I have had an interest in reading the cards and telling the future for 35 years. There was an old commercial in the 80's for a series of books about the secrets of the unknown. "The Hanged Man dangling from a gallows was the sign of life in suspension; while the Death card indicated change." That delightfully creepy phrase stuck in my mind over the years and I always knew that I was going to read cards. At age 22 I was given my first tarot deck as a gift, and I have been reading and studying the cards ever since.
