A fun introduction to tarot especially if you want to read for others

Kitchen Table Tarot by Melissa Cynova

May 8, 2021 by Mobius_Walker 5 Comments

This is another entry in the Kitchen Table series by Melissa Cynova. This book, Kitchen Table Tarot, is an introduction to tarot cards and tarot reading. Cynova breaks the book down into three main parts: an introduction to tarot and tarot reading in general, her interpretation of the cards and how she reads, and a guide on how to do readings for other people. Overall, I felt that the the first and third parts had enough overlap that having multiple chapters at the start and end […]

Interesting exploration on how we find meaning, iffy delivery

The Castle of Crossed Destinies by Italo Calvino

December 18, 2020 by Mobius_Walker 3 Comments

This book is told in two parts: The Castle and The Tavern. In both situations, a group of strangers come together around a table and strangely, inexplicably find themselves all mute. They yearn to tell each other their stories, and thankfully someone has a deck of Tarot cards with which each person attempts to choose cards to lay out in various configurations in order to communicate their tale. In the first half, The Castle, things are orderly; people take turns telling their story and they […]

Paging Mary Sue. Paging Mary Sue to the Tarot Academy

Tarot Academy 2: Spells of Breath and Blade by Sarah Piper

September 13, 2020 by Mobius_Walker Leave a Comment

We are still in the midst of a pandemic, so I think we all need some fun, light-hearted reads to keeps spirits high. I figured that the second installment in the Tarot Academy books would be that fun read. It became difficult to finish this book though on account that my eyes were constantly rolled to the back of my head. Where the first book in this series created an interesting and well-explained magical system that was balanced well with the romance parts of the story, […]

An easy transition to Tarot

Exploring Tarot Using Radiant Rider-Waite by Avia Venefica

August 24, 2020 by Mobius_Walker Leave a Comment

I recently bought this book and Tarot card deck box set. The cards themselves are beautifully illustrated and colored. However, I’m here to review the book. Venefica starts with a history of Tarot and a brief introduction to how the Tarot deck works. Venefica then dips into a glossary and overview of larger symbology. She does a great job of laying the foundation of exploration of the cards in depth through the book. Each explanation is easy to understand and doesn’t overload the reader with […]

I was prepared to eye-roll through this entire thing– I couldn’t put it down though

Tarot Academy 1: Spells of Iron and Bone by Sarah Piper

August 23, 2020 by Mobius_Walker Leave a Comment

Magic is real, and the world knows it. Unfortunately for the witches and mages, magick is also illegal, and Stevie just performed powerful magick on a non-magical person. Powerful enough that he died. Stevie must now go into hiding at the magical academy that previously threw out her parents for their heretical views. When she arrives at the academy she starts her journey to master her magick (which is largely based on the Tarot) in order to complete the work that her mother started and […]

Our heroine continues to show extremely questionable taste in menfolk

Endless Knight by Kresley Cole

February 15, 2014 by Malin Leave a Comment

This is book two in The Arcana Chronicles and as such not the best place to start. This review will contain spoilers for book one in the series, Poison Princess, which is also where you want to begin, if you’re interested in the series. Although if you read my review of that book, why would you actually want to read the books at all? Still, Kiala over on Vaginal Fantasy Hangout seems to love them, so what do I know? At the end of Poison Princess, Evangeline, or Evie, or the […]
