IN THIS ISSUE:

I. New Moon Tarotology -- August, 2011 ....This is a celebratory month for me, because with this ArkLetter we announce the publication of the Tarot of the Holy Light, made in collaboration with my partner Michael Dowers. (The link to our new Tarot will be up shortly - in the meantime, sneakpeeks are in the images below!) ...I'm having so much fun with my very own Tarot deck because this frees me from having to make mental conversions for one or more classes of cards within the pack I'm playing with. This so often happens because very few packs these days follow the model that the early esotericists of the Tarot would have derived from the resources circulating in the early 1400's...http://www.tarotarkletters.com/2011/08/newmoon-tarotlogy-august-2011.html

USE THE TAROT ARKLETTERS TO ATTUNE WITH THE NEW MOON - read "N ew Moon Notes" every ArkLetter:

Our publication date and time corresponds to the New Moon each month. This month the Moon is conjunct the Sun on Sunday, August 28, 2011, 11:05 PM (EDT) / 8:05 P (PDT).. As an astrologer-symbolist, I habitually tie my activities to the cycle of the Moon. If you would like, you can use the Tarot University ArkLetters to help you track the moon's phase:
