Witchcraft & Paganism Book Group discusses A Walk Through the Forest of Souls by Rachel Pollack

This month’s book choice is A Walk Through the Forest of Souls: A Tarot Journey to Spiritual Awakening by Rachel Pollack.
Rachel Pollack was many things -a transgender woman born into a Jewish family, an award winning sci-fi author, a feminist activist, and an absolute icon for both the LGBTQ+ and magical communities. When writing Doom Patrol for DC Comics she introduced the first transgender superhero, and her Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom is still essential reading for those learning to read tarot. This month’s book however, is suitable for both those who read (or want to read) tarot and anyone who simply wants to know more about what tarot is, it’s history, and what it means in a spiritual and magical context.
The book looks at the tarot through the lenses of myth, folklore, psychology, and Kabbalah. It was originally published under the title Forest of Souls: A Walk Through the Tarot, but we recommend you get the updated and expanded edition that came out in 2023.
