IN THIS ISSUE:

   I.   New Moon Tarotology -- October, 2011 .Wowee! Talk about the witching hour!  This Scorpio NewMoon before Halloween is showing some edge this year.  In my location, the NewMoon peaks right at the midheaven, and Pluto sits on the Ascendant. X-ray specs, anyone? In other places the orientation will of course be different, but with Jupiter opposing the Sun bundle from Taurus no matter where one lives, we should all be feeling a little bit "haunted" right now.  The sense of being stretched across widely diverging extremes is palpable. Lucky for us, we have the secret weapon of Tarot, so we can open up the issues beyond their either/or appearances...http://www.tarotarkletters.com/2011/10/new-moon-tarotology-report-october-2011.html

II.    Order our new Tarot of the Holy Light Deck ...You can order our new Deck at http://www.tarotuniversity.com!

III. FEATURED NEWS...Bonnie Cehovet and Stefan Laluna have given us very kind reviews at their blogs and at Aeclectic Tarot, and also a thread has been launched at Aeclectic to talk about the deck.

Wowee! Talk about the witching hour!  This Scorpio NewMoon before Halloween is showing some edge this year.  In my location, the NewMoon peaks right at the midheaven, and Pluto sits on the Ascendant. X-ray specs, anyone? In other places the orientation will of course be different, but with Jupiter opposing the Sun bundle from Taurus no matter where one lives, we should all be feeling a little bit "haunted" right now.  The sense of being stretched across widely diverging extremes is palpable. Lucky for us, we have the secret weapon of Tarot, so we can open up the issues beyond their either/or appearances.

But first let me give a little newsflash:  Responses to the Tarot of the Holy Light have been truly gratifying, in regards to both sales and reviews. We are still somewhat of a 'best kept secret', but it seems that mouth to ear is the auspicious advertising method of the moment. 

Bonnie Cehovet and Stefan Laluna have given us very kind reviews at their blogs and at Aeclectic Tarot, and also a thread has been launched at Aeclectic to talk about the deck.

STEFAN LALUNA

Here's Stefan Laluna's blog review: http://mr-laluna.blogspot.com/2011/10/tarot-of-holy-light-by-christine-payne.html  Laluna has suggested that Tarot University’s old Yahoo group be revived as a locale for a community to form, and I'm all for that. So, bit-by-bit, we trickle out into the virtual world of Tarot...

 

ON THE CONTINENTAL ORDER OF TAROT

Allow me also to explain a few things for those who have this pack in their hands and are wondering what they are looking at. I'm also addressing those who are still wondering whether they could use The Tarot of the Holy Light the way they do their other Tarots. It is clear from the conversation at Aeclectic that some people are concerned that the Continental correspondences might be too foreign for them to grasp and use adequately. The full book is not out yet, but we have included enough details to the faces of the cards to stir up curiosity about the paradigm we are working in. So let's kick the tires for a minute and pore over the details of this little rig!
