Which books do I recommend most often? I recommend a lot of books (kind of comes with the territory), but there are some titles I come back to again and again.
Mat Auryn has written a triumvirate of powerful foundational texts to help you hone your psychic, spellcasting, and tarot-reading abilities. His voice is that of a patient, kind, and supportive teacher; his lessons are effective and accessible (I love that he considers neurodiversity and how unique everyone’s perception can be).
The Psychic Witch lays the groundwork for strong, confident psychic practice for strong, confident spellwork. Everyone can do this, and under Mat’s guidance, you’ll build the trust in your own abilities that will help you succeed.
Mastering Magick builds on these techniques and takes you further. With greater understanding, you’ll be able to craft more complex and powerful workings. Mat gives you the background knowledge for your creative self to take flight.
I return to both titles in my own library often; these are not books you just read once. They support you throughout your journey, like having a trusted teacher you can check in with when you need help or inspiration.
The Psychic Art of Tarot is a fantastic book on its own; a friend of mine who is a gifted professional reader called it one of the best tarot books she’s ever read. I would agree.
This is not your typical tarot book. You can use the techniques and exercises on their own to enhance your readings, or you can read this book as an extension of the techniques The Psychic Witch teaches. It’s a confidence-building approach to offering deep, multilayered, insightful readings using your innate psychic skills. It’s also a guide for building a relationship with your intuition and with the cards themselves.
