Version 19.12 Note: This bibliography is closer to
being “working notes” than a public presentation. For
now, it's simply offered for whatever use it serves, and
to solicit recommendations. Be advised that there's much
material of little value here, mixed in with more
meritorious offerings, and also be aware that reviews on
sites like Amazon are most often done by the uninformed.
Listed below are my hard copy resources. Many hundreds
of digital files, books, and articles are not included. |

Tarot The A and B-list books are all worth
acquiring, despite any critical comments that I've made.
The C list, not so much. A C-listing doesn't always mean
that a book is junk, but it usually means that it's not
a great choice for a reliable foundation stone, and
limited resources will be better spent elsewhere. It can
still be explored, and in fact, some of our best
insights can come from reactions like "No, you fool, you
should have said this instead ..." The A list is
generally reserved for extremely influential works or
works of scholarly rigor. Unfortunately, nearly all
authors have the same unoriginal approach to the 56
"minor" cards, riffing or free-associating from the
Smith-Rider-Waite deck and frequently misinterpreting
the image. Few seem to understand why Smith's images
were drawn the way they were, how the meaning of numbers
and court combine with the meaning of suits, or that the
original artist was capable of conceptual limitation and
error as well, despite her remarkable work overall.
Waite himself also made a few major conceptual errors in
his grasp of the Trumps, and these have carried into
many otherwise reliable books. Most of the online
references I'm using are given elsewhere in

the deck designed by Pamela

grasp of the Minor
