My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The author Maria DeBlassie has an amazing perspective with her Tarot cards that lead to her connection with a magical energy that most are not aware of.
Her words spoke to me but I could not connect to her emotions when she wrote about her passion and ways in her poems. For the fact that I am open-minded about a lot of things but for me, this is out of my reach due to I stay away from things that don’t belong to God.
The author has a lot of emotions in her love to have a relationship with her Tarot cards with all respect. Those who like to have a connection with Tarot cards especially my daughter will love this book because she is learning and interested to speak to her cards.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As in previous books, Marie Deblassie takes a wonderfully informative approach to magic and it’s power by introducing it in such a relaxed way. As someone who thinks that, if I’m learning about new things, I must know EVERYTHING or else I know nothing, her approach makes learning about spirituality and all it entails much more within reach.

It’s beautiful to be led through how magic is within the world around us, and having the extra knowledge makes it both more accessible and more every day while also really teaching you and leading you through your own journey of discovery. I will continue to follow this author and continue to appreciate and participate in the magic of the world each day. If you have any interest in spirituality and what the signs all mean, do yourself a favor and enjoy the prose and beauty of Marie DeBlassie while increasing your knowledge!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read quite a few books by this author, and none of them disappoint! This one is slightly different as it is non-fiction, but I still absolutely loved every bit of it. I enjoy her point of view on magic, the Tarot, and spirituality in general. It’s no coincidence why I’ve picked up so many of her books! She writes a poem with each card she draws and really leans into how you should reflect on yourself and your situation in order to best receive answers. Instant knowledge or persistent questions will not lead you down the path you’d like with the Tarot. This author will not be losing me as a fan anytime soon, and I urge you to give any one of her books a chance. If you find yourself drawn to Tarot, spirituality, or magic, this one is definitely for you. Even if that doesn’t seem like your genre, you may be pleasantly surprised.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Conversations with the Tarot was a great descriptive book for someone trying to get into tarot or for someone who has been dabbling for some time. The author nicely breaks down the meaning of each card. After she tells you about the card, she provides a chapter on insight into that card. What I like is that she, at times, used personal stories to explain the insight. She also gives multiple possible meanings depending on what is happening in that person’s life. As a person who has dabbled in tarot for many years, I find it hard to remember each card or I have a hard time really grasping the meaning with the mundane description that sometimes comes with the cards. This book gave me a better understanding to those cards, plus her personal touch on the meaning of the cards helped me put a personal touch to the reading. When I can combine the two ideas together I tend to get more out of the reading, itself. I will definitely revert back to this book when doing tarot in the future.

What an interesting read! I thought that the insights she gave to the cards were very well thought out, and it’s clear just how much she connects with the meta world around her. Honestly, it takes a lot of vulnerability to put things like that into the world around you, let alone into a book that lots of people are going to read. I know I’m going to be musing through this book multiple times, and I recommend it to anyone struggling to understand their cards and just starting their journey!

I have read several works from this author and it’s such a delight! Being new to tarot, this was interesting to read 78 word stories with each of the cards. It’s an interesting way of meditating your way through the deck. I believe in DeBlassie’s alchemy with books. If you’re into tarot, this will make a wonderful addition!

I love Tarot and Oracle cards and get so excited over a new opportunity to read about Tarot. I was excited to stumble across Conversations with Tarot and loved the unique format of the book. So many books start with the Fool’s journey and I loved that this book started with the Ace of Wands the and urge for new beginnings for the author. The poem introduction for each card was very well written and the insights were personal yet educational. I think the two of cups was my favorite but perhaps that’s my own personal attachment to the card.. I really felt like I was talking Tarot with a close friend and it was so much more exciting than a wordy text. It’s difficult to write a review on such a unique type of book but I will definitely be adding a paperback copy to my Tarot shelves!

I found this to be a book you can’t necessarily sit down and read cover-to-cover. It’s helpful to read the poetic descriptions of a card and the thoughts the author has written to go with it, then step away and let the information marinate.
This isn’t like a classic Tarot book, which can seem somewhat technical. I feel like this work has more of a gentle flow to it that softens the information and allows it sink into your subconscious.
An interesting reading experience.

