Barbara Moore

The tarot has been a part of Barbara Moore’s personal and professional lives for over a decade. In college, the tarot intrigued her with its marvelous blending of mythology, psychology, art, and history. Later, she served as the tarot specialist for Llewellyn Publications. Over the years, she has been active in the American Tarot Association and has spoken at tarot conferences around the United States. Barbara’s articles on the tarot have appeared in several tarot publications and in Llewellyn Publications New Worlds of Mind and Spirit magazine. She has also sat on the Tarot Journal editorial board. Barbara’s own education in the tarot has been and continues to be broad and enlightening. She has studied under renowned tarot scholars Mary K. Greer and Rachel Pollack, and she has taught the tarot to all manner of would-be tarot readers.

Barbara enjoys the challenge of giving a voice to tarot cards and oracle decks. She has had the good fortune to write books for several decks, including A Guide to Mystic Faerie Tarot, The Gilded Tarot Companion, The Hip Witch Tarot, Enchanted Oracle and The Mystic Dreamer Tarot.

Some Oldies but Goodies

In January, I spend some time reviewing the past year. In reviewing my blog posts for Llewellyn, I went back a little further. I’ve been writing for Llewellyn for a long time. Sometimes it makes me a little sad that blog posts are so transitory even though there is so much great content in them. [...]

Spreads

I recently wrote a book about tarot spreads. It will be available in April. In it, I make what I think is a really good case for the importance of the design in which the cards are laid out on the table. That is, are they in a vertical line, a horizontal line, a square, [...]

Tarot of the Silicon Dawn

The Tarot of the Silicon Dawn is one of my favorite decks from 2011. It is completely innovative, utterly challenging, and delightfully frustrating. Decks like this are what keep tarot fresh and inspire us to constantly grow and explore. The Tarot of the Silicon Dawn is complex. It is surprising. It is unique…and so much [...]

The Death Card

Tarot readers spend a lot of energy explaining that “Death doesn’t actually mean physical death, mostly; it usually means transformation.” And of course, I agree with that. And yet, I don’t completely agree with it. It strikes me as ironic that we are so afraid to predict death when, in truth, it is the only [...]
