I recently received the following questions via private correspondence: I want to ask you some detailed questions about the Trumps & the hebrew letters if you don’t mind? Do the hebrew letters play any part in Tarot readings? Ok for example the Chariot is assigned Cheth/Fence well we know that a fence can keep people/things […]

The random tarot divination tool in the resources section has been updated to include images of the selected cards.

The Small Cards of the Tarot is now available on this web site in HTML format.
