on the voyage of self-discovery. J.L. -- Prediction, UK.

After a brief introduction to the system each chapter begins with a basic presentation of a key, including Hebrew letter, key words and occupational aptitudes. Then every possible position of this Key within the Master Spread is discussed for a thorough understanding and ease in interpreting the Life Path of our selves and others. The careful and reflective reader will learn his or her own special role on the Earth plane and in worlds beyond space and time as revealed in our own 'Wheel of Destiny.'

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent Tarot resource, May 23, 2000

By	Anthony Louis (USA) - See all my reviews

I had the pleasure of meeting the author several years ago at a book convention that introduced the first edition of her book. I got a copy which I have read and re-read and have thoroughly enjoyed. Patricia McLaine has packed this volume with incredibly useful and insightful information about the Tarot. It is one of the few books on the Tarot that I refer to over and over again.
