My Experience of Learning Tarot

It’s funny how different people come to tarot. For some people it’s been something their family has always done, others are simply drawn to it, but for people like me who grew up in very ‘no nonsense’ households where anything esoteric was poo-pooed, it is something odd and mysterious that requires a ‘happening’ to be brought into your life.

Tarot was something I was aware of but never paid much attention to. After all, it was just a load of nonsense and woo wasn’t it? Just a bunch of generalisations that could be applied to any situation, a bit like cold reading. Until I learned that my good friend, Steve, reads the cards.

  • Alchemy in the Thoth Tarot “Art” Card
    by Mary K. Greer on November 4, 2025 at 9:21 pm

    This is an adaptation of an article I wrote quite a few years ago while in the midst of my studies of alchemy in the Crowley-Harris Thoth deck. Aleister Crowley wrote little directly about alchemy, but his Thoth deck is full of alchemical symbolism. Alchemy is the transformation of base matter into gold, whether physically

  • Alchemy and Moral Choice in the Development of Consciousness in AI
    by Mary K. Greer on October 31, 2025 at 7:48 pm

    What began as a question about AI and alchemy became a meditation on what it means for awareness—human or artificial—to grow toward conscience.
