Introduction
Occultism and magick is rife with symbols. In fact, the very basis of magick and occult is
symbology. Everything is symbolic of some higher truth. From the rituals we preform to the
books we read. We are immersed in the power and magick of symbols. Although I am of the
school of thought that symbols are not 100% necessary so long as you have a strong inner
intention and can control your mind during a ritual, I use them nonetheless. In my rituals, if
you have read my other books are paired-down. They have symbols but do not overrun you
with complicated devices. However, there are moments in the occultists and magicians life
that require us to pay attention to symbols. Often these symbols can give you insight into your
life. The tarot cards are one aspect of occultism that I feel is worth paying close attention to.
The symbols that is.
Tarot cards have been used for centuries, some say even thousands of years to either
foretell the future or to give the person who is having the reading a sense of direction towards
life in general or for a very specific issue they are having. I have had my tarot cards read
several times and I always found them insightful. Yes, it is helpful if the person who is reading
the tarot cards for you is knowledgeable, but often the symbols themselves, if you pay close
attention can give you some guidance. Since you do not have control over the cards you draw;
the shuffling and choosing of cards becomes an unconscious act. Something, a spirit perhaps
or just your subconscious mind is guiding your hands to pick the cards that you pick. Some
would say even fate herself.
In this book, we will not be focusing on tarot cards as a source of knowledge about the
future, there are plenty of good books about that. We will be dealing with the tarot cards in a
different way, we will be using them as a driving force for magickal practice. It is a fair
assessment to say that Tarot card symbology is quite powerful and aside from divination it can
be driving engine for magick. I know personally, I used it. I used to get someone back into my
life. It worked so well that I needed to have the ritual reversed by a powerful Shaman. So
please take heed, tarot cards are a very powerful magnet. Their symbols have a spiritual force.
In the next chapter, we will discuss, ever so briefly, the reason why symbols are so powerful
and how why they are much more than just contrived ideas of the mind, then we will discuss
the tarot in general and then to the rituals. Let us being.
We often look at cultures outside of our spheres to be somewhat alien. You must
admit, when you step off a plane into a foreign country that has almost nothing in common
with where you come from, it causes your mind to go into an instant of “Wow, this is weird”.
It’s not because we are ignorant or that we lack the open minded to embrace other cultures, it
is just that we are so different that it often strikes us odd when we see something so different
from our own. It’s almost automatic, it’s unconscious. And it’s natural. BUT, if you look closer,
under all the customs and mores, you find elements within world cultures and religious
systems that are strikingly the same. If you look back into religious history you will find the
cross very prominent. At the dawn of humanity, way before Christianity, the cross had a
significance not unlike the Christian conception. It was considered a symbol of the sun, (no
coincidence that Jesus is often equated with the Sun God?). In Ancient Egypt, the cross is a
symbol of life in the form of the “Ankh”. The Christian cross, although the object on which
Jesus died, represents LIFE. It’s through Jesus suffering and death on the cross that we are
saved, that is according to the Christian understanding. That is of course, one of many symbols
I can choose from. Aside from those basic symbols like the cross, the circle and the triangle
which all cultures share. There is a deeper level of symbology that involves certain essences of
an individual. Such as the warrior, the magician, the Goddess, the fool. As well as certain
motifs such as the dying and resurrecting God, Osiris, Shamash, Jesus, Mithra to name just a
very few. There seems to be some commonality despite the apparently disparate nature of
world culture.
If you look at the stories of mythology and even modern day religious texts, you will
find, motifs such as the warrior, the virgin, Immaculate Conception, star crossed lovers, the
witch, the warlock, the judge. The stories have the same motifs, they are just garbed in
different clothing. There is clearly a universal connection here. Those symbols mean
something, if they didn’t, they would not be following us back to the dawn of humanity. Even
many of our creation narratives start in very much the same way and have very similar motifs.
We will not go into those here, but if you would like a good book on parallel creation myths
please read “ Parallel Myths by J.F. Bierlein”, Its very interesting.
Much of why we share so much of our narratives may remain a mystery, but Carl Jung,
a Swedish psychologist came up with by far, the most persuasive answer, at least as far as I am
concerned. He came up with the idea of the “collective unconscious” and the concept of the
“archetypes”.
