The January 2013 issue of Attune Magazine for Tarot readers who know more than the basics, is out, and it looks very good. I only came across it via an invite from the editor Mary Nale on Google+. Tarot magazines have a checkered history, for despite the popularity of tarot, no dedicated publication has prospered. [...]

The key to understanding this is Kenneth Grant’s book Outside the Circles of Time.

Tarot Facebook group worth joining?

Paul Hughes-Barlow — Sun, 17 Jun 2012 19:34:22 +0000

On a regular basis I find myself ‘joined’ to yet another FB group on Tarot. It happened recently, and for a change, I am actually enjoying, and more significantly, contributing. What is gratifying to see is that people are waking up to the fact that there is far more to Tarot than many of the [...]
