This month, author and tarot deck creator Charles Harrington joined me to discuss The Oracle Glass by Judith Merkle Riley. There’s a lot of ground to cover with a book this expansive, but we hit on what fiction gets right and wrong about reading the future, thoughts on identity and persona, and lots and lots of asides on tarot and the history of the occult.
Charles’s latest book is Tarot and Oracle Card Reading for Dummies and is available wherever books are sold. He has developed and written guide books for several tarot and oracle decks including the The Odyssey Oracle, The Tarot of the Vampires, The Murder of Crows Tarot, available at bookstores and fine occult shops everywhere.
Next month, Katta Kis (Love in the Liner Notes, Love at the Rock Show) will be joining me to talk about Anton LaVey’s 1971 book The Compleat Witch, republished as The Satanic Witch in 1988. The original is a rare book collectible with a price tag to match, but the reprint is widely available used and as an ebook.
