    About this ebook

    This refreshingly contemporary take on Tarot is equal parts gorgeous art piece and thought-provoking spiritual touchstone. All 78 classic Tarot cards are represented, beautifully depicted in ethereal watercolors by Michelle Blade and eloquently explained in text by Jen Altman. The Circadian Tarot invites readers to start each day by reading a section at random (a technique known in the use of traditional Tarot decks as the single draw method"); the card thus revealed offers guidance for navigating hopes.

    INTRODUCTION

    WELCOME TO THE CIRCADIAN TAROT

    Creating a relationship with Tarot can be a richly rewarding endeavor. You do not have to subscribe to a particular faith or religion to learn from its enlightened messages. There are no set schedules of when you must practice, but the more you interact with Tarot, the more you will feel an impenetrable bond forging. Reading Tarot for yourself, and eventually perhaps others, will open your heart to fresh ways of viewing the world around you and your unique role within our universe. Tarot seeks to open your mind’s eye to the possibilities that now lie dormant at your fingertips and not only pushes you gently to question your outlook and life role, but also reminds you that the best version of yourself is waiting to break through the darkness.

    While the art of divination is as ancient as mankind’s desire to unfold the silent secrets of the future, Tarot cards date back only to the Italian Renaissance. Created originally as a game, they weren’t used as a tool of divination until the French occultist Jean-Baptiste Alliette, better known as Etteilla, published his work on the subject in 1791. Since that time, countless variations of Tarot have been produced, but none is more recognizable than the Rider-Waite deck, which was illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith and based on instructions and guidance from the mystic and author Edward Waite. For many of us, that deck was our first encounter with this magical practice.

    Each reader’s relationship to Tarot is unique. Hundreds of collections have been created so that readers can connect with Tarot based on their own desires and preferences. As such, the aesthetic and design must speak to you not only visually, but spiritually as well. We’ve reimagined Tarot as a book, both artful and divine. Unlike with a traditional deck, in this book the interpretations of each card lie at your fingertips, making the book itself unique within the world of Tarot. We hope that Michelle Blade’s gorgeous and sublimely surreal imagery found within the pages of this unusual deck speaks to you.

    HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

    The book you hold in your hands is a tribute to the art of Tarot. Tarot is an open-ended practice, and as such there is no one right way to use this book. However you peruse these pages, the messages of Tarot will help you to see your life in a new light.

    While there are countless approaches to reading Tarot cards, this book uses the single-draw method. With a traditional deck, you would shuffle the cards several times, cut them into three piles, and stack them together again to draw a single card from the top. This card can be used to either answer a question you held in your mind while shuffling (a question reading) or as an oracle to guide your day (an open reading). Much like a daily horoscope, a single-card reading can give you insight into what you can expect from your day, or thoughts and feelings to be mindful of.

    To read this book for your divination of the day, find a time when you
