According to Chic & Sandra Tabatha Cicero, the tarot is much more than a collection of symbolic images―it's a vibrant ecosystem of interconnected energies and entities. In this groundbreaking approach to tarot, they introduce how these powerful cards can be magically transformed into talismans and amulets.
Part one of this book explores the nature of talismans and amulets, how magic works, the role of the divine in magic, and magical ethics. The specific energies and talismanic/amuletic uses of each card are described, along with its magical correspondences―spanning elemental, astrological, and Qabalistic qualities. Part two is devoted to "tarot angels" and invoking these divine energies, including how to use the Golden Dawn method, known as telesmatic magic. Ritual card spreads, consecration rites, and step-by-step examples demonstrate how to use magical talismans to get a promotion, gain psychic talent, promote healing, mend a broken friendship, enhance magic skills, and more.
Tarot Talismans: Invoke the Angels of Tarot - By Chic & Sandra Tabatha Cicero
Sandra "Tabatha" Cicero was born in rural Wisconsin. Her areas of interest include drawing, painting, poetry, theater, dance, and printmaking. A lifelong fascination with the creative arts has served to inspire her work in the magical world. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts in 1982, Tabatha worked as an entertainer, typesetter, editor, commercial artist, and computer graphics illustrator. Tabatha is a member of several Co-Masonic, Martinist, and Rosicrucian organizations.
She met her husband and co-author Charles "Chic" Cicero in the early 1980's and the Golden Dawn system of magic has been her primary spiritual focus ever since. Tabatha spent five years working on the paintings for "The Golden Dawn Magical Tarot" which she began at the encouragement of Israel Regardie.
Both Chic and Tabatha are Chief Adepts of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn as re-established by Israel Regardie. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, of which Tabatha is the current G.H. Cancellaria, is an international Order with Temples in several countries. Tabatha is also the current Supreme Magus (Imperatrix) of the Societas Rosicruciana in America.
Chic and Tabatha have written numerous books on the Golden Dawn, Tarot, and Magic.
