Whether you’re new to tarot or a seasoned reader looking to go deeper, psychic medium Salicrow invites you to step beyond the basics and into the soul of the cards. Tarot as Storyteller (Destiny Books, June 2025) is a bold new take on cartomancy that blends psychic development, symbolic literacy, and spiritual storytelling.
In this guide, Salicrow shows how to read tarot and oracle cards with greater precision and confidence by awakening your intuition, activating sacred space, and learning to see each card as part of a rich, unfolding narrative. Readers will discover practices for empathic protection, body dowsing, sacred timing, and crafting a personal symbolic language that transforms each reading into a conversation with the unseen.
Drawing on decades of experience, Salicrow shares unique methods for working with tarot and oracle cards through activated prayer, spell work, and guided journeys. She reintroduces the Major Arcana not as abstract archetypes but as vivid personal experiences that readers can feel, interpret, and integrate.
You’ll also learn how to choose a deck that resonates with you, cleanse and store your cards, and use spreads for everything from relationships to healing to career insight. More than a how-to manual, Tarot as Storyteller is an invitation to become a sacred interpreter of fate—one card at a time.
