This book enters the reading situation in cartomancy without the usual introduction to the Marseille tarot. Instead, it uses the cards themselves as prompts to establish a direct method. What is good to do? Cast a string of three cards and find out. What is good to avoid? Read more cards. Camelia Elias entices the reader to consider the premise for reading the cards, including what questions to ask, dismantling in the process some of the most common ideas regarding the general aim in cartomancy. What do the cards say in the drafting of a Do and Don’t list? What carnival of cards does the fortuneteller participate in? As usual, we’re in for a surprise.

In this book Camelia Elias offers ten examples of reading the six-card draw with the Marseille Tarot. The topic is the theme of choice and the common thread that runs through it is the question of what is at stake when we compare situations.

In this book Camelia Elias reads the Marseille Tarot in various cross layouts. The 15 examples she goes through offer the reader unique insight into method, practice and personal experience. The cards are cast with a steady hand and the crosses are read with a strong heart. The result is nothing short of awesome.

Taking her point of departure in a simple draw of cards, Camelia Elias demonstrates the essence of her cartomantic signature based on the imperative to read like the Devil. A 3-card draw, its mirror, and two readings of follow-up questions is all it takes for a whole philosophy and practice of reading cards to unfold.

This short history of divination with cards looks at three main traditions: the French, the British, and the Anglo-American gone ‘French’. The style is succinct and personal, with the writing performing on two levels: the descriptive in a historical context and the reflective in a contemplative context. In between, the author offers an original take on how we can think about the history of divination.

This book is an omnibus edition that gathers three types of texts around the Marseille Tarot: two previously published works out of print, here in re-edited form, unpublished lectures, and new essays. The book features applications of the basic principles of reading the Marseille Tarot to the contextualization of current questions and concerns.

This is a collection of essays that gathers the voices of both reputed veteran and young cartomancers. The book captures the heart of cartomancy through 21+1 snappy rules, delivered with martial arts aplomb in the form of manifestos.
