Tarot is everywhere. From spiritual practices to games, films and other media, this enigmatic deck of cards has captured the imagination of many. For even those already familiar with Tarot, there is much to explore and review as new works are created, and I happily find myself with a vast subject matter. If you’re wondering what is behind the use of Tarot, this short pamphlet is for you.
We will discuss some of the most compelling intersections of Tarot today: AI, games, and Tarot as a heretical practice. The approach I take to Tarot is to go beyond the surface level and to consider how and why it works (indeed if it does) and what impact Tarot has on the world.
I offer this free ebook pamphlet to my readers as a thank you. It is intended to complement my book A Critical Introduction to Tarot, in which I started this research. In this pamphlet, we will continue the exploration of this interesting terrain. I hope you enjoy this new work and that it prompts you to think deeply and critically about Tarot and its practice.
