Tarot: by Steve McCardell If you’ve noticed a conspicuous lack of tarot material in The New Times of late, I assure you it’s no conspiracy. Instead, as tarot’s popularity spreads ’cross store shelves, and books on the topic begin greeting me at work more often, I decided to pull together a collection of those recently sent to me for review that I felt most worthwhile for New Times readers and those I came across in other ways that I thought should be included. To a number of recent arrivals then, from which I hope you’ll find a few that intrigue. SACRED QUEST reviewed by Steve McCardell

One of the most fascinating things I have seen in my lifetime is the humanity's struggle to find balance in all things: equality between men and women in society; theory complementing experience in the classroom; and wonderfully, a joining of science and spirit in our worldview. We have a long way to go in these endeavors, but the struggle has always suggested something to me of human evolution, and that something is the topic of Sacred Quest.
