Everyone knows tarot can be used as a divination tool. Tarot Priestess wake us through using tarot for all much more! The read can become devotional tools. Allow this book to give you a new use for your favorite deck

To me more of a devotional type of book, to bring into your practice through tarot cards. Going through the cards as groups and connections to each other in these combinations.

This is a book to do some serious in-depth Tarot and divine feminine study. I read through it to write the review, but this is a book to take your time and do the exercises and rituals a bit at a time. You do feel you'll gain growth if you take the process a step at a time. The main concept of the book is what the author calls the tarot priestess path, a way to answer the goddesses' call, and deepen your practice so you can live as a daughter of the goddess (2). If nothing else, this book provides a good opportunity to learn about Tarot and the Divine Feminine.

A strength of the book is in the devotional exercises throughout the book. There is a variety of exercises. Some are rituals. Other exercises may be doing a particular Tarot spread or other card reading. Exercises also include journaling and altar work. There is plenty to do here, and the author provides exercises that are relatively easy to do. These are tasks that feel doable and do not require much equipment beyond some basics. As the author recommends, you may want to have multiple Tarot decks for various tasks.

The book also offers a lot of structure, so if you are like me, structure is good. The exercises build upon each other. So start at the beginning and work your way up. The book is written in an easy and nurturing tone, which is another strength.

Overall, this is a good book, especially for womxn. Learning is incremental, and the exercises offer depth. It is a book for reflection and deep study. It may be geared a bit more for beginners or for those who are coming back into a craft after an absence, but Tarot practitioners at any level can gain benefit from the lessons. This is a book to keep handy.

The book may also be a good selection for libraries with Tarot, pagan, and/or esoterica collections. This is one I would buy for our library if the local pagans requested it. I ended up really liking it.

This is very enlightening to read! I got new information and knowledge regarding the tarot cards and new ways to interpret them in the lens of a Priestess. I appreciate the new perspective Leeza Robertson offered in this book and how each of the cards had its connection to the goddess and the priestess.

I received a free digital ARC from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
I requested to read Tarot Priestess: Using the Cards to Heal, Grow & Serve by Leeza Robertson as I have long enjoyed seeing others use the Tarot but have never quite mastered the art myself. In addition the cover art on this book is stunning which made it stand out from other similar titles.

The book aims to create ‘a spiritual framework’ for the use of the major and minor arcana in tarot that practitioners can use to assist them in their readings. The author says it will expand readers practice for those that approach Tarot with and open heart and mind. It has an essay like opening in which the author explains the history of tarot, its links to practices such as witchcraft and why it has been frowned upon in the past. This was a very interesting and well researched introduction for those who are not familiar with card reading. The book states it can be used by all levels of tarot readers which I would agree with. Whilst deeper messages and meanings are present, the book has been laid out in a clear and readable manner. I would be to keen obtain a physical version to use alongside my practice to better understand the meanings of the cards and their practical applications.

Tarot Priestess: Using the Cards to Heal, Grow & Serve by Leeza Robertson, published by @llewellynbooks

A huge thank you to Llewellyn for allowing me to read a digital pre-release copy of this book via #NetGalley ❤️

This book is a guided journey to help you walk the path of a tarot priestess, so if you've ever felt the call to connect your tarot practice to devotional goddess work , this book will give you the framework to help make that happen.

It starts with a journey through three gateways using the major arcana cards, then the court cards assist in the process of Initiation, and finally the minor arcana cards become the temples to help you connect to the goddess of each suit.

The goal of the book is for the reader to learn to use their tarot deck as the touchstone of their priestess work, a mobile temple and sacred space of devotion, instruction and connection that you can take with you wherever you go.

Each of the four suits has its own temple, the Temple of Pentacles involves connecting to earthly devotion with the daughters of Danu. The Temple of Swords helps you learn truth, knowledge and light with Saraswati. The Temple of Wands encourages you to light your world on fire with Lilith, and the Temple of Cups helps you heal with the Lady of the Lake and the Priestesses of Avalon.

There are card spreads and devotional exercises throughout, and it's definitely a book that you'll get the most out of if you're willing to put the work in.

This is a fabulous read. I don’t think you can conceive how good it will be based on the abstract as it will not only meet, but exceed your expectations. The divine feminine shines the light on how the goddess temples associate to the cards and bring your skills to another If you are use the Tarot, you will want to add this to your reference library.

This book wasn't what I expected, but in the best way! It gives a truly good look at the tarot cards and is packed with wonderful information. This is really a great pick for a more advanced tarot reader or lover to me.

This book is great for those looking to expand their knowledge regarding the tarot and the divine feminine. I enjoyed learning about the different stages of initiation, particularly the Neophyte/Page ad Priestess/Queen stages. Where this book excels is in the discussion regarding the temples within the minor arcana and their corresponding goddesses: Danu, Saraswati, Lilith and Avalon. The way in which the information is displayed is well thought out and easy to follow along. I am looking forward to picking up a finished copy.

I was not sure what to expect with this book, but I'm pleasantly surprised. Leeza guides you through the archetypal elements of tarot especially from the High Priestess and divine feminine perspective. At the beginning of the book you'll find a lovely three card spread to get you going on the priestess journey, I must say my cards turned out to be very accurate.

What I also liked about this book is the inclusion of using tarot as a magickal tool: using cards to create seasonal and themed altars (protection, abundance e etc.), prayers and more. Overall this book is quite fun and something different from you everyday tarot books. I would say though, that this book is probably more useful for intermediate and advanced tarot readers but you can give it a go as a beginner too.
