Witches Tarot Kit
This package presents the mystical Qabalistic symbolism from
a Pagan perspective. The book defines the workings of the Qabala and
contains a section on divination, with several layout patterns.
Each of the
Magical Spheres is included on the corresponding cards.
The
striking images of these Witches Tarot kit cards incorporate symbols from
the Qabalistic Tree of Life, but the deck as a whole is decidedly Pagan
in nature. Some changes from traditional Tarot symbolism include "The
Horned One" instead of "The Devil;" "The High Priest" instead of "The
Hierophant;" and "The Seeker" in place of "The Hermit."

Customer Reviews
Very informative and well
written
My fiancé bought The Witches' Qabalah for himself and bought me the
Witches' Tarot kit. I adore the deck, but I didn't know about the book
to it until recently when I found it on your site. He bought it for me
as a present and I truly enjoyed it. Not only did it help with my
understanding of Qabalah, but it also assisted in my understanding of
the symbolism of the deck itself. A wonderful book that would fit in
any Witch or Coven's collection, I must commend Ms. Reed and thank her
for a lovely book and the Witches tarot kit. Blessed BeDyana
Understandable yet tacky...
I've dealt with the Merlin deck before, and the pictures were
beautiful. However, the pictures in the Witches Tarot kit seem phoney and
rushed, with no real creative insight. The book, however, makes the
deck feasible, as well as the aces. If the artist had reached a
midpoint between the aces and the rest of the deck, the pictures would
be beautiful. The book is wonderfully informative in not only the
Tarot, but as well as meditation and divination in other forms.
Cannon-Reed knows her deck
well.
Ellen Cannon-Reed should, and does, know her deck, "The Witches Tarot
kit"
better than anyone, since she devised it. In her book of the same
title, she does and admirable job of explaining from where her thoughts
and inspirations of this deck stem. I would call this book a must own
companion to her deck for many reasons, all rather obvious.
My only disappointment, and a small one at that, is
the authors assumption that the reader has also read her title "The
Goddess and the Tree", explaining her interpretation of the connection
of modern Wicca and the Qabalistic tree. However, after reading through
a short way, the basic ideas of the Qabal do come through to enough of
a degree for the reader to begin understanding. Over all, I have to say I was impressed with the
information provided, the explanations given, and the over all way the
book was focused at the meanings Mrs. Connon-Reed intended for her
deck. A very well conceived and written view of her creation.
