Ellen Cannon Reed's handling of the Tarot Major Arcana symbolism, in relation to the Paths between the Spheres of the Tree of Life, is refreshing and informative. She presents a thorough analysis of the Paths and their relationship to the Tarot, and gives excellent instructions for working with the Paths -- both for the individual and in a teacher/student(s) situation. She has many wise words on a number of important aspects, from personal choice of a Tarot deck to addressing the so-called 'evil' repository of the subconscious mind. Detailed are excellent lists of correspondences, including mythological figures and their function in relation to the specific Path experience. Here is a well-presented, extremely usable book. -- Ray Buckland, Buckland's Complete Book of WitchcraftEllen Cannon Reed's new book, The Witches Tarot, blazes trails to undiscovered countries: those areas between the spheres of the Qabalistic Tree of Life. We all hunger to know the most secret nooks and niches of life, death, rebirth, and the Otherworld. This book explores them boldly. The reader will also find Ms. Reed's pleasant, conversational style evoking some very personal responses. There is much here that any reader can relate to his/her own experience of self-actualization. -- Ed Fitch, Magical Rites from the Crystal WellReed has opened the old dusty book of Qabala for us and let in light and air. Her ease of expressing complex philosophical ideas in understandable, everyday words is refreshing. She presents her paths of enlightenment through the Qabala without requiring the reader to believe that hers is the only accepted way. -- Jack Hurley, The New Tarot Deck
