Book List

Penny Key

Penny Key picked up her first deck of tarot cards while in college in the early 70s, and learned to read by mentorship as well as studying the few books (one) on the subject in the library of her small Southern city. She moved to Los Angeles in the late 70s, and while working in the entertainment industry, she worked at Psychic Fairs as a tarot reader, acquiring a small clientèle. She stopped reading “professionally” because she began to feel like a therapist and felt unqualified to help her clients further. Now, she only read for friends and family. She spent many years in the entertainment industry, including nearly a decade as a talent agent. Ironically it was while she was an agent that she felt the call to actually become a psychotherapist, and returned to graduate school to get a master’s in psychology. Today she’s a Marriage and Family Therapist, working as a counselor at an art college. She also has a private practice in Santa Monica, CA, and has recently joined a small discussion group interested in exploring the psychological side of tarot.

A Scorecard on Conventional Wisdom from New York Times: Week in Review

Initiation: The Western Magical Tradition with Lon Milo DuQuette


Maybe Logic Academy
March 24 through May 4, 2008

This course is designed as a six week initiatory experience – Initiation into an informal, (yet I assure you, very real) magical order. Like in other schools of the Western Mystery Tradition, this order is comprised of three degrees, each with its own ritual of self-initiation, secret password, grip, signs of recognition, and jewel.

Sound silly? I confess up front that we will have fun. But the underlying magical power of such silliness has its roots in the Egyptian Book of the Dead – a secret of human consciousness that (properly understood and mastered) is said to be the key to overcoming death.

The course is ideal for both magical novices and adepts. We will undergo real initiations and work real magick. The three degrees are:

First Degree: The Lesser Mysteries
Second Degree: The Greater Mysteries
Third Degree: The Supreme Secret

Chapter Two: Space/Time Divination

Voyager Tarot - Trump 20. Time-SpaceDivination is an art of magic that supposedly tells a person the “future.” Many magicians advocate doing a divination before performing a spell in order to determine the outcome of the spell. Others, such as myself, rarely use divination for that purpose. I have my reasons for not doing so, mainly because I feel that divination can obscure probabilities that could occur. If you are willing to buy into the one, two, or three outcomes that are depicted, but are ignorant of the various other outcomes that could occur, and are not represented in the cards, you are limiting your possibilities. However, this is not to say that divination, in its various forms, isn’t useful to the creative magician. It just means you need to take a different approach to how you use divination tools. I only use tarot cards. I know there are other divination systems, but the cards work for me. For those of you who don’t use tarot cards, however, it is still possible to take the gist of the ideas I describe and apply them to your divinatory tools.

Part of the problem with divination is that it might be considered a rather passive form of magic. I put some cards down and suddenly I know my future. However, I have found that divination can be a very active form of magic. Divination can be a form of space/time magic. When most people think of divination, they think of tarot cards, or a crystal ball and a person telling them what will occur in their future. While this stereotype is true of divination, most people don’t understand the dynamics involved, i.e. what is actually happening when their ”future” is “read.” What is actually occurring is not so much a foreseeing of the future, but rather a person choosing to perceive one or two specific probabilities from a field of infinite probabilities. The problems that this can cause mainly comes down to the person choosing to believe in this one probability, as opposed to exploring other probabilities of the future that could be just as useful to them, if they were willing to question what they perceive about their probabilities and the future. Another problem is giving too much authority to the people who tell the ”future.” By giving those people authority, you give away your responsibility and choices.
