About the author
Sam Magdaleno is the author of tarot reference books published by Fair Winds Press, including The Tarot Spellbook: 78 Witchy Ways to Use Your Tarot Deck for Magick and Manifestation and The Big Book of Tarot Meanings: The Beginner's Guide to Reading the Cards. The Tarot Spellbook pairs each of the 78 cards in the Rider-Waite-Smith deck with a related exercise, framing the deck as a tool for spellwork as well as divination. The Big Book of Tarot Meanings takes a more conventional reference approach, breaking each card's meaning down by commonly asked question topics so beginners can find a relevant interpretation without memorizing every card in isolation. Together the two books serve readers who already own a tarot deck and want either a structured way to interpret it or additional practices to build around it.
