What's New and Happening in the Tarot Workshop...
Last Update: December 1st 2011
* New *
I am organizing a 14 day Tarot Art & History Tour
of Italy along with friends at the Tarot Museum!
It will take place: September 23rd - October
6th 2012
The tour outline is posted
here
We conducted our first Tarot trip in the autumn of 2011.
Here is a
little video of our magical mystery tour!
A
high resolution version
or if you prefer; a faster version which is a
lower resolution.
I made a
Family Court Card Deck
using Tarot de Marseille as a template. Please check it out, it was a fun project!
U.S. Games published Transformational Tarot and we made a
page
where each card & description is viewable. I think they
did a great job with it and I'm thrilled that its finally published by them, which
was a long held dream. If you want a signed or personally inscribed copy,
we offer it with free shipping within the U.S.
Take a peak at Leslie's
Dreamythology Tarot
and my sister deck,
Lucky Pack Tarot.
All cards & descriptions available to view, or order numbered, signed sets.
The
Hero's Journey Tarot Set,
which I have been handcrafting for over 15 years, sports a
new art box! Each one is a signed, original design.
There are also smaller art boxes in a similar style but with various Tarot themes also available on
the main
art page.
Museo Dei Tarocchi
asked me to host a collaborative deck with 22 of my favorite
U.S. artists and that project,
'LiteraTarot America'
is such a beautiful deck!
If you want to order or see it, here are
thumbnail images
that lead to 22 larger cards and descriptions.
We visited the Tarot Museum in Bologna, and our dear friend Osvaldo Menegazzi of
Il Menegello
in Milan,
Autumn, 2007. Here is a short
write-up
of that amazing adventure.
Please check out this
mini website
I've created to showcase the Tarot museum - details on their Limited Edition
Tarot decks, esoteric tours, etc.

James Ricklef interviewed me
regarding Transformational Tarot

wonderful women from BATS (Anastasia & Rose Red from

I think it went pretty well, considering I was nervous but they did a great job
making me feel comfortable. Its available as a podcast on iTunes.
