BIO OF A TAROTIST

To answer a common question:

I started reading amateurishly in the mid to late 1980s. I began a more serious investigation, and worked with a Tarotist, in 1990-1992.

Then I read a lot of books, did a lot of readings, got a lot of different decks, and.... oh lordy.... got a job doing readings on a psychic phone line, where I lasted one week. (Note: I think you can give perfectly good readings via phone or online. Working there just sucked.) I wrote about oracles for online magazines, interviewed people like astrologer Rob Breszny and Paul O'Brien of the I Ching and Synchronicity online, and wrote cheezball horoscopes for various commercial entities and publications.

I proceeded to do Tarot only for friends.

I proceeded to attempt to forget what I'd learned in the books.

Burning Tarot has really charged me up with being a more consistent reader again, and more frequently giving readings to strangers. It's great shit. Thank you, wild people ov Burnland.

BURNING MAN 2009 REPORT

- Burning Tarot rawked! I'm really sorry if you tried to find us & couldn't get to the new location. We were part of the Rocketeers camp (facing "B" near 6:30) for Raygun Gothic Rocketship, which was hands-down the greatest B Man project I've ever had the honor to work on, even if my contribution was at best, ummmm, marginal. (Pictured left: the 9 of Express; photo Steve Fritz).

- Miss Magdalen's Tarot workshop brought in some 25 people to a tiny lil' Tarot hut. It was great to see you all. I especially love how these workshops combine experienced readers, most of us with somewhat differing opinions, with brand newbies. Thanks so much for participating.

- The musician Grey Anne often played hostess in the Tarot hut while I gave readings in the back. Apparently y'all had a good time while waiting: yay! She had the brilliant and bizarre idea of giving "Dino Readings" with plastic dinosaurs that happened to be in the Tarot hut. Look for her "Dino Tarot" readings around food cart pods in Portland; she has a really cool setup for it. (Pictured left: the 31 of Exist, photo Steven Fritz.)

- You guys were generous with the gifties yet again. Yum. Let's see, there were red wines, sangria, whiskeys of good quality, chocolates, a rubber ducky, a set of beautiful 

B Man 2009 earrings, and even a slab of smoked salmon. 

- And also, thank you for being patient, waiting in line, working with me on the New Agey pre-reading meditation stuff, and generally being a cool, open, generous group of Tarot querents. 

- Loves,

- magdalen/tiffany

OMG! WHERE IS IT???

Dear lovely people: I have made a giant, 160-image Tarot deck for you. I have invented the Double Tarot especially for you, including an 80-card brand-new Burning Man-only "deck." I have given you approximately 4,000 readings --- free --- in the last 6 weeks. Whine, whine, martyr, martyr, waah waah.

But dude. Give me a little leeway on posting the deck for your free downloading pleasure. I love that you care!! I really do. I love getting prods and questions in email. But, uh, like don't be accusatory about it, OK? Please? Thank you.

Oh, why are we waiting? Cuz Lena, who basically finished all the production and printing stuff on the deck, wanted a couple changes to it before we upload it. She is smart and she is correct; there are some flubs in that file. So! We must all wait for me & Lena to spruce it up a bit.

In the meantime, here's a sample. Photo by Steven Fritz. (Recognize the Hierophant? Hee Hee.)

Burning Tarot pictures, update

MANOR HOUSE in Portland: 

Burning Tarot is up & running at the Manor of Art. chekc out photographer Steven Fritz on Facebook to see some pix ... Come by if you're in Portland. 

You can browse the new deck in Room #310 during all opening hours, though to get the full effect ya gotta come when I'm there, because I'm an actual piece of the installation. (god, those performance artists.) i will definitely be on-site Sun 16th 3-6 pm, Wed 19th 4-7 pm, 1:30-4 pm Thurs 20th, and Fri the 21st 5-7 pm (warning, most of Friday's Tarot schedule is filled already)... and Sat the 22nd 3-5 pm, perhaps later. all slots on Sat the 23rd are filled already.

PLACEMENT OF BURNING TAROT AT BURNING MAN, 2009?

we'll have a small sign and a yellow hut full of red fabric stuff. Look around the perimeter of the Raygun Gothic Rocketship building crew camp, near 6:30 and "B." Despite what the B Man events calendar says, we're not in Hushville. sorry about that. Readings avail 1-3 pm Tues sept 1, 1-3 pm Thurs the 3rd, and 1-3 pm Sat the 5th --- plus whenever i feel up for it. 

ANOTHER WORKSHOP?

Tarot/Double Tarot workshop 4-5:30 pm Thurs, Sept 3rd, all levels welcome.

WHERE'S THE DECK???

Two prints of the deck exist. One is in the possession of Miss Magdalen of Mystical Mayhem; the other is owned by Steven Fritz, who shot most of the lovely photos in this 160-card deck. Eventually, e.g. when I get my shit together, I'll upload files to this site for free download. 

I WANNA SEE THE PIX!

See the facebook link above, come to the show, visit us at Burning Man, or look on the wooden fence around Center Camp Cafe -- we'll have a small installation there as well.
