My journey through the Forest of Enchantment began early in 2015, when the Llewellyn Art Department suggested that, as I had been illustrating books for Llewellyn for some years, I might like to work on a full tarot deck of 78 paintings. Many years ago, I spent time with the Motherpeace Tarot and the Thoth Tarot (painted by Lady Frieda Harris), and I have always admired the artistry of the cards, but I wouldn't consider myself to be at all fluent in the language of tarot.

How many of us realize that our tarot decks are a fast, fun, and flexible tool that can help us make better decisions, be more creative, and achieve our goals? I bet most have. But I bet most of us haven't used some of the incredibly effective techniques of Mark McElroy, author of What's in the Cards for You? and Putting the Tarot to Work. Here is an excerpt with one of Mark's brainstorming techniques: What to DoFrom any Tarot deck, remove the Fool and the twenty-one trumps. Put these cards in order from zero (the Fool) to twenty-one (the World), and arrange them on a table so you can see each one.
