"If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."~Isaac Newton For many of us, myself included, Rachel Pollack and her work were our entries into the mysteries and secrets and delights of tarot. She is like a fairy godmother and her work, blessings and gifts. Her most recent work, The New Tarot Handbook, is another beautiful gift to us and it is also, for her, an homage to the woman she considers the Mother of Modern Tarot: Eden Gray. Some of us may not be familiar with Gray's work or may write them off as "cookbooks" (some people call books of card interpretations "cookbooks" and attach a derogatory meaning to it, although I'm not sure why). What makes ...

"I was taken from myself and I was as spirit, and I knew the acts of peoples past and could predict the future. I knew the secrets of things, of bird flight and the wondering motions of stars, and the way by which fish glide."-Vita Merlini The above verse taken from the enigmatic conversation between Merlin the magician and the prophet Taliesin is a bold statement of an individual’s ability to utilise the powers of magic. The impressive claims of knowing the wanderings of stars and the manner by which fish glide, to know the future and the past, is clearly indicative of the magician’s adeptness. However, it is the first few words that inform us how the magician is able to ...
