In September 2014, I was diagnosed with stage three cancer, and by the time I was done with two major surgeries and four rounds of intense chemo, my brain was fried. I couldn’t concentrate, and I was full of fog if I tried. I was starting to work part-time and couldn’t do much before feeling […]

In my last blog, I explain why I am doing a tarot deck and that I have also written a book about the cards. I also go over the more technical details of the Fool card and some of its meaning. The Fool is the central character of the Infinite Tarot deck as he goes […]
