Okay book that had several slow parts in this book. You have to be interested in the subject for this book to be captivating.

I really loved this book. I enjoyed working my way through it and finding out so many new things connecting my star sign with other practices like Tarot. It's written in an easy-to-follow way and the author has done it in an almost conversational tone, which I found really lovely to read. I'm definitely going to use some of what I've learnt going forward and i can't wait to see what books the author brings out next.

Power, Purpose, Practice by Kerry Ward introduces you to how tarot, numerology and the planets coincide with your star sign to bring insight into your nature.
Part one focuses on your star sign and its correspondences to discover your "power" - what makes you tick.
Part two focuses on numerology and your life path to help discover your "purpose".
Part three focuses on meditations, activities and rituals to perform to develop your "practice" and incorporate these concepts into your day to day life.
I really enjoyed this book. Easy to follow and digest. There were magical illustrations throughout. Perfect for beginners.

Power, Purpose, Practice by Kerry Ward is the perfect manual for anyone interested in astrology, numerology, and mystical symbolism. The author does a fantastic job of explaining to the reader how to find their star sign and the power associated with it. After determining the information, the reader can then learn how their sign, numerology, element, etc influences their life purpose. And finally, emphasis on how to benefit from your personal data by practicing rituals/meditations at appropriate times.

As someone who wouldn't necessarily call myself a novice, I was able to skim the first section about finding my numerology and astrology data. However, this information is excellent to have when gathering this data for other people. I learned so much about myself from the rest of the book and I continue to use much of the information I learned here when considering my meditation practices, etc. Kudos to Ward for making a wonderful resource for those interested in the metaphysical space!

Thank you to NetGalley, Fair Winds Press, and Kerry Ward for this ARC. All opinions expressed here are my own.

I really enjoyed this book. In part 1, you find out your star sign and the element that goes with that sign, then the tarot card and planet that links to your element to help you find your elemental power. Then you read about each one and learn more about yourself! In part 2 you learn about numerology and your life path number in order to help you find your purpose, then in part 3 there are planetary meditations and some lovely elemental rituals that I am really looking forward to having a go at.

I found the descriptions of particularly the elements to be spot on and I really enjoyed the beautiful illustrations that accompany the book. If you enjoy esoteric books and learning more about yourself through tarot and the elements, as well as some almost-witchy rituals, you will love this book.

With thanks to Netgalley and Fair Winds Press for this ARC. All opinions are my own.

This book is a great introduction to the idea of finding direction and purpose through the use of astrology, numerology, and tarot to build a unique, multi-faceted personality profile based on your birth date. It's written in a casual, intimate voice and features artwork that's got a very metaphysical vibe.

Overall the book is interesting and is divided in a way that it's truly easy to understand. The illustrations in the book are gorgeous. The only thing I did not love was that I felt the information provided by the book was somewhat surface-level. I would definitely recommend it to someone that is starting with these topics or someone that wants the information provided in the same place with beautiful designs.

Thank you NetGalley, Quarto Publishing Group, and Fair Winds Press for providing me with a copy of this book to review.

Power, Purpose, Practice by Kerry Ward is a beautifully interactive and enjoyable book. The illustrations were gorgeous, and aligned with each page. This book is proactive and guides the reader through learning about themselves. I enjoyed that the reader does not need a birth time to complete the book, which makes for an accessible guide open to anyone wanting to learn about these aspects. The aspects and themes explored were digestible and informative and they pulled me into the book. I feel as if I’ve learnt so much from Power, Purpose, Practice.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand about themselves and about their inner/outer worlds. Thank you to Netgalley, Quarto Publishing Group - Fair Winds and Kerry Ward for an expertly written and illustrated ARC.

As someone seasoned in tarot & astrology, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and learning more about the concept of numerology as well. The layout is helpful and the imagery is stunning. I think this would be a fantastic resource for both a beginner, and someone familiar with all three subjects already.

This book was fantastic! The illustrations were STUNNING and the writing was soooo easy to read and digest.

If you are looking to dip your toes into Astrology, Numerology and the concepts of Tarot - this is your book! It gives you the basic concepts and information to get started on your journey.

I really hope this author decides to write something more in depth, because I loved this and want more. I definitely plan on purchasing a physical copy when the book is released.

This is a very nicely crafted book. The first thing that catches your eye is the beautiful illustrations. As for the content, it is mystical and fascinating. For me, the most exciting part was the Tarot Archetypes and rituals. I've always wondered which tarot card corresponds to which sign. Now, thanks to this book, I know. I think that this position will be perfect for people who are interested in discovering slightly less formal qualities and looking at themselves from a completely different perspective.
