 The Tarot is a magical picture book that tells infinite stories about life...
The
nakedness of a Tarot reading quickly transports a seeker of self-knowledge
to intensely private places. Like no other oracle, Tarot commingles
the flames of magic, emotion, wisdom, and visual stimulation much
like, well, falling in love. From my many years working with this art,
I have observed that always the best readings, the truly urgent
readings, invariably command the subject of love and its concatenations. Readings and more information.
