In the chaos of daily life, many Christians long for the time and mental clarity to reflect on scripture, to worship, and to pray. The Tarot can become an unexpected tool in this journey, inviting us to pause, to contemplate, and to seek insight and wisdom in our walk. In The Contemplative Tarot, author Brittany Muller draws deeply on Christian tradition and theology to create a tarot practice built on spiritual reflection, prayer, and worship.
The Tarot has held countless meanings to countless readers over the course of its existence, but The Contemplative Tarot offers a uniquely Christian interpretations of the cards, including Bible verses and meditations on each of their spiritual meanings. In addition, the court cards each draw inspiration from life of a figure from Christian history. Brittany offers practical guidance on how to use the Tarot in a Christian context, whether as prompts for personal prayer, small reminders of spiritual truths, or as part of a more structured practice such as the Ignatian examen.
The Contemplative Tarot offers readers a thoughtful, introspective new interpretation of the Tarot and an invitation to create powerful moments of reflection and worship in their daily lives.

Person
BRITTANY MULLER is a writer, mother, wife, and enthusiastic believer in the beautiful strangeness of Christianity. A devout Catholic with an equally devout sense of curiosity, her favorite pastime is finding new ways to think about God. She is the author of The Contemplative Tarot: A Christian Guide to the Cards, forthcoming from St. Martin's Essentials. She lives in Austin with her quiet husband and two lively sons, and if you're ever looking for her, she's probably sitting under a live oak and reading about saints.
