ILLUMINATED

Readers can develop their intuition and hone their personal tarot practice with this journal that includes descriptions of each card, thought-provoking questions, and space to reflect on the spiritual connections made with every tarot reading.

ILLUMINATED is at once a primer on tarot and a sacred space to record and reflect on one's tarot readings. As readers cultivate a personal practice--whether that means pulling a daily card to set an intention or a spread to ask for guidance on a time-sensitive obstaclethis journal is a place to work through tough challenges, come to surprising conclusions, and see things clearly.

An informative introduction includes tips for beginners followed by a glossary of the 78 cards in a standard deck. The common interpretations are listed for each card, along with a pair of corresponding questions for the reader to reflect on. The Fool card, for example, typically represents a curious, fearless novice who is open to change and ready for anything. When you pull the Fool, readers will be asked to consider: How can I be more playful and less fearful? What journey is about to begin?

With an imitation cloth cover and hits of foil on the case and spine, this journal is the perfect size for a bedside table or everyday tote bag. The bulk of the interior is filled with dot-gridded pages for readers to write and/or draw. As readers strengthen their understanding of tarot, ILLUMINATED will help light the way to more introspective readings and a deeper connection to the spiritual world around us.
