For me, my interest in the Tarot Cards has a lot to do with the art work and the designs.

One of the first things an artist must learn is composition, color and design while also learning to paint. The design is 50% of the work, the rest (the painting) is simply skill in handling a paint brush and applying color in the right places.

While my friend and business partner Darla is finishing up the last of the designs for our deck, soon to be released, I have been playing around my own designs which I intend to use for on-line readings and to show people how to print and laminate their own tarot deck at home.

I just finished one that will be my "Temperance." This design was put together from two old master's works in paint shop pro. I intend to paint this one.

It will be called: "Love Potion" (Or maybe Love potion number nine?)

That's wonderful Gloria Jean.

Humanity is begining to recognize the value of pagan spirituality in its various forms. And thus Tarot is being understood in far deeper and more meaningful ways by greater multitudes of people. The time is ripe to move forward with a more serious tarot imagery.

You are doing humanity a great service and I'm sure that your tarot artwork will have a positive impact on the lives of many individuals throughout the new millenium and beyond.

Thanks Abra. I'm very excited about the up coming tarot project we are working on. I am going to take my queen of coins dot come website and redesign it to be all about tarot. Right now it has stuff on it about the Law of Attraction, and dating etc. I will be taking all of that stuff off.

The sight will have a complete tarot deck with two sets of major arcana designs posted that I will use to link to when I do readings on line. I plan to set up a chat room for live readings and maybe even a tarot card forum.

Then I am going to give away pdf files that can be printed and laminated for people to make their own tarot cards from and instructions on how to do that. All this stuff will be free.

I will have a place for people to opt in for my email list who are interested in knowing when our final printed deck will be released and available for sale. I am going to promote it as "The perfect deck."

That way, when we are ready to start selling our deck, we will have a list of people standing in line to purchase it from the first printing.
