⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Travis McHenry offers a bold reinterpretation of the tarot for the dedicated occultist, leveraging 17th-century daemon lore to create a potent, albeit niche, divinatory tool. The inclusion of sigils and references to the Key of Solomon provides depth for those versed in Solomonic magic. However, this book is not for casual readers or beginners seeking simple fortune-telling; it demands prior knowledge of ceremonial practices and comfort with daemon invocation. Those uninterested in heavy esoteric theory or unfamiliar with grimoire traditions may find the content obscure and unnecessarily complex. It serves a specific audience well but lacks broad appeal.

McHenry's creation is deeply rooted in the Solomonic magical tradition, specifically adhering to the principles of daemon conjuration found in texts like *The Key of Solomon*. The cards are not merely symbolic, but incorporate authentic sigils and seals, making it a faithful representation and practical extension of this esteemed, albeit often misunderstood, system of ceremonial magic.
