A new book is comming out that looks at the science behind the tarot. Here is a tid-bit of the article that may grab your interest:So back to our original question: why bother with Tarot? Here’s one answer, supported more by science than speculation: Tarot cards are a powerful, flexible, visual short-cut to creative thinking on demand. The images, numbers, and keywords on the cards give our

The book The Eight of Swords was released in this past April. Here is one review that I have found:The book won the St. Martin/Malice Domestic contest for best first traditional mystery, the first time ever a man has won, and is a good example of how elastic the subgenre often mislabeled as "cozy" can be. The story may be a little short on clues, but the author exactly nails the Berkeley scene,

Many comments on the history of the Tarot today. I believe in Europe, Tarot decks are used commonly to play a card game of Tarot. I haven't seen how this is played, but I have read about it from time to time.in The Game of Tarot(London, Duckworth, 1980):Dummett suggests the date of the Visconti di Modrone as around 1445.His summary of Steele, Decker, Kaplan and his own arguments for the date of

The picture "Apollo with Daphne" presents, according to art researcher Maike Voigt-Lüerssen (compare Tarot News of April 2004), the young Milanese duke Galeazzo Maria Visconti and his wife Bona of Savoyen in the year 1468, at the opportunity of their marriage in the role of Apollo and Daphne. We cannot control the validity of this attribution in the moment, so we've no specific opinion about it.

A tarot reading tells a story. Each card in its placement within the reading is part of the story. It's a story of influences and energies. Sometimes tarot readings refer to specific things or events in the world, other times the wisdom is shared in the form of amorphous, less specific references.

The images on tarot cards can seem menacing, even evil. But a modern tarot reading doesn’t feel like a journey into the heart of the dark arts. In fact, tarot cards — along with many pursuits under the ‘‘metaphysical’’ label — have moved toward the mainstream.

I got this deck for a few reasons. 1. I like Lord of the Rings movies 2. It's a tarot deck 3. It has it's own game We played a few rounds of the game when I first got the deck. But since then, I haven't touched it. Cards have descriptions of sceens from the book. The game is simple enough to learn and would make a great gift for anyone you may know who is a large fan of the books, movies,

The Instant Tarot Reader a.k.a. The Zerner/Farber Tarot Deck I was literally shocked that my sister in-law said I could take a picture of her cards and put them on my tarot blog. I find these cards to be very unique and suits her perfectly. They are a little thinner then the standard playing card. Each card has pictures made from different textiles, lace, and variouse found objects. She

Ravenswood Eastern Tarot This is my very first tarot deck. I purchased it at a magick shop that I used to hang out at in Pittsburgh called Aziz. I picked this deck because it was small and I could color it in. I figured it may help me to learn tarot a bit more and also let me express my creativity. I colored a few cards with coloring pencils - but the glossy card stock was hard to use. The

Tarot de Paris I purchased this deck because of the artwork displayed on the back of the box. Most images are of statues around Paris. The illustrator then changed them with graphic editing software to create stunning visuals. Upon opening the box, you will see a very nicely made hard-back book along with a silk-like cloth of a stained class pattern. After picking up the book, my heart sank

The Mythic Tarot This was one of my first sets of tarot cards. I like the theme throughout the deck dealing with Greek Mythology. The book comes with many stories to associate with the cards. The book is made in such a way, that it is hard to open fully and begins to break apart with time. The pattern on the back of the cards makes it easy to determine how to turn the cards so that they are
