"The Magical Spell of a Book" CARD DECK
"OMG!! I LOVE this!"
"I’ve been using the cards every week—they are always a great way to start my day!"
"Hellllloooooooooooo?! I am in love with this!!!
"OMG! If the cards weren't dead on!"
"Oh, wow. The Magic Spell of a Book is a beautiful gift for every writer (aspiring and otherwise) in your life! Nancy Cleary of Wyatt-MacKenzie has created something that is part inspiration, part muse, and part magic. And isn’t that what every writing journey requires?! Five out of five stars!"
"I highly recommend The Magic Spell of a Book to any writer ready to embrace both the craft and the magic of bringing a story into the world."
"As a novelist, I’m drawn to tools and objects that honor the creative process. The Magic Spell of a Book feels like exactly that kind of offering. As a writer who spends long stretches of time between a first idea and finished novel, I was genuinely moved by the spirit behind these materials. They were created by someone who understands writers and the doubt, hope, vulnerability, and courage it takes to send work into the world. The blend of play and practical encouragement makes that journey feel more imaginative and possible."
"In a publishing world that can sometimes feel transactional, these offerings feel personal. They restore a sense of wonder about why we write."
"I got the package yesterday and opened it at a book club I run for other writers where we meet and talk about craft, using our current read as a basis for the conversation. Anyhow, it created an opportunity to hear their thoughts on your new idea. And they were completely transfixed! It just so happens that all of them are also into tarot on some level and so there's that. But they were all very excited about it."

Book Club for One ~ Card Decks
"The artwork on the deck is beautiful."
"I enjoyed the 'tarot reading' aspect of the cards. I can see using the book oracle cards for a Book Club for One. I love how different oracles bring up different questions, so these cards could stand in for other 'readers'. So much fun!"
"These are beautiful and thought-provoking – and the activities help expand the way we interact with story."
"What a fantastic interactive program to evoke rich and dynamic book club discussion!"
"The tarot card aspect is a lot of fun!"
"Great idea for my book club! The questions are appropriate for so many books and the cards themselves are beautiful."
"The deck is very interactive and would make a great resource for schools as a way for discussion/explanation of literature."
"I loved how the question cards led to a deep discussion about the book of how each reader related to it with their personal experiences. The venture cards are so fun. I think the drinks menu and playlist are great if you’re using the deck alone or great for the hostess of a book club to increase fun and engagement with the book."
"There is a store of thought-provoking material here that can expand our thoughts about the novel as well as help us see our own thoughts anew. Loved it!!"
"This takes book club to the next level! A game that inspires creativity, deep thought, and camaraderie. Highly recommended!!!"
"Really enjoyed the card deck. It inspired great discussion among our group about elements of the story and how we interpreted it and related it to our own lives. Also love the activities that continue the creative expression of the reader."
"A gorgeous deck! Loved the playlist and the various activities as well as the questions to spark discussion."
