What can reliably guide us in times of rapid change? Focusing on the daily Tarot card, Rachel Pallack and Johannes Fiebig offer simple magical practices and interpretations for each of the 78 Tarot cards, which can easily be put into practice. In addition, they discuss perspectives reaching until 2024, which is as long as the current crucial period of transformation with "Pluto in Capricorn" will last. It has become common practice, since the time of the renowned Order of the Golden Dawn, to assign Tarot cards to individual sections of the yearly cycle. These periods are known as decans. This quality of time, which the Tarot cards also express (although largely unknown), is skillfully used by the authors. Pollack and Fiebig are both experienced Tarot experts with book sales of over a million copies each. They combine forces in this international project. Tarot for Magical Times is being published simultaneously in English and in German editors on several continents. Excellent and reliable interpretations from two of the world's best-known Tarot masters. Book jacket. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The book is about reading tarot during times when society is in upheaval: potentially "magical times," yes, but not the magic of sparkly wands and shimmering stars. Pollack and Fiebig each wrote an introductory essay, and there's a third one from Ott, an astrologer. Then Pollack and Fiebig separately worked their way through the cards, discussing them in the context of the "magical times." I'd give Pollack's writing 4 stars if it were the entirety of the book. I thought her contributions were clear and easy to understand. She wrote about each card both at a personal level, as we're used to seeing them in readings, and as indicators of how a community reacts to major change. Fiebig organized the cards by the signs of the zodiac and the decans they coordinate with. I found this part much harder to understand, though. I suspect that part of it is that Fiebig sees the cards in a different way than I do. But a lot of my difficulty with his sections were due to language and editing problems. I'm not sure whether his writing was poorly translated or poorly edited, but there were sentences that simply did not work and I was left wondering what he'd really meant. Anyway, I'd give this part 2 stars, and that's how the book averages out to 3 stars for me. ( )
