Tarot; Mysticism, magic & ritual

The Left Hand Path of Tarot offers the perspective of the outsiders, the outcasts, the marginalised, the nonconforming, and all who live on the fringes of what society labels as 'civilised', 'acceptable', or 'canon'. Cards with a negative reputation, like The Tower or The Devil, acquire a completely new layer of meaning that has extensive and relevant shadow-work applications and extremely practical advice in matters that are often frowned upon by spiritualists, such as kink, self-branding, monetisation, body transformation, glamour, and self-defense.

The Left Hand Path of Tarot suggests a paradigm shift for tarot archetypes that goes beyond classic interpretation of the major arcana. It's the chaos, subversion, and alchemy of the self in the left-hand path of tarot that challenges social norms and leads you to explore the deepest parts of your soul. It is the torch that lights the fire through which we must all walk in order to transcend and achieve the highest victory a human being can aspire to complete: self-love.

'Truly, The Left-Hand Path of Tarot serves as a tarot for our times, one that invites us to direct contemplation of the eerie trickster dimensions of phenomenal reality and of our own souls, so that we might learn to more deeply enjoy our wholeness.'

Cherry Parra is a Mexican left-hand path witch residing in Mexico. She majored in Hispanic literature and has an innate and inherited connection to the occult practices-Parra's magic stems from a matriarchal lineage of healers. Her great-grandmother was a witch, a curandera (traditional folk healer) from Oaxaca in southern Mexico, who people in the community would turn to when they needed healing in matters of the body and spirit. Cherry's life mission is to shine a light on the uncomfortable truths most people like to ignore. The shadows are her second home and greatest teachers. Cherry lives and maintains a closed spiritual practice in Mexico from where she reads tarot for a select international clientele that includes artists, creatives, and visionaries.

Reviews for The Left-Hand Path of Tarot: Breaking Taboos, Confronting Shadows, and Achieving Self-Love

“What makes The Left-Hand Path of Tarot compelling is the precision and originality of its perspective. Parra’s interpretation offers a unique way of engaging the tarot, presenting the cards as a practical system that functions as a tool, a weapon, and a compass for navigating one’s life. Through confrontation, choice, and empowerment, the cards become instruments of agency and insight, as the book approaches themes and experiences often left unexplored in tarot literature with an audacious boldness.” —Mat Auryn, author of The Psychic Art of Tarot, Psychic Witch, and Mastering Magick
