Re: The Charles Dickens Tarot deck & companion book

I have found that the smaller, situational scenarios of the Minor Arcana appear in literature quite frequently, essentially because they occur in real life quite frequently. In a way you could say this is why literature and the tarot are both so effective, and transcend the time they were created - ...

Re: The Charles Dickens Tarot deck & companion book

thanks for the thoughtful words, Nemia. The cards and characters are not just matched up in some arbitrary or schematic way, but rather they found their positions after a lot of thought on the matter.
