Acknowledgments

I want to acknowledge here my amazing agent, Annie Wilder, who was able to see that what I do with tarot is revolutionary and unique and who decided that my work should become this book. Thank you, Annie, from the bottom of my heart.

And I would be remiss if I didnt applaud the downright courage of Llewellyn, my publisher, and Barbara Moore, acquisitions editor, for finding and bringing this work to you.

Finally, thank you, Andrea Neff, Llewellyn production editor, for your scrupulous editorial eye. I am grateful.

Disclaimers

When It Comes to Health and Healing

This book is not intended to provide medical advice or to take the place of medical advice and treatment from your or a clients personal physician. Readers must advise clients to consult their physicians when it comes to medical problems. It is illegal to practice medicine in the United States without a license. If the client suggests otherwise, the reader must be certain to tell the client: (1) Im not a doctor and (2) Im not a substitute for a licensed medical doctor. Any information I give you here isnt prescriptive. Its meant to inform. It is not advice.

When It Comes to Legal Issues

The contents of this book are not meant to replace legal protection or help from law enforcement. Readers are advised to contact the proper authorities if they experience harassment, extortion, mental health issues due to threats and fear, actual abuse, or immediate danger. If you work from home or in an isolated setting and you advertise, please try to be certain just whom youre letting into your space. This is particularly true for prospective male clients: listen carefully when they call to make an appointment. Youre listening for something off. Not easy to spot, but please dont assume that everybody out there is nice. (For safetys sake, this author has always worked only through referral and/or in populated spaces.)
