Book, Deck, Movie and Event Reviews

I’ve always had an interest in tarot art and tradition. I enjoy the opportunity to review tarot decks, oracle decks and books.

For many years, I taught my “Important Tarot Deck” series, where I would study a particular tarot deck in depth, and develop ways to use it in professional readings. Then, I would write study materials for the deck, and present the deck, and my discoveries about it, in a class. The card introductions on this site come from those tarot deck classes.

The tarot deck previews were first published in Tarot World Magazine, where my career as a tarot reviewer got started.

If you would like to read my restaurant and pop culture reviews, find them on my Dark Forest Blog.
