Hi Mary. I was thrilled to find your blog as your book Tarot For Yourself was the first book I read on the subject and was a huge influence on my philosophy and style of reading. I think you’re fabulous and your blog is lovely. Thank you for all that you do and for being out here where we can tell you how much we love you!

Check out articles by Marlene Dobkin de Rios. An article she wrote back in the 1970s for Americas Journal on card divination in South America. It was very influential for me in understanding the role of divination among poor and disenfranchised peoples. You’ll find a picture of her reading tarot cards under “Fieldwork”.

You’ll also find useful scholarly material on tarot by Inna Semetsky. Check out the links at:

I was so delighted to stumble onto your site this morning. I have used your books over the years and now my granddaughter expresses interest in the Tarot and you were one of the first to come to mind.
Thank you so much for this site and the encouragement. as I approach “retirement” I am planing to dive deeply into Tarot.

clymela – I’m sure you are going to enjoy your tarot journey. I recommend seeing if there are any tarot events or groups (check Meet-up.com) in your area. Tarot people, in person, are about as friendly as you can get — though they like to argue as much as the next group on some of on-line lists.

Very glad to find your blog! I have used Tarot for Your Self for years & years as my main tarot reference. Thank you so much for it! A question: Is the 2002 edition a straight reprint, or is it revised, & if so, by how much?

Indigo –
The 2002 edition of Tarot for Your Self is revised. Most of the earlier text is the still there with minor corrections and clarifications. I expanded the interpretations for the Minor Arcana and added short reversed card meanings for all 78 cards. The history appendix is completely new as is the introduction. I also added information on the Shadow/Teacher cards as found in Tarot Constellations. I updated the bibliography, citing newer works that add insights to the original materials. Except for the history appendix and the Shadow card information there’s nothing new that would make a core difference in the book. Thanks for asking about this.
