In my last blog post, I was intrigued by the Departures Tarot Kickstarter campaign by Nick Jacobs.

I’m absolutely thrilled that Nick has taken time…

For many, the allure of tarot lies in its novelty and mass media’s portrayal of it as a tool of witchcraft and magic. For some of us, it’s the promise of self-discovery that draws us in.
