Tarot for Christians

The main character of tarot’s first card is The Fool, and Tarot for Christians is the adventure of that innocent wanderer. THE FOOL is a simple traveler through the deck, growing and learning, experiencing and living. The Fool’s adventure is a meditation on life, not an attempt to peer into the future. It is a lesson for today, not tomorrow. Tarot for Christians is the loving and personal journey of Christ’s vagabond, and he wants us all to join him.

The main character of tarot’s first card is The Fool, and Tarot for Christians is the adventure of that innocent wanderer. THE FOOL is a simple traveler through the deck, growing and learning, experiencing and living. The author — a retired archbishop of the Old Catholic Church — brings his knowledge of metaphysics and traditional symbolism to these misunderstood “flash cards.” Each of the major cards in the deck is a station on the Fool’s journey. The archbishop explains his take on each of the major cards with humor and eager anticipation of the wisdom to be found in the images. The Fool’s adventure is a meditation on life, not an attempt to peer into the future. It is a lesson for today, not tomorrow. Tarot for Christians is the loving and personal journey of Christ’s vagabond, and he wants us all to join him.

Archbishop Wynn Wagner is the Coadjutor Emeritus of the North American Old Catholic Church. His regional responsibilities included all of the territory from Florida to Texas. He is also the retired president of the World Conference of Old Catholic Churches. Yes, his former colleagues and co-workers in the Old Catholic Church cringe a little when they hear the archbishop has written another book. Yes, they most likely rolled their eyes when they heard this was about tarot. No, Abp. Wynn doesn’t really care about that. He wrote a four-part trilogy, so bishops rolling their eyes is little more than a rounding error. Before he was an archbishop, he earned a living as a computer programmer. In addition to helping write tax software used by the largest corporations in America, he also founded OPUS, a large bulletin-board system (BBS) in the 1980s. OPUS was a forerunner of the Internet. It was the most popular BBS in history. One remarkable thing about OPUS is that Wynn never made a penny from its sale. He asked users to donate money to their local HIV/AIDS charity. Opus raised millions of dollars for those charities around the world at a time when no government and few individuals were doing anything to help those suffering from the pandemic.