This book has me so excited! I immediately felt drawn to read it as I have read several of this author’s works and am obsessed, but became giddy at the title! I am a burgeoning Tarot reader and love to read anything and everything I can about it. This is a short read with a mix of poetry, tidbits, and descriptions that will captivate anyone wishing to delve more into the mystery of the Tarot – or even if you aren’t, it is still an interesting perspective to learn more about it. If you are interested in magic, the Tarot, or anything witchy, I highly recommend this author and her work. She is a knowledgeable and skilled writer, and I give this five sparkling stars!

This was a very unique take on tarot and magic as a whole. I love the way she had a short poem for each tarot card. It gets you thinking more about yourself and your own interpretation of each card. I love that it was more a go with the flow and free feeling type of explaination of each card. I will definitely be looking into more of her books.

I am not very familiar with Tarot cards, but I found this book to be an interesting guide to learning more about tarot cards and finding the magic in the ordinary. I appreciated getting her thoughts on how she came to study the tarot and the role it plays in her life. I read her previous novel and felt this was a really nice follow up to that everyday magic and allowing yourself to open up to it. She had a tarot deck that she goes through and gives an interpretation of what the card means and what it means to her. If you are new to the tarot or have a firmer understanding, this is a great book for you.

I absolutely loved this book; I know nothing of tarot cards so reading about them put a different perspective for me in tarot reading. There was so much you can learn from this book that I almost want to get some myself. The poetry was so well written that it was lovely and then matched with the cards was so informative. This book went into so much depth and learning from showing how to read the cards but also how she herself reads the cards and how they can help and guide you. It teaches the different cards and decks, and they all have different meanings and symbolism to each. This was a short easy, very informative book, such an amazing book for someone who is interested in tarot reading or wants to get started.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book shares the author’s unique perspective on Tarot and has similar ideologies to her book “Practically Pagan – An Alternative Guide to Magical Living.” Both books help you to see that there is magic in everyday things such as books or cards and you can take what comfort and healing you want or can use from them. She stated in Practically Pagan, “that magic isn’t the hocus pocus everyone thinks it is, but rather a way of getting to know yourself.” I love that thought, and how, in this book, “Conversations with the Tarot”, she shows how she draws from the cards along with her interpretations of them. She encourages the reader to not be so rigid and just have a set in stone meaning for each card, but to rather study them, respect them, and learn them in your own way. Her poems for each card were also very creative and gave you a more personal insight into each card, instead of the typical, this card means this and you need to do this course book style of writing that we often see with learning tarot books. This was such an easy-flowing yet informative way to learn and delve deeper into tarot.

I’m a fan of paranormal books and picked this book up after I read her “Practically Pagan – An Alternative Guide to Magical Living.” I loved learning a little more about magic in that book and thought it would be interesting to learn about tarot. Being a Christian and reading books of this nature, I have been criticized, but I enjoy learning how different people believe and practice those beliefs in their lives. It is interesting to see different perspectives on the world and to venture out of your comfort zone to see how others view the world and things in it. So don’t be afraid to learn about others’ experiences through creative books like this one.

This book provides a unique approach to tarot. Unlike the typical guide book, this is more of a journal of the authors own personal journey with tarot. For each card that was pulled in her tarot journey, she wrote a poem, and insights to each. She also encourages readers to form their own understanding of each card and the symbolism within each. Through her writing, she encouraged me to pull out my deck and create my own tarot journal.

I was inspired by DeBlassie’s writings to not only continue my journey with the Tarot, but to pick it back up. I’ve always been interested in what many consider to be the “occult” or “dark” or “magical” and I’ve always viewed those interests as just part of my world and who I am. When I was first introduced to DeBlassie’s writings, I was so comforted because I finally felt like I found someone who thought very similarly to me and felt the way I did about things. I really love the way DeBlassie writes…I always feel as those she can sense what I’m needing to hear and is able to effectively communicate that and put it to paper. I enjoy her prose and poetry as well as her straightforwardness and realness. I love her unique take on various aspects and the Tarot is no different. If you are at all interested in the Tarot, please pick up this book and just have a looksee. It’s easy to read and extremely informative.

