Musings on Tarot Decks: The Alice Tarot
I confess, I have a favorite Tarot-creating company—it’s Baba Studios and their Magic Realist Press by Irish designer Karen Mahoney and Russian illustrator Alex Zukov. I get their newsletters regularly, letting me know in advance when one of their new custom decks will be soon available, and I am a sucker for their limited edition Tarot…...
Musings on Tarot decks— The Antique Anatomy Tarot
My love of Tarot card decks is well known, even in the world of muggles. That’s why I’m surprised I don’t receive them more often as gifts. This Christmas, however, was different.

Musings on Tarot Decks: The Christmas Tarot
Merry Christmas Darlings! Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus Tarot Deck. Or rather, several.

The Dali Tarot
Salvator Dali was one of the most important surrealist painters of our time. He was also very interested in the tarot. In 1972 Albert R Broccoli approached Dali about creating a tarot tarot deck to be used by the Tarot-reading character Solitaire in the James Bond film ‘Live or Let Die’. The Studio negotiated back…...
The Crow Deck
I recently read an interesting posts about crows, of all things. It intrigued me: “Two resident crows have learned that when the cat meows at the kitchen door I come out and feed him and then they get the scraps, so they have taught themselves to ‘meow’ also. It’s both terrifying and hilarious.” Crows are…...

I don’t know about you, but I am setting my intention to gently enter 2021, with hope for the future and love in my heart. I’ve even found the perfect mantra and the perfect way to set my intention for the NewYear. This works in the form of a request and I found it in…...
