  Book Review: Tarot For Troubled Times
  By Shaheen Miro & Theresa Reed
(Weiser Books, July 2019)

Tarot for Troubled Times by Shaheen Miro and Theresa Reed is a highly relevant book, and it drops this week. This book is an extraordinary guide for readers who want a deeper dive, but it’s  publication also  hits exactly at the moment when our world needs it the most.  Worldwide politics are surreal and terrifying; the threat of war is constant, mass shootings and terrorism are rampant; addiction and depression are  major challenges faced by thousands, if not millions. So yeah…”troubled times” is an understatement.

This book also lines up in perfect synchronicity with a global uptick in interest for anything and everything  metaphysical. Pretty much anything  witchy  or “woo woo” is downright trendy at the moment, and of course that includes Tarot. In factTarot leads the pack.  Currently, everyone and their fifteen year old sister are hoarding  new decks, smudge bundles and rose quartz, declaring themselves expert Tarot readers.

  This book, however, is written by real experts: the depth of knowledge here and the way it’s imparted are simply un-paralleled.

 Both authors are highly respected metaphysicians, each with a yards-long long list of talents and accomplishments, which is what  makes this book so compelling and comprehensive.

We first met Shaheen Miro at the Denver Tarot Convention in 2015, where he taught an incredible class on tasseography, more commonly known as tea leaf reading. He’s a psychic, a card reader, a deck creator (The Lunar Nomad Oracle Deck)  an energy worker and intuitive coach. Follow this link to an interview we did with Shaheen for more info on his process:

Theresa Reed aka The Tarot Lady is so well known, she probably doesn’t need an introduction… but just in case: she’s a driving force in the global Tarot  community, and an expert on several levels. She’s a crackerjack reader, an author and prolific blogger, an astrologer, and a business mentor who really knows her stuff. She was  recently the keynote speaker at The Readers Studio, the largest Tarot event in the United States; she also hosts a popular  podcast and teaches workshops and seminars  worldwide. Click this link to read  our interview with her:

  But back to their book: Tarot For Trouble Times is a profound work, addressing  healing through Tarot and magick, using everything from unflinching personal shadow work to cutting etheric cords. There’s sections on everything from dealing with energy vampires to becoming more globally aware and socially conscious. Written workbook style, there are chapters on the Elements, personal affirmations, rituals, meditations and candle magic as well as lots of  Tarot wisdom.

The plethora of Tarot spreads is sweeping and unique, including layouts created specifically for  self-knowledge as well as  for grief,  addiction and relapses, and for those dark times when you feel lost and untethered.

 Tarot For Troubled Times  really lives up to it’s subtitle: “Confront your shadow, heal your self, transform the world”.  

We highly recommend this thoughtful-and thought-provoking book. It’s must for any serious reader and those who aspire to be.

  1. When I found Dr. OKISIN I was desperate in need of bringing my ex lover back. He left me for another woman. It happened so fast and I had no say in the situation at all. He just dumped me after 3 years with no explanation. I contact Dr. OKISIN through his Whats app number +2348109374702  and He told me me what i need to do before he can help me and i did what he told me to, after i provided what he wanted, he cast a love spell to help us get back together. Shortly after he did his spell, my boyfriend started texting me again and felt horrible for what he just put me through. He said that I was the most important person in his life and he knows that now. We moved in together and he was more open to me than before and then he started spending more time with me than before. Ever since Dr. OKISIN helped me, my partner is very stable, faithful and closer to me than before. I highly recommends Dr. OKISIN to anyone in need of help.

  6. My Dear friends online, I'm so happy to give this miracle testimony which is so unbelievable until now. I had a problem with my Ex husband 2 years ago, which led to our break up. I was not myself again, I felt so empty inside me, my love and financial situation became worse, until a close friend of mine told me about a spell caster who helped her in the same problem too. His name is Doctor kojo. I emailed the spell caster and i told him my problem and I did what he asked of me, to cut the long story short. Before I knew what was happening, less than two days ago my husband gave me a call and told me that he was coming back to me. I was so happy to have him back to me. The most interesting part of the story is that I am pregnant. Thanks to Doctor Kojo for saving my marriage and for also saving others' own too. Continue your good work, If you are interested to contact the great spell caster email address: kojosolutionhome@yahoo.com or contact him on whatsapp +2348139206346

  7. I was diagnosed of herpes 3 years, and ever since then i have been taking treatment to prevent outbreaks, burning and blisters, but there was no improvement until i came across testimonies of Dr. VOODOO on how he has been curing different people from different diseases all over the world, then i contacted him. After our conversation he sent me the medicine which i took according to his instructions for up to 2 weeks. After completing the medication i went back to my doctor for another test and the virus was all gone and i was completely cured, since then i have not had any signs of outbreak. I'm so filled with joy. With herbal medication Herpes Virus is 100% curable.
