IN THIS ISSUE:

  I.   New Moon Tarotology -- September, 2011 ....Summer gave way to Fall on my riverbank in the most tender and sweet of hand-offs. I was not supposed to be home to experience it, being pledged to deliver the keynote speech at the Association of Tarot Studies conference in Ste. Suzanne, France last weekend.  But for reasons beyond my control, Nature and the Angels decided to leave me at home where I apparently belong. Because of that accident of fate, the presentation that was lovingly crafted for that event is soon to appear at this and other widely accessible locations.  So stay tuned, dear friends, it will all have been for a good end!..http://www.tarotarkletters.com/2011/09/newmoon-tarotlogy-and-the-continental-tarot.html

Summer gave way to Fall on my riverbank in the most tender and sweet of hand-offs. I was not supposed to be home to experience it, being pledged to deliver the keynote speech at the Association of Tarot Studies conference in Ste. Suzanne, France last weekend.  But for reasons beyond my control, Nature and the Angels decided to leave me at home where I apparently belong. Because of that accident of fate, the presentation that was lovingly crafted for that event is soon to appear at this and other widely accessible locations.  So stay tuned, dear friends, it will all have been for a good end!

We finally took delivery of our 1200 copies of Tarot of the Holy Light a few days ago, and it is a tremendous feeling for me to lay eyes on this pile of Tarot cards sitting in the middle of my living room!  Michael and I have been doing low-key mumbo-jumbo over the cards ever since -- nothing fancy, just spontaneous joy and excitement spilling over them in waves from seeing our dream come true.

Readers of this site, who know how I can go on and on, might be surprised at the brevity of the LWB, both in the individual card meanings, and in the introductory matter.  I too was shocked that the main message would fit down into such a small space!  One would think that, after a lifetime of practicing Tarot, I'd find more to talk about upon the introduction of the deck. But that's what Tarot ArkLetters is for, a place where I can bloviate freely. People who share my long-winded temperament can come here and lose themselves in all of my winding thoughts and associations, and I do.
