In her latest book, Tarot as Storyteller: Psychic Development, Cartomancy, and Reading the Web of Fate, Salicrow shows beginner and seasoned practitioners alike how to read divination cards with greater accuracy and more profound insight. She shares practices to help you develop psychic ability, including empathic protection, body dowsing, utilizing sacred space and divine timing, and how to build one’s personal symbolic language. She offers techniques for developing intuition and analytical questioning, encouraging the reader to take on the role of storyteller by looking deeply into the symbols and tales that each card holds.

Expanding our concept of each card’s symbolism, Salicrow explores the meanings of tarot and oracle cards through activated prayer, spell work, and guided journeys that introduce the Major Arcana as personal experiences. She also shows how to pick a deck, cleanse and bless the cards, and properly store them, and she gives many spreads that look at relationships, career guidance, and healing.

Through her insightful teachings, Salicrow demonstrates that card reading enhances the connection between intuition and imagination. With each reading, one’s storytelling ability grows, providing clearer pictures of the players, situations, details, and an inner knowing for how to ask better questions.
