Rider-Waite 100th Anniversary talk
At last the day arrived. Held at the Devereux Pub just around the corner from Temple in London, where so many esoteric talks have taken place. Mary Greer spoke eloquently on the spiritual and religious dimensions that Waite incorporated into his tarot deck, and interpreted by Pamela Coleman Smith.
Mary demonstrated how the Minor suits closely [...]
Thinking about the tarot talk tomorrow
Looking forward to meeting Mary Greer, Kim Arnold and everyone else at the 100th Anniversary of the Rider Waite tarot deck tomorrow afternoon. I am booked to speak, not so much on the RWS deck – there will be too many experts who know far more than me on the subject.

The Golden Dawn Enochian Skrying Tarot
First of all, this is not a tarot deck. Tarot decks have 78 cards: Major, Minor and Court cards.
