There’s no way around the Tree of Life when it comes to understanding the Rider Waite Smith deck and that includes the astrology, numerology and Golden Dawn’s esoteric secrets that come along with it. You can’t examine the Golden Dawn without understanding Freemasonry and its influence. Everything is explained in simple, understandable terms.

78 Spreads are included ~ you know I love spreads, ha! Each spread is built around a specific card. Questions and themes come from each card.

Writing this book was a life changing experience, like no other. The historical research at the New York Public Library and London, leafing through Pamela’s original artworks and colorings, holding Bram Stoker’s letters in my own hands along with YB Yeats’ own letters and pamphlets, the deeply spiritual river coursing through Waite’s words all made for an extraordinary journey!
