Dark Reads Review
I have been so excited about reading and reviewing this book! Those who know me know I love the Moon so my interest was piqued as soon as I read the title. On first glance you may think this is just another book with Tarot spreads, but it is MUCH more than that!
The book is divided up into 13 chapters, one for each month of the year and the corresponding moon for the month and a further chapter for the Blue Moon. There are 64 spreads, 42 spells, rituals and sidebars in each chapter.
Each chapter talks about the energy that the Moon for that month brings and then provides spells and rituals to tap into that energy.
For example; April – The Pink Moon, the energy that comes with the Pink Moon is about tuning into your internal guidance, reflection and clarity. The spreads and rituals in this chapter include Tuning into your internal guidance, Summoning Happiness and Sidebars on Shining your brightest and more.
I will share a few pics from this chapter for you to see how the book is laid out and how beautiful the content is!
Each Chapter has a title page with details of the Moon and the energies along with the types of spreads and rituals in each.
Above is an example of the sidebars included
I love the way the spreads have been created and explained, they are extremely user friendly and appropriate for all levels of experience
Example of a spell, also beautifully written and explained. (I hope you can read this ok, it’s difficult to get a good image of text from the page of a book)
Each chapter follows the same layout.
There really is so much information in this book, I shared one of the sidebars above but just to give you an idea on some of the things covered in the sidebars throughout.
Shuffling and drawing Tarot Cards, The Art and science of meditation, planting the seeds of intention, when your significator card changes, on the timing of spells and rituals, the wisdom of flowers and animal symbolism in Tarot, just to name a few!
I also wanted to talk about how amazing the introduction to Tarot By The Moon is. There is a wealth of information. It talks about the correlation between Tarot and the Moon, interpreting Tarot, Suits and court cards, Numerology, symbols and imagery seen in the Tarot and what they mean, days of the week and corresponding energy, the influences and qualities of the Moon phases and color correspondences.
Tarot By The Moon is much more than your run of the mill spread and ritual book. It is a treasure trove of information and teaching, it’s an amazing tool for learning and self growth. I would recommend this for anyone who reads Tarot or is learning to read Tarot.
Tarot By The Moon is fresh odd the press, published in the US in August 2021 and the UK and Canada September 2021, if you haven’t ordered a copy yet my advise would be, go order a copy now!
