Witch With Books: February 2022 (Talking Tarot, Love Magic, and More!)

It's February and we are talking Tarot on this month's edition of the Witch With Books Podcast. Meg and Jason share not only their favorite decks on this episode, but also their favorite Tarot related books! And just for February, we share our favorite books about love and lust in honor of Valentine's Day!

Featured titles this month include The Altar Within by Juliet Diaz,  Loki and Signy by Lea Svendsen, The Modern Witchcraft Guide to the Runes by Judy Ann Nock, and Welsh Witchcraft  by Mhara Starling. We also jump in the wayback machine to discuss two books by occult pioneer Dion Fortune, and share our favorite social media stars, and the titles we are most looking forward to in the coming months!
