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.

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 was an easy read as well as fast paced. I recommend it as a beginner book for tarot cards. I will recommend to people I know just getting introduced to tarot. It was a refresher for me. It was a good book I’m definitely will look back at it for references.

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. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/56267508-jasmin”>View all my reviews</a>

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.

Conversations With The Tarot By: Maria DeBlassie Review by: Susan Ratchford 5 Stars
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!

I really enjoyed this book and I have to say that it was helpful to me. I was excited to read this book. The author has a creative way to bring the subject to the reader. I think this will be a useful tool to help me not only better understand but also learn how to better read Tarot. I really found this book to be very unique and the author’s words colorful. I really enjoyed the opportunity to be able to see this subject through another’s eyes. I really would recommend this book to anyone interested in this subject. It provides an open look into the cards and a way to better interpret them.

As a person who has dabbled, this book gave me so much more insight than I had before. It is well written and easy to understand. If you want to know more about tarot cards and this subject piques your interest, I definitely recommend reading Conversations with Tarot. You’ll learn so much and more.

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 have read several books by Maria DeBlassie and I really like her style of writing. This book made me feel like I was having a conversation with her and learning about the cards. I’m sure I will read this one more than once. As always, I never get what I think I expect from her books, but I get exactly what I need to. If you are interested in tarot cards, I recommend this book.

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.

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…

A truly interesting book in which the author explains her views and experiences with the Tarot. She explains the deck she uses the most and what each card she uses means to her. Being able to read and learn about this from the viewpoint of someone who does this everyday and isn’t a “carnival psychic” is nice. I came away feeling like I learned some new items. She gives off positive energy with her writing, yet, I also feel she gives straight facts. I enjoyed reading this author’s book on the tarot.

4.5 stars Expect the unexpected is what I have learnt from the bruja Maria DeBlassie. This interesting and insightful book gives a unique perspective on the arcana of the Tarot cards. Conversations with the Tarot is an inspiring tool to teach readers how to read tarot cards told in a lyrical prose. Maria shares their meaning and her thoughts and musings that underlies the Tarot. She shares her meditations, her spiritual journey and transformation of oneself in a holistic way. It is her hope that it will give each reader to open up thought, to inspire, to open oneself to magic, to new beginnings and possibilities and so, so much more. Maria sharing her wisdom and knowledge has made me pull my cards from their purple silken wraps and see them with fresh eyes and get back to my witchy roots. Well done, Maria.

This book is an interesting look at how to read tarot cards. Told from a unique perspective, the author introduces you to the art of reading the cards through beautiful prose. She also gives you an insight into how the cards have guided and shaped her own life, offering a real view as to what they can do. Tarot cards isn’t something I can honestly say I have ever been interested in. Yet reading this book has certainly piqued my interest. This was a refreshing view into something I don’t know very much about and the author has done a great job of engaging with me as the reader. This is definitely a book worth reading.

Conversations with Tarot is so much more than your basic how-to book on learning to read Tarot cards. In this book the author not only shows the reader how to read the cards but also discusses how she reads the cards every day and how they help to guide her. It is part magic and part divine inspiration that help to guide her. I loved how the author explains that a deck of Tarot cards may speak to you, in a sense and that the deck meant for you will come to you when the time is right. I have had my Tarot cards read to me in the past and have always been a bit intrigued by them. However, I was uncertain what each card meant or how one even begins to read the card that is drawn. This book enlightened me, and I learned that there are different types of decks of Tarot cards. Through this book I learned what each card means when that card is drawn and the symbolism behind the card. I also learned that the process of reading Tarot cards involves the formation of a special relationship or bond with your deck of cards. That it is more in-depth than just flipping the card over and describing what the symbol on the card means. I found this book very interesting and loved how the author uses a combination of stories, messages, and musings to explain the Tarot cards and how they can help guide you. This is a book that I will be reading repeatedly and intend to keep as a handy reference. I highly recommend this book!

Bewitching tarot meditations by bruja and award-winning writer Maria DeBlassie.
One part prose poetry, one part witchy insights, and one part study in learning the tarot, this book explores this mundane divination form for beginners and experts alike.
This cartomancy book was birthed from DeBlassie’s creative tarot studies in which she wrote 78-word prose poems for each of the 78 cards in the deck, using synchronicity, everyday magic, and her budding understanding of tarot symbolism and meanings to craft her tales.
It’s not your basic how-to-read tarot book, but more a how-to begin a conversation with this divination tool. As any tarot reader can tell you, dealing the deck is more than interpreting cards. It’s about building a relationship with this mystic tool and learning how you and the tarot can work together to discover numinous revelations.
This book is a series of proverbial spells. A series of stories. A series of synchronous messages and mystic musings. A journey into learning the tarot. Are you ready to start your adventure?

This is a great non-fiction autobiography. The experiences shared by the author are hearfelt and honest. The choices we make in life often have great consequences that we don’t think about, but also that we can learn from. Toby shows both sides of this statement in her book. How do you go on to live after making a mistake that has long term devestating consequences to reexamine and transform from that expereince?

Toby Dorr is an amazing author to come forward with her side of the story. It must be hard for years to hold in all this and make a story of it. I give you 5 stars for that because it might not be easy. This story made me feel like loved it and did not agree with it. Love will always conquer any struggles in life and love will do crazy things but to free a person who needs to reflect in life, I have to put that down. This story did touch my heart because all she wanted to do is to be with her love and he did too.

This is the first non-fiction book I’ve read in quite a while, and I am absolutely blown away! The sheer amount of emotion that this memoir evoked in me is astounding. Toby tells her story sparing no detail and puts you in her shoes. I couldn’t read fast enough as she really has a great way of writing that just pulls you in and won’t let go. I truly appreciate Toby being so incredibly courageous, vulnerable, and forthcoming with this experience. It’s eye-opening in the most unexpected of ways. I highly recommend giving this book a chance even if it isn’t in your normal wheelhouse, it will likely knock you right off your feet.

4 out of 5 Stars
Every story has multiple sides. This is a story that has been told many times but this time is straight from the source. I was surprised many times while reading this book. This was an interesting read that gives you an understanding of how life can change due to a mistake. If you are into this type of stories you should give it a try.

Toby’s story is one that was so interesting because she was literally the girl next door. She was so far from the person you would think would do the things she did. I was so into this book I couldn’t put it down. True Crime has always been a fascination of mine, and this story was such a great one. Toby really get into details, not just about the crime, but about life as a convicted felon. Her insight and honesty is raw and beautiful. She truly lets you know what it was like to be on the inside, looking out. Thank you, Toby, for sharing your story with us.
