I had the very good luck to receive a copy of Rachel Pollack’s soon to be released (May 2009) “Fortune’s Lover: A Book of Tarot Poems”. I have always regarded Pollack’s work very highly, and this present small (42 page) book does not disappoint.
Based on the twenty-two cards of the Tarot Major Arcana, each card [...]

I just finished reading “Sepulchre”, by Kate Mosse. Yes, the book came out in 2007, and I had heard about it, but it just now made its way into my hands. It is impressive not just by size (over 500 pages), but by content. Mosse (author of “Labyrinth”) gifts us with a “Da [...]

Valentine’s Day
Posted in Tarot on February 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. This day can be a warm fuzzy, highly over-rated, or a push button for angst of all kinds. As a Tarot reader, I have seen the many arms of this amoeba, and have seen and heard things that I would never have believed were possible.
Rather than doing a couple’s focused relationship [...]
Trump L’Oeil Companion Book

I have just been reviewing the companion book for Craig Conley’s “Trump L’Oeil – Tarot of Portmeirion”. I love the deck – which is based on the eccentric village of Portmeirion, in Wales. The art, statues and architecture in this village are a fantasy world of thier own – every turn, every corner brings something [...]

In going through several boxes of books that I have stored in the garage, I ran across two wonderful little books on the Tarot. Little in size (4 1/4″ by 7″ and 5″ by 6 1/2″), but filled with their own unique take on the Tarot.
“How To Understand The Tarot, by Frank Lind (The Aquarian [...]
