Tarot Magick: Discover Yourself Through the Cards
Lindsay Squire, known to a large social media audience as The Witch of the Forest, built her following by making witchcraft genuinely accessible rather than intentionally obscure. Tarot Magick, the fourth book in her guide series, carries that philosophy into the world of tarot. It's written explicitly as a starting point, designed for someone who has just picked up their first deck and wants to learn the cards, develop their intuition, and eventually use those cards as part of a lived practice. The self-discovery angle is central from the first chapter.
The book covers all 78 cards with upright and reversed meanings, including astrological correspondences, numerological associations, and the elemental framework underlying each suit. Squire uses illustrations from her own Tarot Magick deck, designed with illustrator Viki Lester, as visual anchors throughout. The deck's imagery is rooted in Rider-Waite-Smith symbolism, so readers can apply the interpretations to virtually any RWS-based deck they already own. A foldout jacket panel doubles as a three-card spread layout. Browse my tarot and divination books for companion titles that go deeper on specific topics Squire introduces.
Spells, Rituals, and the Grimoire Section
What separates Tarot Magick from a standard card meaning reference is the grimoire material Squire draws from her personal practice. She includes tarot-based spells, rituals for self-love and intention-setting, journaling prompts that use daily card draws as reflection tools, and tips for incorporating tarot into a broader witchcraft practice. This is the self-development thread that runs through the whole book: the cards are not just a divination tool but a mirror for understanding your own patterns, needs, and blind spots.
Squire also covers practical basics that newer books sometimes skip: how to choose and cleanse a deck, what yes-or-no readings actually involve, how time appears in a reading, and how to blend numerology and astrology into interpretations. It's a well-organized introduction to tarot as a complete practice rather than a collection of card definitions. Pair it with a deck from my tarot decks and divination collection to put the guidance into immediate use.
How to Use Tarot Magick by Lindsay Squire
A guided path from opening the book to building an active tarot practice.
-
Start With the Foundations
Start with Part One, which covers how to choose a deck, care for it, and establish a reading practice. Squire introduces the Major and Minor Arcana, element associations, and numerology before asking you to pull a single card.
-
Learn the Card Meanings
Move through the card meanings section, using Squire's illustrations to anchor each card's symbolism. She covers upright and reversed meanings, astrological correspondences, and the yes-or-no answers each card traditionally suggests.
-
Apply the Grimoire Practices
Once comfortable with the cards, explore the grimoire section. Squire provides tarot-based spells, journaling prompts, and self-love rituals that turn a reading practice into an active tool for personal understanding and growth.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I carry this because Squire earns her following through clarity and consistency, not hype. The self-discovery framing is genuine and useful, not just a marketing angle, and the practical grimoire content gives the book a reason to exist beyond simply cataloging card meanings. If you're looking for an entry-level tarot book that will actually get used rather than shelved, this is a strong candidate.
