About the author
Ari Freeman is a writer, fortune teller, public wizard and autodidact. He has over twenty years of experience as a performing professional musician, and spent seven years as the apprentice to the Wizard of New Zealand, which involved discussing philosophy, politics and magic out on the streets with an enthusiastic general public. ?Freeman writes about magic and how it can be found in art, science, religion, modern society, as well as the occult and indigenous cultures. His goal is to bridge the gap between magical practitioners and skeptics, towards a world where we can all talk to each other. Ari lives in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Tarot for Sceptics
Ari Freeman
A compelling method of divination, guaranteed to teach sceptics, materialists and atheists to get ’spooky results’ within their first hour with the Tarot.
This book will take you from Tarot beginner to a professional level of reading, without asking you to relinquish your scepticism or requiring you to adopt a magical belief system. It gets deep into the psychology and nature of symbolism, storytelling, counselling, our intuition and what is and isn’t going on with psychic phenomena.
By the end of the book, you will not only be a Tarot expert, but also have a deep understanding of what divination can and can’t do. Tarot for Sceptics contains a complete comparison between Rider Waite Smith, Crowley’s Thoth and the Marseilles decks; in depth descriptions of every card; a complete history of Tarot and its relationship with playing cards and magic; example readings with each deck in a selection of spreads, and much more!
