It processes patterns and information, as well as formulates thoughts and words.”
― Mat Auryn, The Psychic Art of Tarot: Opening Your Inner Eye for More Insightful Readings

― Mat Auryn, The Psychic Art of Tarot: Opening Your Inner Eye for More Insightful Readings

“I purchased many books, including those by Mary K. Greer, Starhawk, and Rachel Pollack. I consider these women, whom I’ve never met, to be my teachers.

I hand drew the cards and got to know some of the many sides of myself through the story of the major arcana.”
― Rachel True, The Psychic Art of Tarot: Opening Your Inner Eye for More Insightful Readings
