Coincidence, Synchronicity, and the Brain

One morning, your order at Starbucks comes to $4.45. Then, you notice that your next appointment happens to be at 445 Oswald Street. There, your client tells you there's been a 44.5% increase in web traffic since last year. Later, you get a cell phone call -- from area code 445. It's actually your partner, who tells you to remember to pick up the kids at ... 4:45 PM.

What's up with all those 4-4-5's? To find out more, read on!

Record-Setting Auction Win is Great News for TarotTools.com Readers!

Recently, Tarot collectors watched breathlessly as a record-setting auction of more than 200 Tarot decks closed for $3555.00. I'm delighted to announce that my partner, Clyde, and I were the winners!

So ... what do you do with more than 200 decks, some of which are extremely rare? I'm adding five of them to my personal collection ... but I'm also happy to announce that Clyde and I will sell the rest at Amazon.com (for fixed prices) and eBay (via auctions).

Soon, I'll post a comprehensive list of the decks -- and where you can go to browse and buy them -- right here on TarotTools.com. Until then, I invite you to read the "Big Pile o Decks" FAQ, provided, for your convenience, at the end of this post. Enjoy!

ATA, Aeclectic Tarot Highly Recommend Absolute Beginner's Guide to Tarot

Two great reviews of The Absolute Beginner's Guide to Tarot just came out!

In Reflections, the official newsletter of the American Tarot Association, Sandra Thomson says, "If you are a beginner in the Tarot world, this is a book that is so clearly written you probably cannot live without it ... If you are somewhere beyond being a beginner, you likely will want to own this book as a reference or a reminder ... McElroy is one of the most creative and versatile of contemporary writers on the Tarot." (See the full review here.)

At Aeclectic Tarot, Solandia writes, "The Absolute Beginner's Guide to Tarot is the ultimate guide for the newcomer to Tarot ... [This book is] extremely straightforward and approachable, clear, logical, and inclusive. Regardless of whether you’re a complete skeptic, or naturally intuitive and spiritually inclined, this is the perfect step-by-step introductory guide and reference manual for literally anyone." (See the full review here.)

I worked very hard to make The Absolute Beginner's Guide to Tarot as approachable, even-handed, and complete as possible. If you've picked up a copy from Amazon.com or your local bookstore, I'd love to hear what you think!
