I have heard and Saw books about tarot Spells..I was wondering if they really do work....Has anybody ever tried a spell and done it? Has it ever worked? Im very very curious about this..If they do work I will probably end up buying a book about them :)

Spellwork is really all in your head, things like tarot cards and candles and herbs and stones and eyes of newts don't really do anything but aid your mental concentration towards a goal. If you have a love for Tarot and a connection to the cards as I do, then sure! I would say you could look into using them for spells, since they speak emotionally/mentally to you. I have 2 books you might be interested in: Tarot Magic by Dorothy Morrison, and another called A Magical Course in Tarot, but I can't remember who wrote that one.

My husband just started doing it and he's a natural. If you think you want to try it, by all means look into it. Joy to you, Maralee

I always do a tarot reading at the end of every ritual that I do as part of the ritual to see how the ritual will work...all because Im an impatient leo and I need to know RIGHT NOW if the spell will work or not...lol

Hi, oh yes, I feel it is very important to know what effect a spell will have before casting. The tarot is a great tool to help determine possible outcomes. :-) Joy to you, Maralee

I believe the card or cards are used as a focus for the desired result. It does work, and all the magic happens inside you to make it so. They're a tool to get your mind pointed in the right direction.

A Magical Course in Tarot is by Michele Morgan--very excellent book about freeing yourself from book meanings and learning to trust your intuition.

For general Tarot Spells there is a book out there called Tarot Spells by J Renee? maybe?? Not sure of the author.

HudsonGray	29 Feb 2004
A lot of it is done in the form of affirmations. You pick the card that most represents what you want or need, or the change you wish to do in yourself. By looking at it each day, it's almost like a meditation/affirmation. VERY similar to that bikini picture posted on the door of the fridge, in some ways. Of course if you're working within the Craft (pagan) you focus on it a bit differently, but the bottom line is very similar.

Hello I would like to made simple question. How do you know the spell works ? I mean how do you establish a cause consequense effect ? bye paulo

HudsonGray	01 Mar 2004
You keep the doubt out & 'know' it works. Then you wait to see what happens. What you ask for may not be what you thought you'd get, but it does come through one way or another. Results do happen because you initiate a sequence of actions just by doing it. When you doubt, you stifle the series of actions & can cause it to stop. So keep the doubt out & just accept that 'something' is happening & it should, within a few days to within two weeks. Any longer than that & you'll need to look back & re-evaluate whether you missed the signs that it manifested maybe in a different manner than what you were looking for. If that happened, try again, but be clearer.

Yes is a nice answer. I never used tarot spells but I have done a ritual by this book: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0875420486/qid=1078219602/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-5457357-9647236?v=glance&s=books Itīs a good book and practical also. Somme times I think I get results, and somme I donīt. I donīt know. I would like to try more books of this kind, I know that there are lots of them but I look for a good one that give good results. Anny advice ? Bye Paulo

punchinella	03 Mar 2004
Paulo I don't have any advice to give you on spellbooks, because I've never used any. To my way of thinking, the most powerful spell is my own spell . . . I do what feels most deeply right, with serious intent & an open heart :) Whether or not it's a 'spell' depends I suppose on how one defines the word.

It is probably very wrong... LOL... but I will publicise the fact that I have the book Tarot Spells by Janina Renee for trading in the trading forum at the moment, if anyone is interested! C

celeste	10 Mar 2004
Thats a good book-and it works! Just be careful what you ask for because sometimes the results are unexpected but looking back were clearly what you intentioned for. The cards give you specific results: ie Don't cast a spell for a new love to enter your life using the Knight of Cups when what you were really looking for was a more mature man-like any of the Kings,because you'll get specifically what you asked for even though you may have meant something else at the time.
