Dedications

This book is dedicated to all those townsfolk, citizens, and honoured patrons of Tarot -Town.com who engage tarot with life and share their experience and insight. You can discover an active and passionate study group for the 78 Days workbook in Tarot-Town.

We would particularly like to dedicate this work to the main road-testers of 78 Days, the gifted and talented tarot readers Shannon Gorton, Sarah Perks, Nadine Roberts, Claire Greener, Jennifer Dickensheets, Jera Babylon Rootweaver, Ann (Pearl) Coghlan, Annick Van Damme, Carole McCleery, Linette Voller, Sharon Woolf, and Donna. To the other 240+ readers and students who read through the entire course and offered suggestions, this work is also dedicated to you.

Around the Tarot in 78 Days is most deeply dedicated to our partners, leading astrologer Lyn Birkbeck (who also kindly provided the Sabian Symbols nameplates from his work The Astrological Oracle) and author Brina Katz, whose patience and inspiration supported the writing of every word of this book.

Dedicated to my father for his continual support and for buying me the Encyclopaedia of Tarot for a Christmas present in 1985, when I was seven years into my tarot studies.

—Marcus Katz

Dedicated to my mother, Margaret Goodwin (1929–1990), in memory of her loving grace and my father, Geoffrey Goodwin (1924–1996). To my sister Avril Garside for being there from the beginning.

—Tali Goodwin

As ever, and above all, this book is spiritually dedicated to Anistita Argenteum Astrum, The Priestess of the Silver Star.

She whose light leads the way to the Arcanum Arcanorum, the Secret of Secrets.
