Description
Tarot cards have been used to foretell the future for centuries. Once the domain of the esoteric and mystical, tarot today has many practical applications in the modern world. Jane Stern, a fourth generation tarot reader perhaps best known for Roadfood, has given the art of the tarot a very modern spin. Using the twenty-two major arcana cards (the "heart of the tarot") as chapters, she has gleaned all she has learned over the years and presents Confessions of a Tarot Reader as a witty, readable, and useful self-help book. In her own words, the author likes to think of herself as a "psychic Dear Abby," and by drawing on the wisdom of the tarot deck, to give practical advice in every life situation and lift the veil between this world and the unseen beyond.
Reviews / Votes
"[A]n insightful how-to guide that reaches far beyond simple directions for reading tarot cards... [Jane] Stern chronicles the ways in which past readings have served as a launching point for journeys of self-discovery-for both herself and her clients... Weaving anecdotes from her 40 years' experience tangling with the occult, including particularly memorable readings she's performed for herself, Stern provides a delightful take on a practice too often derided as scam or mere superstition."-Kirkus ReviewsMore details
