Tayannah Lee McQuillar is a tarot reader and researcher of religion, esoterica, and mysticism. The author of several books and divination decks, including The Hoodoo Tarot and The Sibyls Oraculum, she lives in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
The fourth, eighth, and twelfth houses are the most mysterious and difficult to understand, and much of that is due to their connections to mysticism and the deep work of the soul. Astrology for Mystics openly and honestly explores these shadowy areas in the birth chart, casting light into the places just beyond those dark doors and making them more accessible to seekers who may have been too intimidated to enter. Tayannah Lee McQuillar gently leads the reader into the element of water flowing through our unconscious minds and hearts and invites us to explore its depths. * Raven Kaldera, author of Pagan Astrology * An intriguing and unusual book about the most mysterious of the elements. Mystics may not need to be astrologers, but astrologers do need to be mystics, so both have something to learn here. * Alison Chester-Lambert, MA, author of Greek Mythology Reading Cards * I found Astrology for Mystics refreshing with its holistic approach to the water element. Tayannah Lee McQuillar is clearly a solid astrologer who adds her own perceptive insights to this book, including the significant fundamental equivalence of water signs, houses, and mysticism. As a person with long-term and personal interest in the subject, I can say that it substantially added to my astrological knowledge and personal understanding of the fourth, eighth, and twelfth houses. * Frederick Hamilton Baker, author of Alchemical Tantric Astrology * Tayannah Lee McQuillar presents a model for understanding our own watery depths of emotion found in the fourth, eighth, and twelfth houses of our birth charts while also encouraging us to accept or reject the information by weighing it against our intuition. This perspective is refreshing and empowering. A relatable and helpful read. * Lisa Tahir, LCSW, author of The Chiron Effect *
