FREUD AND DIVINATION
FREUD AND DIVINATION: A POCKET BOOK ON CARDS, MAGIC & PSYCHOANALYSIS
BENT SØRENSEN
What does Sigmund Freud have to do with magic and cartomancy? Surprisingly much, Bent Sørensen argues, while looking at five key Freudian insights and applying them to the ways of and reasons for reading cards and performing magic.
The five insights can briefly be named as: The Death Drive; The Uncanny; De-negation; Dream Work; and Totem and Taboo. As a bonus, a sixth area of Freudian and Post-Freudian theory has also been incorporated in this little book – Narcissism as a social character.

REVIEWS
Great little read! Pulls no punches. Entry for all. Liked it!” — ETHAN McNICOL
Simple and precise on subject. I was first dismayed at the small size of the book. Upon reading I was very glad I purchased. I have followed and been a student of Camelia Elias and find her views on card reading to be a gust of fresh air for me. I eagerly await more books from her. Back to this book.... it is a mighty punch! If you are at all fascinated by stepping back from the norm, if you are interested in the teachings of Freud or a view of things from a wildly different perspective, this book will quench your thirst. It pushes that door open (that you didn't realize you needed to enter) to expand your ways of thinking. Thank you Bent Sorensen. — NINA, Amazon
Delightfully insightful. — VERONICA RAMIREZ, Amazon
