Spells of Iron & Bone (Tarot Academy, #1)

by Sarah Piper

There’s nothing the universe loves more than a chance to show us how truly breakable we really are.

Witches accused of capital crimes are never acquitted. That’s not how it works.

“Fear is our most primal, most powerful emotion. It leaves an imprint—almost like a ghost in the room.

Wands correspond with fire and rule things like passion, inspiration, creativity, and spirituality. Pentacles, the earth suit, connect to the material realm—money and resources, career, home, physical health, sensual pleasures. Emotions and relationships belong to the suit of cups, the water element. And air, the element connected with swords, has to do with both conflict and mental energy. Thoughts, communication, words, ideas, things like that.

Sometimes things have to blow up in your face in order for you to find the good shit underneath.”

The Three of Cups card always reminds me of girlfriends, of people joining together to celebrate something or support each other.

“A witch’s mind is her sharpest tool, but a Tarot deck is her closest companion. Her confidante, her trusted advisor.”