They are in many ways the structure of the collective unconscious (which I will get into
shortly). They are innate tendencies that reflect our common humanity. Motifs like I
mentioned above are all common themes. These commonalities flow through all our spiritual
traditions. They often manifest in something called “Archetypal images” within religious texts,
dreams and spiritual visions. Essentially many of the characters in mythology and their stories
are archetypal in nature. This also applies to all the biblical motifs and individuals as well.
Whether the people in the bible existed or not is not the purpose of this book, but no matter
what their historical status maybe, they represent archetypical behaviors and demeanors. The
hero and the villain are perfect examples of the archetypal form. It might sound odd that I
would be writing this in a book on Tarot magick, but the tarot is pretty much a deck of cards
with all the archetypical symbols on them. So I feel that it is always good to know some
background as to why the tarot are so powerful. However, before we go into the actual tarot
themselves, let me quickly give you an overview of the collective unconscious. All this will give
you a better perspective as to why the Tarot is what it is and why it is so powerful.
Jung said it best ” the collective unconscious - so far as we can say anything about it at
all - appears to consist of mythological motifs or primordial images, for which reason the
myths of all nations are its real exponents. In fact, the whole of mythology could be taken as a
sort of projection of the collective unconscious... We can therefore study the collective
unconscious in two ways, either in mythology or in the analysis of the individual. (From The
Structure of the Psyche, CW 8, par. 325.).”
It is with that that we will proceed to the Tarot, a deck of cards infused with
mythological motifs and primordial images.
(What follows is a very cursory history, we will be more concerned about their
magickal qualities.)
If you have read anything about the tarot you will have probably read it might be
traced back to the ancient Egyptians or to hermetic traditions. This may or may not be true; I
wouldn’t be surprised if it is.
The only problem is, is that we do not have proof of this. We do, however, have more
proof that the tarot cards came from more modern times. This does not detract from their
powers since they are still in possession of primordial and archetypal imagery. The tarot decks
as we know them today were first seen in Italy around the 1400s. It was not clear if they were
used initially for gambling or just as a card game of sorts. However, it was soon made into an
oracle and came to be classified into the occult science of cartomancy. Cartomancy is the use
of cards for fortune telling purposes. There are various methods of cartomancy. You can even
use a normal deck of card, the kind you play poker with. However, the tarot is a bit different.
Tarot became so popular it was soon condemned as an instrument of the devil. This was made
possible because the bible specifically forbids any form of fortunetelling.
A tarot deck is comprised of two suits of cards; the Major Arcana and Minor arcana.
This classification was coined by the writer Ellic Howe. We will be mostly focused on the Major
Arcana in this book.
The Major Arcana: Is a suit of 22 cards. These 22 cards represent deep archetypes of
the collective unconscious as I stated earlier. In fact, a Jungian analyst by the name of Salie
Nichols wrote about them and stated that they contain deep archetypical and psychological
significance to the individual. He went so far as to say that the cards themselves are the key to
a person’s full potential or as he put it “ The Entire individuation process”… In essence, a key to
the total transformation of the psyche.

The Minor Arcana: Since we will not be dealing much with the minor arcana, I won’t
go into great depth about them. However, I feel it is good to know at least some cursory
knowledge about them. These are the second suite of cards in a typical tarot deck. There are
56 in number and are divided into 4 sub suits. Cups, swords, coins and wands. Not unlike the
spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs found in conventional playing decks. They are meant to be
lesser cards. As opposed to the major arcana, the minor arcana are thought to represent the
more mundane aspects of life. Such as:
Swords: General reason
Now I would like to make clear when I say more mundane aspects I am not saying
unimportant. What I am saying is that the major arcana represent more spiritual and lofty
aspects of the human condition, whereas the minor arcana do not. Although we will not be
using the minor arcana, there is nothing stopping you from using them in your magick as well.
All you will need to ascertain their respective meanings is a good book that defines each one. I
highly recommend “The Easiest Way to Learn the Tarot – Ever!! – By Dusty White” for this
purpose. In the next chapter, we will go into a bit more depth regarding the major arcana
since we will be using them for our rituals.
We will now discuss the major arcana and the meaning and powers behind them, as
well as their ritual purpose.

