Dr Laity has been reading tarot for over four decades; she is also a scholar of tarot history with a particular interest in the hermeneutics of tarot practice — which is to say the ways in which traditions of tarot reading and meaning have innovated over time. Her research has included a broad range of subjects from tarot in film to ‘pataphysics to French tarotist Tchalaï Unger.

BOOKS

The Art of Drawing the Cards and The Tarot out now!

There’s nothing quite like this tarot book. The editors of this curious volume threw in every method they could find for reading and playing cards. Cartomancy in nineteenth century France was not a world without rules, but one with too many! Often they were at odds with each other. While one could read fortunes with regular decks, the true artists read the tarot. The majority of this book focuses on the arcane mysteries of the tarot deck as told by a renowned mistress of divination.

Or is she? You’ll have to read the book to find out. Order it online or pick it up from Treadwell’s in London or Star + Splendor in Altamont (NY).
