A compelling method of divination, guaranteed to teach sceptics, materialists and atheists to get ’spooky results’ within their first hour with the Tarot.
This book will take you from Tarot beginner to a professional level of reading, without asking you to relinquish your scepticism or requiring you to adopt a magical belief system.
It gets deep into the psychology and nature of symbolism, storytelling, counselling, our intuition and what is and isn’t going on with psychic phenomena.
By the end of the book, you will not only be a Tarot expert, but also have a deep understanding of what divination can and can’t do.
Psychic Results for Sceptics contains a complete comparison between Rider Waite Smith, Crowley’s Thoth and the Marseilles decks; in depth descriptions of every card; a complete history of Tarot and its relationship with playing cards and magic; example readings with each deck in a selection of spreads, and much more!

“Playfulness is the bridge that links scepticism to belief, and Tarot for Sceptics takes us dancing across that bridge. In Parts 1 and 2 we learn the history and evolution of the tarot, the theories that connect and explain the cards, how different artists have built and interpreted the images and, above all, how to read and enjoy the tarot. Part 3, exploring how tarot works in relationships between existence, personality and mind, offers lessons in life and magic that go way beyond mere divination. Don’t touch another tarot deck until you have read this book.”
