Register for the Minnesota Area Tarot Symposium and win!‏ Airline prices are cheeep~ check it out!

We would love to have our Texas friends join us here in Minnesota! I checked into flight prices just out of curiosity, and they're cheap!

If you can make it from the Lone Star state to the North Star state, I promise that we will treat you right!

To entice you, here's a little bit about the speakers we've got lined up:

-- A lot of you have met Julie Cuccia-Watts. She's driving in from our neighboring state of Wisconsin to talk about the four queens from the Ma'at Tarot deck. Not to brag or anything, but the paintings of those four queens will actually be ON DISPLAY at the conference ... because I bought them, and they normally hang in my bedroom! Aaaah! I've been looking at them every day for two years now, and I still get excited when I see them! It will be fun to share them with other fans of the deck this July.

-- Some of you have met Nancy Antenucci, too. She's remarkable. She makes her living as a full-time tarot reader in Minneapolis and St. Paul, she leads quarterly Mystery Circles, and she's currently writing a book for Llewellyn about psychic development with the cards.

-- You've all met or heard of Jeannette Roth from the Tarot Garden. She's coming up from Iowa, our neighbor to the south, and she'll be bringing a selection of interesting and unusual decks. We've also tapped her to share her encyclopedic knowledge of the cards, so she'll be talking about the historical development of the Star card through the years.

-- Barbara Moore, the woman who discovered Ciro Marchetti and convinced him to create a tarot deck, lives in St. Paul. She's also a prolific tarot author: she wrote the companion books for the Gilded Tarot, the Mystic Faerie Tarot, the Mystic Dreamer Tarot, and the Enchanted Oracle. She'll teach us all how to create tarot-based "life maps."

-- Chuck Boe is a major player on the Twin Cities tarot scene. As a tarot reader, he's a mainstay at the Eye of Horus bookstore in Minneapolis. His readings are gentle, insightful, and dead-on accurate, because he blends an extensive knowledge of the cards with formal training in human development and healing. He wrote his thesis on tarot counseling, and that's what he'll be talking about.

-- And I'll be there to talk about my passion for combining tarot cards with creative writing, based on my book, "Tarot for Writers."

So quick, find a cheap ticket north, and plan to join us for the Minnesota Area Tarot Symposium!