Wow! Another amazing book by my favorite author! I found it super helpful! Maria DeBlassie knows exactly how to speak to your soul. I felt every word she said and everything between the lines that she didn’t! It is amazing how much everyday magic is in our lives at any moment! Conversations With The Tarot among her other books have been exactly what I needed to hear exactly when I needed it. From someone who has always had an affinity for tarot and other things that people find “weird”, thank you. When I read your books I actually feel like someone understands me and that is a rarity! I will treasure this book and use it frequently in my own divination’s and readings! I highly recommend this book if you are interested in tarot or just beautiful soul reaching poetry! I beg you to give this book a try! I can’t wait to discover the next amazing book by Maria DeBlassie!

Conversations with the Tarot is a series of poems representing each card Maria DeBlassie pulls from her collection. I like how she’s able to see a positive perspective in each of the cards and how both the poems and the insights are so beautiful and useful and I have saved a lot of them to look back on in future. My favourite card was The Chariot Upright. I recommend this book because it’s interesting, insightful, relatable, and beautiful. I found it very useful as an introduction to tarot. ‘I’m dizzy with the wanting.’

I’ve always had an interest in Tarot and when I first got into readings, I had heard so many different things, I wish I had a book like this to read first. I found the author’s perspective refreshing, and I found it interesting to compare my own experiences with theirs. Even reading this after having my own experiences and forming my own views, I still found this incredibly insightful and useful.
The poetry was brilliant – a poem for each card in the deck (78). It fits so well and I thought it was a touch of brilliance.

I’ve previously read another book by this author which I absolutely loved and shaped much of my recent views on magical living so I knew this would be the book for me. I love the author’s perspectives and openness to differences. This book cements that I will continue to love them and seek out their writings.

As ever, Maria DeBlassie has crafted exquisitely simple magic. As much as I wish I had this insight when I 1st discovered Tarot , finding it at this time in my life now has been a delightful synchronisity . For me, the only thing missing is that there isn’t an upright AND reversed meeting with all the cards, but I do understand why. The wisdom in these words resonates deeply, & I recognized my own connection to Tarot in this book. There was so much of myself & my connection that I felt conflicted about, & reading this soothed my soul. Acceptance radiates from the pages & encourages you to embrace your own journey with an open heart. The writing is lovely & I wish more people spoke this way tbh. Strong in her gentleness, powerful in her wisdom, & magical in her existence, Maria DeBlassie is a true gem. Encountering her is the universe giving you a gift.

Conversations with Tarot: Bewitching Meditations on Reading the Cards by Maria DeBlassie is my third experience reading from this amazing author and she never disappoints me, no matter the topic!

In this particular book, Maria takes us into the mystic world of using tarot, but shows us that there is so much more to tarot than simply understanding the meaning of each card. To really use the cards, you need to have a deeper communication built with each one and in this book we are guided by the author on how she does exactly that. DeBlassie knows how to turn all of her writing into a magical experience for her reader, but in a way that can be easily understood by any person new to the practice. I highly recommend for anyone interested in a different sort of guide to the depths of tarot, but also to experience this author I have come to adore.

I was extremely excited to read this book from the moment I read the title. If you were ever curious about Tarot or simply wanting to see how someone’s path may differ from other tarot readers, this is the book for you.

In this unique book, I thoroughly enjoyed how the author chose to describe each card and their placement, along with her personal insights based upon her experiences and knowledge gained over the years.

To top off an even more epic examination of the art of tarot, the author provides a comprehensive conclusion for the readers to learn a bit more about the craft and her love of the process before wrapping it up.

I enjoyed reading this and appreciated the author’s honesty regarding her need to continue the ongoing learning process.

I’m thankful to have come across this book and the opportunity to learn about something that has piqued my interest for many years.

4 Stars

 

Conversations with the Tarot: Bewitching Meditations on Reading the Cards by Maria DeBlassie shares her love of Tarot cards, giving us insights and a beginners guide to exploring the Tarot for ourselves.
She has woven together 78 poems, one for each card in the deck- along with witchy insights, musings, how to read the cards, stories and messages to inspire us to begin meditating on our own decks and adding a little Tarot wisdom to our lives.
Having read Ms. DeBlassie other books I can see how this build on what she has already shared/taught us about creating our own ‘magic’ in our lives, to inspire us to design richer, fulfilling, and more meaningful lives.
The author always produces an intriguing read that gives me plenty to ponder by sharing through her own experiences, providing lessons, messages, and interesting insights.
Well worth the read, especially if you are drawn to the Tarot, Wicca, Bruja, meditation, or new age/age-old spirituality.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Maria DeBlassie!
