The modern Tarot was established when Rider & Co. commissioned and later published the Arthur Waite/Pamela Smith deck in the early part of the twentieth century. It was a pioneering from two distinguished people. Shortly into the twenty-first century, Llewellyn commissioned Anna-Marie Ferguson to undertake a new deck based entirely on her own deep knowledge, both of the Tarot and her extensive research into the prime mythical foundations of the Western psyche. Born in Britain and raised in Canada, her own initiatory experiences have shaped both her art and her psyche. Her primary source for this deck was the living Celtic tradition ...

However, aside from a few storybooks, there was little to feed my imagination, as fantasy toy products were almost non-existent back then (in the sixties). Now things have changed, with Dungeons and Dragons-type action figures as well as plastic swords and armor aimed at little boys, and fairy and mermaid Barbies, plus glittery gowns, fairy wands, and tiaras for girls. (In fact, at the moment of this writing, some of the neighbor kids who are invading my yard are wearing long gowns and tiaras.) These fantasies are further indulged when parents throw "princess parties." The little guests come dressed as princes or princesses, or ...
