Articles, Reviews, and Essays
Can you tell that I am passionate in my love for the Tarot? Besides being a full-time, professional reader, I have written many articles about the Tarot. These are a few of them, listed from the most recent, to older pieces. I hope that they will give you some perspective about how I understand and use the Tarot.
But it is especially my wish that they can give you a glimpse of how it can be a profound tool for your enlightenment.
So please be welcome, browse around, and enjoy!

Articles published in Innerchange Magazine
My article on The Year of the Empress is in the Winter 2010 issue of Innerchange Magazine. You can download it from their Main Page, or else pick up a copy at many locations throughout North Carolina and Virginia.
In addition, in the PDF archive for Oct/Nov/Dec, 2008, you can read my articles comparing the two 2008 Presidential candidates, Barack Obama and John McCain, based on their Tarot profiles.
Plus, my series of older articles published by Innerchange Magazine has been combined into one PDF file that can be safely and easily downloaded.
These articles include my series about Tarot Personality Profiles and The Fool’s Journey. They offer an overview of the “Great Journey” as depicted by the Major Arcana of the Tarot, and how to understand that metaphor on a more personal level by working with your own Tarot Birthday Profile.
I have restored Part One here, so you can have an idea of what the series covers.
