It’s December … the start of the Holiday Gift-Giving Season!
If you have a Tarot enthusiast in your life, or are looking for a gift to give yourself (I’m sure you deserve it) … here’s a list of rather random gift ideas a Tarot reader might like. Or at least I like them all.
And just to be clear, I don’t have any affiliation with any of the outlets linked so I can’t guarantee anything. This is just a list of ideas ….
- Tarot Pillows or Rugs … a pillow you can sit on … or just throw onto the couch. And if you’d like a rug … there are biggish ones and small. Or maybe you’d like to create your own design and put it on a pillow or a rug.
- Tarot Homeware like Clocks, Candles, Card Stands, Coasters, Dishes, Lampshades and Neon Signs … or maybe you’d like a Towel or a Tote?
- Tarot clothes .. there’s so many options … Tees, Shoes, Scarves, Hats, and Socks too.
- Tarot Jewlery … I love the Charm Bracelets … but there are so many options … Rings and Pendants, Earrings, and Pins.
- Tarot Stationary type stuff … like Magnets, Stamps, Stickers, Pouches, iPhone cases, and Air Fresheners.
- Tarot Cookie Cutters (and Alchemical ones too) and Chocolate Molds (Soap Molds too), and an especially fun Ouija Board Lunch Bag!
- And of course Tarot decks … but that’s so obvious, I almost didn’t write it. I did, however, come across these shiny foil Rider-Waite-Smith cards while I was searching around. I’ve never seen them before … and there’s a Pink Vintage Glamour RWS deck? Oh my, I think I want these …
Looking for a perfect gift for your Tarot-loving loved ones? Here’s ten books that’ll make them smile.
The first six teach Tarot and they’re all excellent …
•Tarot for Beginners: A Practical Guide to Reading the Cards by Barbara Moore – a general book for Tarot beginners, though advanced readers might like it too (I do!)
Tarot for Life
•Tarot for Life: Reading the Cards for Everyday Guidance and Growth by Paul Quinn – an excellent general Tarot guide for beginners and advanced readers
•Tarot Wisdom: Spiritual Teachings and Deeper Meanings by Rachel Pollack – another great Tarot overview for beginners and advanced readers
•21 Ways To Read A Tarot Card by Mary K. Greer – amazing Tarot exercises for all levels
The Way of Tarot
•The Way of Tarot: The Spiritual Teacher in the Cards by Alejandro Jodorowsky – examines the Marseille deck in particular, but anyone seriously interested in Tarot should read this book
•Understanding Aleister Crowley’s Thoth Tarot by Lon Milo Duquette – focuses on the Thoth Tarot, a must for anyone using that deck
The next four are not specifically about Tarot, but Tarot fans might like them as much as I do …
•Women of the Golden Dawn: Rebels and Priestesses: Maud Gonne, Moina Bergson Mathers, Annie Horniman, Florence Farr by Mark K. Greer – about four fabulous women, all important members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn
Cosmos and Psyche
•Cosmos and Psyche: Intimations of a New World View by Richard Tarnas – philosophy and astrology, this fascinating book examines planetary alignments and the patterns of human history
•The ESP Enigma: The Scientific Case for Psychic Phenomena by Diane Hennacy Powell, MD – takes a very interesting scientific look at psychic research
•Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke – an incredibly fun novel about the real world of magic in 19th Century England
This is by no means an exhaustive list. I just tried to keep it down to ten. And they’re all books I’ve read (or re-read) over this last year. It’s fresh in my mind how much I like them.
