Tuscany is a kind of secret Tarot center. Hermann Haindl, who created The Haindl Tarot Deck Deck which I wrote about in The Kabbalah Tree: A Journey of Balance & Growth, has long had a house there, where I once celebrated New Year’s with him and his wife Erika. And Niki de St. Phalle‘s amazing Tarot sculpture garden is there. I visited the site twice while it was under construction, even spending a night in the Empress “card,” a Sphinx house, with the bedroom in the shoulder. Niki and I did a reading using the statues as the layout. It was quite something, literally walking through the actual spread!
