Tarot reader and card creator Case Kūjaku asked the same 7 question to 4 contemporary card creators: Ciro Marchetti, Doug Thornsjo, Gary Shook and Attila Blága.
Case has been into reading cards since the late 1970s, before mobile phones and the internet, back when people left their doors unlocked and wore horrible clothes. He started out reading playing cards because in those days in New Zealand it was pretty difficult to find tarot cards, plus his mother thought they were stupid and would have just thrown them out anyway.
When he went to university in the early 90s, Case got into tarot through getting interested in psychology and reading stuff by a human called Carl Jung and another human called Joseph Campbell. He was also really into the occult, and doing lots of silly dances and reading books and stuff. Read more 4 card creators, 7 questions, 7 answers

About Benebell Wen you should know that she is the author of the book “Holistic Tarot.” The article entitled “What Does it Cost to Self-Publish a Tarot Deck?” bring up exclusively the cost issues of this process.

Recently I had a very pleasant conversation with one of my virtual friends regarding the correct ordering of The Fool among the cards of the Major Arcana.
My interlocutor seemed surprised when I said that The Fool does not belong to the beginning of the Tarot deck and actually, he was not placed there until very recent times.
As many other Tarot readers, he thought that according to the Golden Dawn system The Fool, numbered zero, is the very first card placed before The Magician, the card which is traditionally numbered one. Read more The journey of The Fool
