Where “Lightworking” Came From

June 9, 2008

The person who foisted the idea of the “lightworker” on EuroAmerican civilization is this lady:

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, often called simply HPB, and possibly the most influential charlatan in history, if we don’t count Rasputin. (more…)

I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised by this

May 6, 2008

wandering through Narnes and Boble I saw this (or more precisely, the book sans card set). I guess it was bound to happen. The artwork is not outstanding, but it would work well in a Narnes and Boble edition of Miss Jane Austen’s works. As a curiousity, it is fine, but I don’t think explaining to a client that I see the King of Teacups quickly approaching in her future, or that the Nine of Quills does not bode well, or congratulating her on the appearance of the Ace of Candlesticks, has quite the frisson necessary.

A quick check of Amazon does not reveal a Harry Potter tarot. I will presume that Ms. Rowling gets the credit for that. (Although there is a Lord of the Rings Tarot.)

Myself I will stick to to the Beast I know.
