Quote:

Spend an hour with Tarot author, artist, and futurist James Wanless, Ph.D., as he discusses the philosophy and uses of the Tarot, updated and freshly relevant for its users in the 21st century. Dr. Wanless addresses various topics about Tarot - fortune creation Tarot to manifest your dreams; Tarot as a daily practice for self-awareness; and working with others using Tarot as a coaching and educational tool.

The Tarot orginated in Europe in the late medieval and early renaissance periods, when life for the average person was less complex and more predictable than in our current society. How can this antique system of imagery be adapted to the circumstances and complexity of life in the 21st century? Dr. Wanless inspires, entertains, and enlightens as he answers this and a variety of other questions about Tarot.

The DVD features an interview with Dr. Wanless hosted by Anastasia Haysler, highlighted with material from Dr. Wanless' workshop at the World Tarot Day celebration presented by Tarot-To-Go in San Francisco, California on May 26, 2007.

James Wanless, Ph.D., is a pioneer of new thinking recognized for weaving ageless wisdom into modern life with intuitive tools and symbolic systems. Known as Captain Pick-A-Card, Dr. Wanless has performed thousands of Readings over a 28 year span throughout the world. He has transformed "fortune telling" readings into a coaching style of consultation known as "fortune creation."

Dr. Wanless is the creator of the best-selling modern classic Voyager Tarot Intuition Cards for the 21st Century, the author of Way of the Great Oracle for designing the future, Strategic Intuition for the 21st Century, and Intuition@Work. He has also authored New Age Tarot and an anthology entitled Wheel of Tarot: A New Revolution. His correspondence course, StarTree, is now published as an online course entitled Way Of The Seeker.

=======================

This is a good introduction to using Tarot for yourself, but doesn't tap into the "Ageless Wisdom", or occult teachings symbolized by the cards. I hate to say it, but it's a bit New-Agey, and skips over the esoteric side. However, it's a good way to see how Tarot can be used to get in touch with your intuition. After all Carl Jung said that it's all about getting in touch with the intuition.

I'm a bit hesitant to upload this here, but I'm doing it because of the massive interest in my last post from Lon Milo Duquette on Tarot, Kabbalah & Oracles.
