Many of us will be traveling over the holiday season, so I thought I’d share another way to use your tarot cards: to cast a Safe Travel Spell. This one is from Donald Michael Kraig’s Tarot Magic. For a safe travel spell, you would use the God and Goddess candles, the candle for your birth sign, and the candle for the day on which you are doing the ritual (see below for color correspondences).
