Book Details
Tarot Triumphs: Accompanying these interpretations, you will find thumbnail line-drawn images of each card. These are intended for immediate guidance and are based on traditional images from the Marseilles packs. They are drawn by Robert Lee-Wade; we have conferred as to which details to include so as to give a generic version of the pack with appropriate, but not definitive, detail.5 The full-size drawings of each card appear in chapter five.

Portable Magic: Traditional magic relies on symbolism also, but in its often complex and ornate ceremonies these symbols are embodied by physical objects and instruments. For example, the magic circle is a protective shield or barrier that is physically marked or laid out on the floor or ground where the ritual is worked. It is well understood by those skilled in ritual that there is another intangible circle that exists on the astral level in the mind of the magician, without which the physical circle would be powerless. The circle held in the imagination is the living soul of the magic circle, and the physical circle laid out or marked on the floor serves as its body.

Development for Beginners: Engaging in these types of thought processes just prior to bedtime will spark your imagination and trigger your subconscious to work towards coming up with creative solutions to the problems in your life while you sleep. Consequently, it is beneficial to keep a pen and paper handy to your bed so that you can record any great ideas or breakthroughs that you have as soon as you wake up.
