Alaric Albertsson (Iowa) is the author of several books on magic and spirituality, including A Handbook of Saxon Sorcery and Magic and To Walk a Pagan Path. He has served as vice president and was on the board of directors of the Heartland Spiritual Alliance, and has served as the Anglo-Saxon Vice Chieftain for Ár nDraíocht Féin's Germanic kin, Eldr ok Iss. Albertsson first embraced polytheism in the summer of 1971. At that time he was introduced to the folk tradition of spell casting and divination with playing cards. Over the past five decades, Albertsson's personal spiritual practice has developed as a synthesis of Anglo-Saxon tradition, folk magic, herbal studies and rune lore. Visit him on Facebook.

Reviews for Fortune in Your Hands: A Witch's Guide to Playing Card Divination and Magic

"""Alaric Albertsson brings Witches back to the magickal art of playing cards, an often-forgotten part of our Craft. Taking us through the history and clearing misconceptions, sharing the esoteric theories of the elements and numbers, and most importantly, teaching the practical applications, we can learn from him as a trusted magickal elder passing on an important part of the modern Witch's legacy to us.""--Christopher Penczak, author of the Temple of Witchcraft series"
