![]() ![]() My family's conversion to the Catholic faith was a profound spiritual turning point in my life. This spiritual restlessness continued until my family made an abrupt conversion to Catholicism when I was 13 years old. As a kid, I spent time in Presbyterian, Methodist, and Southern Baptist churches. My family often moved around, and nearly every time we moved to a new town we also moved to a new denomination. I grew up in a Christian home, but it wasn't a particularly settled sort of Christianity. Tarot changed my life, but I have a different story to tell. ![]() ![]() But I have found a power in it that has nothing to do with popular culture's depictions of tarot as a divinatory device or source of occult wisdom. If I ask you what comes to mind when you think about tarot, there are a number of clichés you could conjure up: secret societies steeped in mystery seedy psychic shops in strip malls of small towns with neon signs flashing "fortune teller" teenagers slinging cards in their bedrooms and trying to figure out who they'll marry someday an old woman draped in shawls and smelling of incense, promising you that good fortune is just around the corner. ![]()
