Tarot Deck & Book Shop



The Tarot is like an encyclopedia of the life’s experience and personal growth.

Rather than being a book of words, the tarot utilizes the power of images to convey it’s meaning through symbolism, myth and metaphor.

The imagery of the tarot provides universal insights into the experience of life and spirituality.

Various decks are designed with common themes but each are illustrated with their unique style of artwork dependent on cultural perspectives. Whichever tarot deck you choose from this selection, you will find that the artwork is rich in detail and symbolism that speaks to the soul. By paying attention to the meaning of the imagery, and how the cards relate to one another, you will likely come away with a deeper understanding of yourself and the story of humanity that plays itself out in each of our lives.

The Tarot is a popular tool for self awareness because each of us can relate to what the cards present to us. Each unique deck will reveal new meaning the more you study and use the cards. Working with the tarot always reveals new insights, like taking a course in psychology and spirituality that we all can relate to and understand. You can also custom order decks that may not be available on our site at this time. Simply contact us to get a quote on a custom ordered deck.

The Complete Book of Incense, Oils & Brews
by Scott Cunningham

A magical cookbook. Like any cookbook, it teaches, allows plenty of latitude for experimentation and personalization, and gives a large number and wide variety of recipes. The are not the same old tired recipes printed time and again in a host of magical formularies.

Included in the book is a very well written chapter on the basics of magic and, to my mind, an extremely valuable chapter on all aspects of substitution… “What can I use if I can’t find Juniper (for example)?” ~ Raymond Buckland

When it comes to using what Mother Nature has provided, magical practitioners can never learn enough. From Mother Earth’s vast garden there is an herb or flower or combination of herbs which appeals to our sense of smell, stimulating the emotions and mind of the magician. The sweet aroma of smoldering incense, the alluring scent of the oils aid the individual in working the needed magic. Scott Cunningham has come through in providing enough variations of incenses and oils that there is definitely something for everyone. ~ Ray T. Malbrough

Scott Cunningham’s book is well researched, interesting, and present a natural, Earth-oriented approach to magic that should make readers more aware of their connection to the Earth Mother and all of her children.

by Aleister Crowley

The Tarot is a pictorial representation of the Forces of Nature as conceived by the Ancients according to a conventional symbolism. At first sight on would suppose this arrangement to be arbitrary, but it is not. It is necessitataed by the structure of the universe, and in particular f the Solar System, as symbolized by the Holy Qabalah. – Aleister Crowley

It is also one of the most original interpretations of the tarot, incorporating astrological, numberological, and Qabalistic symbolism. While there are many other useful guides to this famous tarot deck, there are no other which explain the deck in its creator’s own words. The Book of Thoth has been used for many years by students of teh occult for study of the tarot and as a key to all Western mystery traditions. As such, this book is on the short list of must-have textbooks for modern students of the tarot and esoteric studies.

The Qabalistic Tarot: A Textbook of Mystical Philosophy
by Robert Wang

Hailed by reviewers as “a masterpiece,” and as “the single most profound reference of its kind,” The Qabalistic Tarot has become the standard in its field, a book essential to all students of Tarot symbolism. It is both a textbook and a sourcebook for the symbols of the Western Hermetic Qabalah, a corpus of mystical ideas which have, for centuries, exerted a powerful influence on the development of Western thought. Dr. Wang explains the tarot as an externalization of a mystical system which has evolved from approximately the third century C.E. to our own time. He traces the development of Qabalistic ideas from the Neoplatonic through the Medieval, Renaissance, and Modern periods, systematically discussing each Sephira and Path on the Tree of Life. He uses the Tarot images as a point of visual reference, and provides a thorough explanation of the symbolic intricacies of the Paths. The Qabalistic Tarot is recommended as a comprehensive textbook for individual study or for the classroom. The first and only work based on the four major decks in use today, it is the ideal companion book for the Golden Dawn Tarot, the Thoth Tarot, the Rider-Waite Tarot, or the traditional Marseilles deck.

