Format:Paperback
Baseball Tarot is totally the coolest! Laura Philips and Mark Lerner have a deep understanding of both baseball and tarot. As a baseball enthusiast of 28 years, and as a tarotist of 17 years, I find their achievement truly amazing and powerful! I now use Baseball Tarot as my primary deck, with great results. The book is warm and wise, and the card illustrations are rendered with a feeling for the game and for Life. My friend Joe, a sports-nut who is not (or *wasn't* :-) a woo-woo type at all, bought the deck and was astounded when he started using it--stunningly accurate readings and insights! And I bet he never would have warmed up to the Rider-Waite (Pamela Smith) deck or any of the others. Baseball is a metaphor-rich game that fits very nicely with the esoteric tradition of tarot. Good job Laura and Mark!!
Note: This deck is not to be confused with the older, and to me far less satisfying, "Tarot of Baseball" published by U.S. Games Systems, Inc.

A real home run!
7 Aug 2000
Format:Paperback
The interpretations and graphics on these cards make them a real delight to use. I am actually playing tarot. I have used many different decks but this is by far the clearest for me. This is a great way to introduce sports minded men to this wonderful practice.

What a great gift
21 July 2000
Format:Paperback
I just purchased this set as a his/her wedding shower gift and everybody just loved them. They were passed around from person to person, the ladies and the gents each finding something of value from them. The art work is beautiful, the book very complete, and the card discriptions are really very insightful. They explain things in an easy to understand, applicable to today way. They were a hit. I have about 4 more people I'm going to buy decks for including myself. I doubt anyone would be dissapointed in this set. Certainly unique for a collector of either Tarot cards, or baseball paraphernalia. Thanks :-)
