PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Scott Martin began pursuing his fascination with Tarot after retiring from teaching theater arts on the high school and college levels over a period of 48 years. He is the author of an award-winning book on Tarot and has facilitated a number of Tarot workshops in various venues in and around the New York City area.
"Highly recommended by tarot giants like: Mary Greer (who wrote the Foreword), Rachel Pollack, Robert Place, Carrie Parris, and Sasha Graham.Loved the exploration of how artist Pamela Coleman Smith's knowledge of the stage and background in theater informed her illustration of her RWS images. I especially appreciated that the author included Smith's own article entitled ""Should the Art Student Think?"" in the back of his book to corroborate his thesis that ""...her inspiration as an artist came from her experience in the theater, her knowledge of theatrical staging, and the actor's instrument."" There is literally a ton of information in this. I've read it cover to cover, and I'll be going back to copy bits and pieces into my journal, and keeping it nearby to refer to. I started tarot a few years ago thinking I could learn it all. Every time I pick up a book like this I'm reminded that there are so many layers and points of view and new facts that I will never learn it all; there'll always be something new to discover."