The Initiatic Path in the Arcana of Tarot and Kabbalah
by Samael Aun Weor

In this cornerstone work, Samael Aun Weor explains in clear terms the entire basis of all esoteric work: Kabbalistic symbology. This is the language of the Internal Worlds.

In these studies of Kabbalah, we need to be practical; there are authors who write marvels, but when one looks at them, one realizes that they have not lived what they have written, they did not experience it in themselves, and that is why they are mistaken. I understand that one must write what one has directly experienced by oneself. I have proceeded in this way on my part. ~ Samael Aun Weor

This book is no mere repetition of what others have written; it is the direct experience of the author. This revolutionary work examines the TArot and Kabbalah as never before, with brilliant revelations about the mysterious sphere of Daath, whose true nature was never before discussed publically.

In Five Parts:

  1. 1. Descriptions and Study of the Esoteric Tarot
  2. 2. Initiation through the Arcana of the Tarot
  3. 3. The Kabbalah
  4. 4. Numerology and Esoteric Mathematics
  5. 5. Predictive Kabbalah
The objective of studying the Kabbalah is to be skilled for work in the Internal Worlds…

One who does not comprehend remains confused in the Internal Worlds. Kabbalah is the basis in order to understand the language of these worlds. ~ Samael Aun Weor 250 pages, oversized book.

The Key to Solomon’s Key: Secrets of Magic and Masonry
by Lon Milo Duquette

Sketching out a fascinating network of historic figures, cults, and Christendom, this book by an occult studies expert and respected authority on magic and sorcery takes western spiritual traditions seriously—but examines them with common sense and self-effacing humor. Working backward from the Freemasons to one of their original orders, the 14th-century Knights Templar, the account considers sorcery, heresy, and intrigues; explores the legend that the Knights possessed a powerful secret dangerous to the Church of Rome; and finds an essential clue to the order’s practices in their connection to the biblical Solomon, king of Israel in the 10th century B. C.

A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose
by Eckhart Tolle

Building on the astonishing success of The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle presents readers with an honest look at the current state of humanity: He implores us to see and accept that this state, which is based on an erroneous identification with the egoic mind, is one of dangerous insanity.

Tolle tells us there is good news, however. There is an alternative to this potentially dire situation. Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one.

In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are–which is something infinitely greater than anything we currently think we are–and learn to live and breathe freely.

The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom
by Don Miguel Ruiz

In The Four Agreements, don Miguel Ruiz reveals the source of self-limiting beliefs that rob us of joy and create needless suffering. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, the Four Agreements offer a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform our lives to a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love.

Don Miguel Ruiz was born into a family of healers, and raised in rural Mexico by a curandera (healer) mother and a nagual (shaman) grandfather. The family anticipated that Miguel would embrace their centuries-old legacy of healing and teaching, and carry forward the esoteric Toltec knowledge. Instead, distracted by modern life, Miguel chose to attend medical school and become a surgeon. A near-death experience changed his life. Late one night in the early 1970s, he awoke suddenly, having fallen asleep at the wheel of his car. At that instant the car careened into a wall of concrete. Don Miguel remembers that he was not in his physical body as he pulled his two friends to safety.

Stunned by this experience, he began an intensive practice of self-inquiry. He devoted himself to the mastery of the ancient ancestral wisdom, studying earnestly with his mother, and completing an apprenticeship with a powerful shaman in the Mexican desert. His grandfather, who had since passed on, continued to teach him in his dreams.

In the tradition of the Toltec, a nagual guides an individual to personal freedom. Don Miguel Ruiz, a nagual from the Eagle Knight lineage, is dedicated to sharing his knowledge of the teachings of the ancient Toltec. For more than a decade, he has worked to impart this wisdom to his students through lectures, workshops, and journeys to sacred sites around the world.
