The titles have recently arrived in bookstore, and available at Amazon! 

So if you've ever wanted to learn to read tarot cards for yourself, or if you'd like to go deeper into understanding the symbolism of the tarot, look for my book! This book and workbook set also makes a great Christmas present!!! There are two versions of the book available, black and white, and full color."

Okay, so a lot of people on the internet are interested in the Tarot........and a lot of people just don't understand it, it's shrouded in mystery and superstition..........

I have been using this tool for nearly all of my life and let me explain something about Tarot......it is not a dark tool, it does not open doorways that let demons come in.........it is not going to put a dark spot on your soul.....

The Tarot was developed based on the Archetypical Symbolism on the Human Condition.  It is basically a Soul's Journey through this lifetime, and although you can use The Tarot for divinatory purposes (predicting the likely future outcome) of a situation.......it is not written in stone.

The Tarot is best used for personal growth and self-development.

The Major Arcana contain the twenty-two Archetypical Images of the Soul's Journey through Life, they are seeped in symbolism........combining the symbolism of many, many other esoteric systems.  When you look at any ONE card, you are looking at a Qabbalic Meaning, a Numerology Meaning, an Astrological Meaning........the Colors need to be interpretted....there is so much DEPTH to any ONE card that study of the Tarot can last a lifetime.  (I know).

Let's explore the word ESOTERIC.  The Tarot is ESOTERIC as it was developed to have "hidden meanings", so that not everyone would or could understand the deck.  It was developed by monks, as a SPIRITUAL tool......and only these cloistered scholars knew the true meanings of the cards.  They were a politically charged issue and were hidden deep within the confines of our traditional religions.  They carry with them the "Lifeprint" of the Human Condition.

So, it came to be that the Tarot was surrounded by mystery and awe, hence, the title of my book "Uncloaking The Tarot".  My personal mission in life is to introduce the New Age to the General Public, and have the general population gain a better understanding of these arts.

My book was born when I got SOOOOO  Irritated with those old "Miss Cleo" commercials........she was such a psychic fraud, feeding psychic junkies all over the country, it made me sick.

So, I wrote my book in order to try to get people to truly understand what the cards are meant for.

The best and highest use of the cards is to use them for your own Spiritual Growth........how well are you learning the 78 Lessons of the Tarot as you pass through time, are you learning and growing, or are you repeating past mistakes over and over and over.

Fortunately for you, I have made just about every mistake known to womankind (and mankind) and have understood the Tarot well enough to limit my repetitions of the same mistakes, and I can help you understand yourself and your relationships better (with or without the use of Tarot).

Updated: November 2011.

After over a decade of professional reading, I pulled out the book "Uncloaking the Tarot" that I wrote ten years ago and EXTENSIVELY rewrote and revised it, as, you see, in the past decade, MY interpretations of the Tarot have grown and expanded as well.

I am currently finishing the final editing process of the book and expect to release it soon, hopefully before Thanksgiving, and I would like to strongly recommend to anyone, novice, intermediate, or professional level of reader, that they pick up a copy of this text to add to their own understanding of the tarot.

As stated, you never STOP seeing more and more messages in the Tarot, your interpretations can only expand if you continue to study.

I have also produced a Workbook Companion to help you to go through the cards one by one to build on your interpretations. The workbook contains a Tarot Journal as well, where you can record your readings, and follow up with what your actual results are, it is entitled "Uncloaking the Tarot Workbook Companion and Tarot Journal". This book is already available at Amazon and is beginning to populate bookstores now. The workbook can be used with ANY 78 card Tarot deck, although the text is written and illustrated with the Universal Waite Tarot, the deck I recommend for beginner and novice readers.

Using this book to interpret your cards and learn Tarot is just like having a professional reading by me. I do hope that readers of this blog will seek it out and add it to their New Age Libraries!
