Wordsmithing Magic from the Crossroads

My Tarot Book

March, 2026:

Fully absorbed.

Quitting considered.

Feedback processed.

Wounds licked.

Reflection distilled.

Course corrections now under way.

I am once again energized and committed to make this happen. So I’m back at it, equipped with more clarity and discernment.

I’ll keep you posted.

Thanks for any and all of your encouragement. It really is precious fuel in difficult times.

The Backstory

Once upon a time …

When I started my blog in 2003, I wanted to initiate conversations on a wide-ranging platform of magical topics. But I also knew that I would focus on my true love, the Tarot.

So I began pulling one card every Monday morning, and then writing about it, for whoever happened across my site. No other layout cards, just a card a week.

Thus, my Card of the Week began. I’ve now written almost 2,000 of these weekly analyses.

Over the years, my clients, students, site visitors, colleagues, and friends asked, nudged, urged, and finally prevailed upon me to consolidate all my posts into an organized reference book. Because, they keep telling me, no one else talks about the Tarot like I do. It took many more years, and many hundreds of students, to begin to understand what they meant.

I believe I finally do, and it is the central theme of my book.

Meantime, I will continue to post one card a week, but no longer keep an ongoing archive, since that’s what my book will be. Makes sense, right?

And after that?

Stay tuned for news and updates along the way!

If we do not lay out
ourselves in the service of
mankind, whom
should we serve?
