Two Years in the Tarot: Portrait of the Artist as a Young Fortuneteller For those that expected another insipid self-angrandizing hippy dippy new age yuppie prosaic read. Surprize! This is the real deal. A window into the collective unconscious with a fortunate twist and fresh face. In ordeal of innocence and mastery laid out with humor and insight logic and (secret) harmony suggesting perhaps that the real purpose of the oracular voice is not merely to indicate a certain outcome but to grab our issues by the ear and transform our lives. True to her muse the fluid lucidity and poetic simplicity of Jane's commentary captures perfectly the almost musical magic of each card. Regarding the "Traditional"i nterpretation of the imagery, while the underlying archetypal meaning of the major arcarna and different suits is retained in a technical sense, the form is altered to express the living individual context (or fate).A phantasmagorical trek through the deck that literally left me shaking with pleasure. Both an art book and an intimate testament of one who has truly "been there" and back again.~Jerry Ferraz
