The Magic of 8: a book of Deconstructed Divination haiku poems and art by Wendy Lee Gadzuk

I am thrilled to offer my new book, The Magic of 8, to the world! The books will arrive signed and infused with more magic!

The Magic of 8 is a limited edition full color, hardcover, 152 page trade sized (6″ x 9″) book of haiku poems written by me to accompany each of the 44 cards in my Deconstructed Divination oracle deck. It includes 12 full color plates of some of the drawings used to create the oracle deck, which is comprised of cropped sections of my larger drawings.  An 8 page introduction, along with some sample readings is included as well. A download card for an audio version will be included.

This has been a labor of love and I’m eternally grateful for Jon Christopher of Traveling Shoes Press for laying this out and helping me bring this to life, and for the discerning eye of Beth Allen for her help with the typography.

The number 8 kept appearing to me in so many things that were involved with this book, so I could not ignore the magic in that number that was so obviously presenting itself to me. The deck is 44 cards, which reduces to 8. “D,” being the 4th letter of the alphabet, plus “D” (as in Deconstructed Divination) equals 8. 17 syllables in the haiku poems reduce to 8. Then, in a completely unplanned act of magic, the book contains 152 pages, which reduces to 8. Yup, something is happening here!

6 different packages are offered here with my book, including this one, which is the signed book only. Return to shop page to view other options. Each price includes U.S. shipping, and each price reduces to 8. How magical is that?
