As always, I wish to thank my husband Steve whose love, support and technical prowess have seen me through another project. I also wish to express my love for David, Jonathan, Alona and new arrival Jake. You enrich my life in so many ways.
I'd like to thank the staff at Red Wheel/Weiser for their support over the years and for helping to bring this book to life. In particular, I'm grateful to Peter Turner who first envisioned this composite of my earlier books. It's given me the chance to review and update my thoughts about the tarot for a new audience.
I also wish to thank Kathyrn Sky-Peck for her excellent design work and Christine LeBlond, my editor. Your insightful comments and encouraging emails smoothed the way and added so much to this book.
Finally, I'd like to thank you the reader for being willing to explore the mysteries of life with open wonder. May this book encourage you on this path!