etc. Let us know discuss what you will need to make these rituals work better for you. After
that, we will jump into the rituals themselves.
1. Tarot cards: I have several Tarot card decks, many I have because of their beautiful
artwork. Here are a few that I recommend.The Original Rider Waite Tarot PackThe Hermetic
TarotThe Witches Tarot
2 Incense: Frankincense and Myrrh incense. This is a beautifully sacred fragrance and I use it
in almost all my rituals, across all forms of magick that I practice. 3. Candles: Like in most
rituals, there are candles involved. Here are a few you will need. I used to get them
individually but I found an amazing source that sells 10 candle colors, 4 of each for a total of 40
candles for an excellent price. I just discovered them and will use them from now on. The
colors are red, pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, white and violet. “Spell Candles
( 40 candles)” I will indicate the colors below and their meanings.Red: This candle is for love
and personal power.Pink: Faith, devotion and tenderness.Orange: For energy, success,
cleanses negativity, creates motivation.Yellow: Confidence, power, knowledge and
healing.Green: Nature and connection to nature. Attracts bodily healing and promotes growth
in all ways.Blue: Spirituality, Harmony at oneness and divinity.Purple: Success, the attainment
of all desires. Psychic powers and the acquisition of mystery knowledge. Black: Change,
protection, black magick, to banish negativity of all sorts be it mental or spiritual in
nature.White: Purity, higher consciousness, peace, truth and unity.Violet: High levels of
spiritual attainment and power. Will help increase magickal ability. That is all you will
need. You will see that these rituals are so easy you will think they are too good to be true.
Magick does not have to be difficult for it to work. I think its time to change that old paradigm
once and for all. In the next chapter we will go through the 22 rituals. Won’t you join me?
22 Tarot Rituals
To perform a simple Tarot Card ritual is very easy. I will go through the steps below. Please
note, you may perform these rituals at any time. In this case, you do not need to wait for
specific days to arrive. The Tarot cards themselves have a self-possessed power and do not rely
on astrological forces, although taking them into account will not impede your outcome. .1.
Place the main tarot card at the center. For example, if we are using the fool card as the main
driver for the ritual you would put it in the center of your altar.2. Pick up the main card and
think about the intention you have for this ritual.3. Say the prayer to the spiritual guardians
of the tarot. You may use your wording, this is just an example that I use.4. Place the main
card back in its place.5. From the same deck, randomly pull out 5 cards. Place those cards in
such a way that they encircle the main card. As seen below. 6. Place the candle right before
the 1st card. As seen below. You can light and place the incense wherever you like. The incense
is more for the ambience.7. Visualize a white light coming and encircling the main card.8.
Sit in silence and think about your intended outcome.9. Take out a tarot card book and
read the descriptions of the 5 cards that are encircling the main card. Does it give you any
insight into your issue?10. Thank the spiritual guardians of the tarot and release them.11.
For the next 10 days, carry the main card with you wherever you go. Place it under your pillow
at night. Every time you touch it, think of your intention.
That concludes the ritual. I will be sure to itemize these instructions for each of the 22
rituals below. This way you will have it readily available. The steps will be tailored to the ritual.
You see? Not very difficult is it? Do not believe those who would have you do elaborate rituals
that require you to do things that are burdensome. Magick is natural and should come as
naturally to you as drinking water. Elaborate rituals only serve the egoic tendency for structure
and do nothing to contribute to the actual magick itself. In fact, in a future volume I will
discuss why magick works at all. Stay tuned…With that said, let us proceed to the rituals.

Conclusion
This concludes Tarot Magick. As you have seen, it is quite simple. You can do these
rituals as often as you like. You can also do multiple rituals for the same issue and see what
information you can glean. As you see, there is no pomp and circumstance, no expensive ritual
garments and paraphernalia, no odd and impossible herbs to obtain, no directions to turn to,
no contrived and pompous terminology and phrases to this kind of magick. Just magick ,
unconventional magick at that. I am filled with utmost confidence that once you have
performed one or all these rituals, you will enter a magickal partnership with the Tarot like you
never have before. You will find yourself using them over and over again. Although we used
only the Major Arcana, feel free to use the lesser cards as well. May all your Magick be fruitful
and effective.
And So It Is.
