“If someone were trying to trap me,” writes Meg Elison in her review of the exhibit, “one of the surest ways would be to put up a sign to say there’s a show focused on tarot inside this building, this cardboard box, this tiger pit. This thing is a Witch magnet.”
What surprises me is that I have this many decks. Somehow tarot has still worked its way into the fabric of my Witchcraft, and I can’t deny how much value these decks have brought to my magickal life – whether as tools, as sources of inspiration, or as objects I have infused with sentimental power.
