' At its heart, the tarot is a storytelling device, a way of framing a question or an experience through symbols and archetypes. These are all familiar stories, and the tarot helps reveal the lessons and the collective knowledge contained within each one. ' In Wild Card, friends and entirely non-psychic tarot readers Jen Cownie and Fiona Lensvelt introduce you to the tarot and how to use it to explore your own story. In this beautifully illustrated guide, Jen and Fiona talk you through the meanings of each card, drawing on personal experiences as well as references to history, literature and popular culture that have shaped their understanding of the deck, while encouraging you to bring your own imagination and instincts to your readings. With chapters on the things the authors wish they' d known when they started out, tips on tackling some of the trickier cards, suggestions for spreads and advice about how context can affect your interpretations, this book invites anyone and everyone who' s curious about the tarot to give it a try. It is perfect for complete beginners, as well as more experienced readers who want to refresh their practice. Friendly, funny and straightforward, Wild Card invites readers to discover the magic of tarot: a playful, illuminating tool for sparking conversations and embarking on journeys of self-knowledge.
Jen Cownie and Fiona Lensvelt discovered a shared love of tarot in their twenties, after taking a course together at Treadwell' s, one of the UK' s oldest occult bookshops. Drawn in by the beauty and richness of its visual symbolism, they quickly became immersed in the stories the tarot contains and the ways in which those stories can help people make sense of the full range of human experience - from the most significant moments in life to the smallest ones, and from the good to the bad to the completely baffling. In 2018, they formed their stage show, Litwitchure, and have since appeared at events across the UK, introducing audiences to tarot as a tool for self-exploration and conversation, and using the cards to interview artists and authors on stage. Their interviewees have included Pulp' s Jarvis Cocker, Nina Stibbe, author of Love, Nina, Emma Jane Unsworth, author of Adults and Animals, and many more. Fiona is also an editor at the publisher Unbound and was previously The Times Books commissioning editor, while Jen works as a strategy director for an advertising agency. Wild Card is their first book.
